C'mon Mitt; Give A Mother A Break!

[bladimz]

When mothers get in the way of a good, gooey campaign story... (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/10/1142665/-Romney-ignores-request-from-mother-of-Navy-Seal-killed-in-Benghazi-to-stop-using-son-in-stump-speech)


Romney ignores request from mother of Navy SEAL killed in Benghazi to stop using son in stump speech

Ignoring a request from the mother of one of the Navy SEALs killed last month in Libya, Mitt Romney today once again told a campaign audience of meeting with her son at a Christmas party two years ago.

After Romney told his story of meeting Glen Doherty during a campaign rally yesterday, Barbara Doherty—mother of Glen Doherty, one of the Navy SEALs killed in the Benghazi attack—had asked Romney to stop using her son's memory to advance his political agenda.

And today, Romney gave his response: he'd rather continue "humanizing" himself on the campaign trail than respect a grieving mother's wishes.
Most people knew about this mother's request before this presidential candidate. He is out of touch, isn't he...

Oh well, it was a good story while it lasted.

What a stupid idiot this Mitt character is ...

[bladimz]

Well, he handled Jim Lehrer, pretty well, after all.

She is also trashing the regime.....

[Mainecoons]

Stupid is relying on a source like the Daily Kos. In fact, Romney promptly agreed to the mother's request.


Romney spokesman Rick Gorka said: "Gov. Romney was inspired by the memory of meeting Glen Doherty and shared his story and that memory, but we respect the wishes of Mrs. Doherty."
Romney told the Doherty story at his first stop in Ohio (http://thepoliticalforums.com/topics//Ohio) on Wednesday, but did not at his next two public appearances.

You two clowns are really grasping at straws here.

You two clowns are really grasping at straws here.
Mainecoons Yeah... Liberals tend to do that quite a bit.

[Captain Obvious]

Using Big Bird's tactics.

Well, then. Either Daily Kos is lying, the mother is lying or the Romney Camp is lying. And Romney has a history... Like that his plan will cover pre-existing conditions. Oh, never mind. That's not a lie, that's a campaign promise. But to be honest, his story does make him seem "kinder and gentler". (Where did i hear that before...)

[Mainecoons]

No, Romney said he's stop using it and he did. The Daily Kos lies and distorts as SOP. You really need to stop looking at such trash. It is rather like a conservative following Rush Limbaugh or worse. It just makes you look like a dumb partisan hack when you quote from such a corrupted and compromised source.

And stop diverting. We're not discussing what Romney says about ObamaCare.

[Peter1469]

Daily Kos does nothing but lie and spin. It is what they live for. They are loons.

Yeah...Obama never lies, he just distorts the truth or ignores it altogether.
