Ah, this morning, more details about the "Disaster Relief" event...
It appears that the RMoney staff was worried about the event looking like the fake "staged event" (that it was). They were afraid by changing it at the last minute from a "campaign event" to the so-called "disaster relief event", they might end up with an empty truck which would be a bad photo-op. So, the night before they sent the campaign staff to a local Wal-Mart and bought $5,000 worth of granola bars, diapers and canned goods, so they would have something for the photo-op. (I guess they learned their lesson from the Ryan "staged photo-op in the soup kitchen" fiasco.) Soooo, they got their photo-op, and RMoney got a chance to look like he was doing something....in that hard-hit state..... OHIO...
"But even as Romney, clad in blue jeans and rolled-up sleeves, hustled around his area of the gym, shaking hands, thanking supporters, and stacking cases of bottled water on top of each other, signs of stagecraft remained.
As supporters lined up to greet the candidate, a young volunteer in a Romney/Ryan T-shirt stood near the tables, his hands cupped around his mouth, shouting, "You need a donation to get in line!"
Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, "What if we dropped off our donations up front?"
The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. "Just grab something," he said.
Two teenage boys retrieved a jar of peanut butter each, and got in line. When it was their turn, they handed their "donations" to Romney. He took them, smiled, and offered an earnest "Thank you." --Buzzfeed

rofllol You guys are so gullible if you think this stuff is newsworthy.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
You guys are so willing to overlook any lie, any phony photo-op, any financial improprieties, any tax-evasion, tax-avoidance, scandals, hypocrisy that IS "newsworthy." rofllol
And since you get all your news from the HuffPo echo chamber, you won't hear about Obama nor Biden's screwups or jerry-rigged photo-ops
:pop "Scott Walker Rejected By The Voters" Round II right?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
You'll get over the Scott Walker thing...after Nov 6th...
And to point out the obvious, it appears that photo-shopped photos, "creatively edited" videos and audios, and vile "dirty tricks" emails, voice-mails and phone-calls appear to be mostly the province of the TeaFascists....

Meanwhile Ambassador Stevens is still dead. Do you have a line in the sand? What won't you ignore if it comes from the left?
