tenpoundsofcheese: it is fun to watch how desperate 0bama is to beat Romney.

He has been campaigning for 3.5 years and all he's got is a 0.7% lead and a whole lot of lame like this.

It's fun to watch how desperate y0u are as y0u pretend that R0mney's sorry ass has a chance.

The Republicans would never do anything like this.

Even if this BS article was true, why do Republicans hate the free market?

St_Francis_P: Neither of the representatives agreed to give their names, but two protesters said they were getting paid to stand outside of the rally, though their wage is unclear: one said she was getting $7.25 per hour, while another man said they were being paid $17 per hour.

Meanwhile, about 50 feet away, another protest had been organized by local Democrats in conjunction with the Obama campaign. A campaign official told BuzzFeed they had nothing to do with the other group - which he said he believed they had been sent by the labor-backed "Good Jobs Now" - and confirmed that they were being paid.

This is all massively confusing. Why are they getting paid drastically different amounts? Confirmed who was being paid by whom? Between the "facts" of the case and the crappy writing I'm not sure what's going on.

The one being paid $7.25 per hour was a woman.

AirForceVet: Ed Willy: For being a winner, didn't Romney send his paid minions first to blow bubbles to disrupt an Obama campaign event?

Romney paid for someone to blow Bubbles? I didn't even know that was a dude's name.

skullkrusher: Corvus: Why can't they spend the money on strippers at a B&D club like the family value Republicans do?

"During a February RNC trip to Los Angeles, a $1,946.25 tab was racked up at Voyeur, a West Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers and has been a hangout for Lindsay Lohan and other celebs," the New York Post writes ... Voyeur features a net suspended from the ceiling where topless women perform, and a glass booth with even racier performances, according to reviews."

ok, that's enough deflection for one thread, Corvie.

Why? You have the patent on it? Don't like people taking over your turf?

False flag, non-story

Actually, dubious veracity.

That people are willing to whore themselves out for a political campaign shows just how bad the Bush economy is.

Romney has been campaigning for over six years, and he lost to the guy who lost to Obama

/Where the hell are the Obamunists? 2 positive votes? Jesus you guys are slow tonight

I always forget about link voting, thanks for the reminder. Not because I'm an "Obamunist", but because this article is incredibly poorly written. Buzzfeed is pretty much like Fark, except the people that write there use their own names. Linking to this is like basing a thread on a comment shiat out by "FlacoCabeza".
