Five thousand dollars a day?

That's almost two million dollars a year. That's how much Romney is paying for private security for him and his family. No wonder everyone else in cheato's party is scared to speak out. Heard on Chris Hayes.

but he shouldn't have to. And the other R's can't. At least not most of them. I don't feel too sorry for them but he had the courage to speak out. That shouldn't be a reason to live in fear of your life.
