28. Quick Draw Romney

Poor Mitt Romney - born with TWO silver feet in his mouth!!!

Somebody should ASK Romney: Say you are holed up in your Lake Winnipesauke summer mansion in New Hampshire with your sons and grand-kids.

Some disgruntled ex-employees - from a company that Romney's firm Bain Capital took over and fired - show up threatening violence.

They are upset over a film they saw showing how Bain took over their old employer, gutted the company, fired workers here, shipped jobs overseas and made millions in profits.

Would Romney tell these trigger-happy, on-the-edge ticking time bombs to:

(a) Go to hell, this is how capitalism works, get over it...OR

(b) Wave a white flag and try to see how you can work with them to address their grievances, maybe find them jobs at Bain?

Based on Romney's reaction, he would do (a).

But we know that if it was his family, he would NOT stand on principles, would he? He would choose option (b) just like the embassy did!

Like the rest of us would do when it's OUR LIVES on the line!

Quick Draw Romney - ow, ow!! Get Down!!!
