96. Did you read the specs? Is 'The Beast' a marketing tool to prevent the murder of Obama?

Sat May 30, 2015, 06:29 PM

May 2015

Because the murderers were out in force as he was a candidate. Even HRC mentioned it.

No one in their right mind would ignore what the Secret Service is doing to try to save the life of a POTUS, or a candidate.

Romney had that protection with an entourage of at least 20 or more to protect him. That is part of the deal. And every candidate gets those funds spent to prevent chaos reigning. It doesn't matter who it is.

It's not marketing. Their lives are worth a little bit of effort, and I'm sure Bernie doesn't see his entourage as marketing, either. There are a lot of hateful, armed MRA's and RWNJs roaming about would kill any Democrat running for office.

All of my representatives had credible threats made against their lives and those of their entire familiies for endorsing the ACA in 2010. Medgar Evers, JFK, RFK and MLK, Jr. were not shot by people without a political agenda or egged on by those without a political agenda.

I wouldn't want to be a target for wingnuts and not do anything to protect myself. Would you?

It is not marketing a candidate.
