It is ironic that he is talking about Dwight Eisenhower and good leadership when we start our "interruption." Eisenhower warned us in a speech as he left office about building up a permanent military and warned of starting a military industrial complex. Mitt Romney is talking incessantly about spending more on defense and building up our military even more...WTF. This has been the downfall of many great countries and it will be for us too if we go down that path. Wake up America!!

The LA times was incorrect in its reporting. The protesters were the ones chanting USA not the Romney supporters. I was in attendence and chanting USA,

[stardust1963]

@lstewart747 they have now corrected the article because we emailed them and asked them too. Great article by the way....so now it is even better!! Thanks for being there!

At one point during his outdoor rally at a building supply company, Romney was interrupted by protesters chanting “We are the people.” He quickly dismissed them.“No, actually, these are the people,” Romney shouted back. “These are the people; you’re the interrupters. We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the right to speech. And you believe in interrupting. Take a hike.”

@stardust1963 Though it was unclear to most of the crowd who the protesters were representing. Romney suggested they were attacking “free enterprise.” “I love these guys, by the way, who don’t like America and our free-enterprise system, and they have something else in mind,” he said. “Take a look at Cuba; take a look at North Korea; take a look at the former Soviet Union. Our system works. What they’re fighting for does not work. I believe in America.”

Great Story in LA Times- Mitt Romney tells interruptors at rally to take a hike. We are the ones chanting USA USA as we walk out of the event....

He handled that terribly.

as the 99% chant "USA" ,Mitt starts talking about these people that don't like America. He just doesn't get it! It's these people (Occupy) that love this country so much that they take time to come to these events,create their own events, stand on street corners to inform the public,etc. The people who 'mike checked Mitt' are the ones that REALLY love their country, they risk getting beat up by the cops and arrested to show how much. GO 99% ! Praise Occupy and Occupy Daytona for their work!

Mitt Romney supporters are hypocritical corporatists.

@dizzymasekela It works GREAT for the 1%. It's fucking bull shit. I'm tired of this shit!

@stardust1963 I think Romney is getting 'free-market' and Socialism mixed up. Canada in fact has more of a free-market than us! Look it up on 'Trade Economics'!

[esca8652]

@stardust1963 He also talks about how he loves America and the American values. If that were so, he wouldn't be for the Wall St. bailouts or abolishing our civil liberties (as he said that he would've voted for the NDAA). He doesn't give a fuck about America!

The money lenders and war machinery complete the circle of doom for the people of the world

No one among the poor and middle working class is my enemy. Rmoney wants our votes. He is deceptive as his lies as to who the protesters are and what they stand for attest.. Free enterprise has wormed it's way into selling human needs at prohibitive cost and driving wages down to below rock bottom. Free enterprise is wealth as power. Your labor is bought as cheaply as possible and sold back to you for what you cannot afford to buy.

[webfish69]

Did he just say the 99% want a country like Cuba or North Korea? What a dumb son of a bitch. Epic Fail Mitt, epic fail. lmao!
