Romney Gets In Shouting Match With Crowd At Iowa State Fair

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney faced a rowdy crowd at the Iowa State Fair, with people interrupting his answers to chant "Wall Street greed."

One questioner asked the GOP presidential candidate what he would do to strengthen Social Security. The voter didn't like Romney's pledge not to raise taxes, and interrupted him.

Romney pointed angrily at the crowd and told them to give him a chance to answer. After a minutes-long exchange with Romney and the crowd shouting over each other, Romney said, "If you want to speak, you can. But it's my turn."

Romney received at least three or four questions from liberal plants who wanted to know his position on entitlements, taxes and corporations.

Romney told a heckler that "corporations are people, my friend."

My neighbor in Miami worked for dade international for 17 years. Romneys corporation bain capital bought dade and chopped it into little pieces and sold them off to other corporations. He made millions on the deal and 2000 Americans lost their decent paying middle class jobs in Miami. My neighbor now sells stuff on ebay to pay his bills. Most company mergers lose money and cost Americans jobs, those that make the deal like romney walk away with the loot and give us the boot.

The idea that lower & individual tax rates spur job growth is a 30-year REPUBLICAN LIE. Since the implementation of the REAGAN& BUSH TAX CUTS, America has LOST MORE jobs than at any other time in its history. Not collecting a FAIR SHARE of taxes from corporations& the wealthy has spawned a SERIOUS REVENUE PROBLEM which should be a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY. On the other hand, a WORKING MIDDLE CLASS with money to spend DOES SPUR JOB GROWTH. AMERICA,REJECT THE REPUBLICAN LIE!

I just can't understand how Romney keeps winning all these primaries, either he's cheating, or people are just that nieve, and stupid to see what's really going on. You want real change, RON PAUL 2012!!!

YEA BITCH Romney Is An ASSHOLE

[Ronpaulitics1234]

The only way to save Social Security is to vote for RON PAUL 2012!!!! Romney is a flip flopper and is not fit to run this country do your own real research on him!! Where do you think he made his millions to buy the media and your vote?

@kevcarm101 Socialo security would be fine of Congress had stopped from raiding the funds to pay for their pet projects unassociated with social security, trillions have been removed under the publics nose. Medicare could be helped a lot by making illegal aliens pay through their home country, send mexico the bill.

@mrhulot101 On the other hand, Romney and santorum, now that bachman are gone, are the only 2012 contenders ledt that are saying they will make e verify mandatory and enforce our immigration laws.

Immigration has kept the wages of the working poor low for decades. The on;y peoplein favor of massive immigration pocket the profits and pass all the social,economic and environmental costs onto the communities.

This guy is so fake. So staged. The bales of hay? He probably has a body language coach in the back showing him when to raise his hands and wave his arms and smile. So plastic.

On a scarier note: at 1:53- 2:00 some one behind Romney, to his left, suddenly points a camera in that convenient opening and photographs who? ... the people questioning Romney?

I would love to punch him in his smooth, smug face...
