Bus Driver Tells Boy Chanting 'Romney' With Classmates He 'Should Have Been Aborted' Unidentified 81-year-old driver was fired after an investigation By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 15 October 2012

A 12-year-old Wisconsin boy is haunted by the cruel taunt of his bus driver, who told him that his mother should have opted for abortion instead of bringing him into the world.

Joey Hartlaub was confused and upset by the remark and his mother, understandably, was furious. Debbie Ann Hartlaub said the 81-year-old bus driver had been harassing her son for weeks. She went straight to the bus company with her story and got the woman fired.

The boy's mother said the 81-year-old bus driver had been harassing her son for weeks, following a Romney-Ryan poster being installed on their lawn, right Joey told Fox that the incident occurred after he and his classmates were chanting 'Romney! Romney!' in the back of the bus. 'She kind of yelled at us, and told me to come up front,' Joey said. Then, Joey explained himself, citing President Barack Obama's pro-abortion politics as the reason for his support of Mitt Romney.

'Well, maybe your mother should have chosen an abortion for you!' the bus driver allegedly told the seventh grader.

Where are this old lady's children to take care of her in her old age?

Gee maybe she doesn't have any children because she murdered all her children before they ever had a chance to be born.

Maybe that's why she resents people who didn't make the mistakes she made which have left her alone and unloved.

I love discrimination of all kinds. You see, I believe businesses should be able to fire any employee for any reason, or even for no reason. If she wanted to make the rules insead of following the rules, then maybe she should have started her own business.

I don’t see any reason for an adult to tell a child that they should be murdered just because they don’t agree with you politically
____________________________________________

Wheres your proof that that happened ???

It seems that it was the other way around...

The one getting political was the kid...

he said so...

and the female who birthed him did also...

The politics of the woman are not even mentioned...

whether or not the woman agreed is not really mentioned...

only elluded to by the female who birthed the punk...

No persifics...

No actual statement or sworn testameny..

There is no mention of what the woman may or may not have said about her own politiacal persuasion...

It may well be that she is a Conservative who is pro-life and wont vote for the liberal pro-abortion Willard...

(I dont have a Romney sign on my yard or car either)

and we see this same thing here...

Look at the threads from a few months ago...

Some of us refuse to vote for Willard because he is a baby killer...

We explain ourselves, citing Willard’s pro-abortion politics as the reason we wont support him...

We see the chant Romney Romney Romney every day all day and the taunts...

We are told we must be Obama supporters because we wont vote for Willard and join in the chant of Kumbyah Willard...

Is that any reason to abuse us and tell us we are inferior because we dont agree with Willard or his RomneyBorts politically ???

Both you and I dont know what was said ...

I know how annoying grownup RomneyBots can be...

If that female who birthed the punk Joey siced him onto the old lady because she didnt have a Romney sign uin her yard then the female bears some responsibility also...

Meanwhile none of us know what really happened but theres some here who tossed the Constitution out the window bours ago...

“Rights for me and mine but not for thine...”

I prefer to stick with innocent till proven guilty...

Nana, last time I checked Tennessee is a Right to Work state. If you don’t like that, then maybe you should move to one of them liberal yankee states where union lawyers shake down private businessess for firing no-good employees.

My 12 year old uncle, (Yes, I do have a 12 year old uncle). Was given a written reprimand from a bus driver a week or so ago, my grandpa told him that he would be taking him to school until further notice.

Uncle Nick said, “But I didn’t get kicked off the bus”. Gramps told him, “I just kicked you off - among other punishments”. Nick had been disrespectful and unruly on the bus.

I am basing my opinion on the facts that were in this story when it was posted previously last week. There was an investigation and the driver was fired after the investigation.
And in what world would a pro life person advocate the murder of someone who disagrees with them, which is what she did? That is a liberal, pro choice tactic.

Yep, juries are all intelligent, might I refer you to the OJ Simpson trial...It is anyones right to form an opinion, but willing to change it if more info comes out, no old lady over 70 should be driving school bus’s...its like someone on free republic telling you and one of your children that you should have aborted him.....shame on you for giving birth, old bitch says that to a 12 year old. She’s off her meds.....

I had 5 kids and there isn’t a child on gods green earth that could harass me, including my kids. If she can’t stand the heat, she should take her scrawny butt off the bus and go home....all the talk you say about it being the kids fault is hogwash....ROMNEY, ROMNEY GEE big harrassment.

“5 did Joeys mother apply for the job of bus driver since there appears to be an opening now ???”

Where did you get the idea she needed a job? It is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Out of your 5 points this is your least substaintiated. Sadly it is the least relevant. You seem to think verbally abusing children is a feature that adults should have.
