Mitt Romney, in pledging to turn around the Olympics in 2002, had promised to restore the honor and integrity of the scandal-clouded Salt Lake City. The Games captured the world’s attention and became all the more urgent after terrorists attacked us on 9-11. But while Romney invoked the wellspring of American patriotism after the attacks, he neglected their heroes, the fallen firefighters of that early September morning.
Romney’s executive assistant, Donna Tillery, twice denied requests to provide free or discounted tickets to widows and orphans of the felled firefighters but gave them for free to Utah legislators just six weeks later, according to a new book, The Real Romney (HarperCollins, 2012).
Tillery sent e-mails to A.J. Barto, a former Salt Lake City firefighter helping the 9-11 widows and orphans, citing a policy barring giveaways, but Romney gave 100 free surplus tickets ($885 each) to Utah legislators. “I was outraged at the hypocrisy,” Barto told Kranis and Helman. “In less than two months, he went from saying, ‘We’re going to run a tight ship’ to throwing out free tickets to a group of people who could help him politically.” (221)

Yes, Romney’s viscious attack on Gingrich, his promise at the last debate to defer to his “prophets” on important decisions if elected.
Those poor 9/11 widows already had food stamps and Medicaid. They expected free Olympics tickets too? Geez!
Spoken as a true Mit-bot.
Good grief. Does he kill kittens with his bare hands?
He am surprised?
Probably not but he HAS TIED HIS IRISH SETTER (while in a dog crate) to the ROOF OF HIS CAR because the dog was car sick and he didn't want to deal with the mess.
What a guy! Makes me want to go right out and vote for him! (yeah right)
Mitt is out of touch with the common person.
Romney is a liberal. He has NEVER been a conservative. He also lies.
No but he puts dogs on the roof of his car.
Poor sick, scared dog on the car top in the cold and wind..!
Romney: Nice hair, but prefers to avoid widows, orphans, and cold, sick dogs.
And poor people.
He denied olympic tickets to 9-11 widows and orphans. RME.
Seriously, he has way more serious issues but it seems even Conservatives are falling for the liberal BS.
He gives me the creeps just looking at his darting eyes and bobbing all over the place when he talks, and that nervous laugh he gets is just to much.
even Conservatives are falling for the liberal BS.
To the contrary, this is showing the "measure of the man" that would be president. The fact that you can't see that is, well.... Sad.
Add this to the growing list of things that Obamao will BURRY Mittens with during the general election.
You know something Mittens is turning into a National Lampoon Candidate. I’ll been LMAO all day.
Yes you are. He has
and is
He denied free tickets to widows and orphans?
They should get free tickets because?
Maybe we should tax anyone with a job and give 39% to widows and orphans.
This is all so absurd.
Yep, that fact that he denied 9-11 folks - he is still a non-Conservative ass, as I’ve said previously. Sorry, but I will NOT vote for Romney!
Yes he is as ASS, just not sure who we can vote for at this point. To me - Gingrich is an ASS, Santorum is a Semi-ASS, that leaves Ron Paul who is can we say a bit of a creep!
So.. just who am I expected to vote for the Conservative ticket? We have a bunch of losers here with no out.
No, kidding.
