even Romney's rallie's are lie's

What a great media picture it made! Mitt Romney was at an Ohio rally, standing at a lectern with his white shirtsleeves rolled up in that common-guy style he often adopts. The best visual, though, was a great-looking group of coal miners in overalls, work shirts, and hardhats gathered behind him. A sign on the lectern declared: "Coal Country Stands With Mitt."
Well, actually, it's coal executives who really stand with Mitt – rich guys in suits. In fact, the miners in the photo seemed downright sour, frowning at the Republican, as if they didn't really want to be there.
It turns out they didn't. The sorry truth is that they were compelled by the corporate honchos of Murray Energy to be props at Romney's staged PR event. Yet, in twisted language that would make Orwell cringe, a Murray official later told WWVA radio that while "attendance at the Romney event was mandatory… no one was forced to attend." Huh? Okay, Murray didn't use cattle prods to herd them to the rally, but it did make workers "pre-register" to attend – and it was clear that anyone who didn't sign up risked getting fired.
i knew it, i wrote at the time who would vote for someone who wants to deregulate an already deadly job, their lives are in danger constantly and more so if the republicans get in and vote in favor of corporate shortcuts, despicable Murray Energy and more despicable Williard, was he laughing at those workers as he probably did with the Bain bombings?  will he tell them to go to the ER when deregulation cause black lung disease, Coalworker's pneumoconiosis, COPD.
"Coal miners say they were forced to attend Romney even and donate," www.rawstory.com, August 28, 2012.
deception is the republican plan to steal the WH all their voter blocking, redistricting and all falling apart ramp up the lies, not presidential.
