Secret Service allows 15,000 potential armed terrorists into Romney Event

The (Romney) campaign announced that 30,000 people attended, but Secret Service sources said just 15,000 went through metal detectors.

So the Secret Service failed to screen 15,000 people! That is shocking, but it is the only explanation.

The only alternative explanation I can see would be that a man seeking the highest office in our nation is a compulsive liar, which is ridiculous.

I am calling for a full investigation of this incredible security lapse. Hopefully on TV. With free popcorn.

Don't worry. They were so moved by the rally they self-deported. pinboy3niner Nov 2012 #1

If I were a staffer on the Romney campaign, I'd be drunk enough to see double, too.

Not sure who keeps up with such things but no one can tell me some record of fail has not been broken in 2012.

Good Lawd.........

What will be absolutely delish is the FAIL of Romney's gigantic fantasy of ruling the common people and the most powerful military in the world. White Horse Prophecy said he was The One. The great Mormon savior who was owed the Presidency.

He stunk up the country with his crap and I look forward to rubbing his face in it, wish it was all literal.

Scary nightmare stuff going on in 2012. Even scarier than the McCain/Palin '08 fright show.

It seems almost like scripted comedy... or tragi-comedy, since this comedy campaign will get more than 45% of the vote.
