Why Romney Posing In Colorado Doesn't Help Firefighters One Damned Bit

Romney recently posed for photos in Colorado, boxing up food donations and trying to appear concerned about firefighters and the local citizens. But then, there’s this:

“(Obama) wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen, policemen, more teachers . . . it’s time for us to cut back on government.” Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney, Council Bluffs, IA, June 8, 2012.

because we know how to pick candidates, and Romney is no candidate.

He's a travelling sideshow circus for the 1%'ers.

but too many people here are listening to FAUX...

He hasn't lost Colorado by any stretch yet.

It's a battle state and the number of political ad (blech) reinforces that.
