Romney Seeks Vengeance For Obama’s ‘Revenge’ Remark
Source: huffington post
Mitt Romneys campaign is reorganizing itself around a new last-second message, accusing President Obama of urging his supporters to vote out of revenge.
The new line of attack stems from an Obama rally in Springfield, Ohio on Friday in which he briefly interrupted his speech after the audience booed House Republicans and Romney.
No, no, no dont boo, vote, Obama said. Vote. Voting is the best revenge.
This didnt sit well with Romney, who incorporated it into a speech the same night, also in Ohio.
Vote for revenge? Romney said. Let me tell you what Id like to tell you: Vote for love of country.
His running mate Paul Ryan referenced Obamas revenge in a speech on Saturday morning in Ohio as well.
We dont believe in revenge, we believe in change, in hope. We actually do! he said.

(2,795 posts)It's a gaffe Probably not the best word but if people could hear or know half the crooked, corrupt shit Romney says and does, the smart ones would run screaming from him. But of course we don't have that kind of reporting so no one ever knows the truth of the truly corrupt.

(2,795 posts)I guess I think of a gaffe as a mistake in word or statement. But if it's really compared to the Romney gaffes, it really doesn't apply. Like I said probably not a good choice of words when you've got willards camp stalking every single thing the president is saying and doing - just hoping for something they can use, distort and exploit.

Best to avoid handing them one by saying anything really outrageous & not worry about the rest.

Obama, don't boo, vote! Which means, booing doesn't help but voting is more productive, in crushing Romney's lies.

(19,326 posts)constructively, not to personalize it by cursing or booing Mittens,
but to take that energy to the ballot box where it belongs.
Then Mitt makes it sound like Obama's doing the exact opposite,
telling voters to take "personal revenge" against Mitt. too weird.

It's OK for the Republican House leaders (Paul Ryan included) + Frank Luntz and Newt to hold a meeting the night Obama is inaugurated for President in 2009 and plot to destroy the US economy in the hopes of ruining the man's presidency before it even started. Is that "love of your country", Mitt? And now you are whining that Obama called for revenge on November 6, 2012?
Hey Romney and Ryan: FUCK YOU BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're dam right it is revenge to want to oust the people who would keep all of us on our knees to whims of the corporate titans.
Poor babies and typical Republicans: they can call President Obama a socialist,communist,Nazi, Neo-colonial Kenyan, un-American Muslim, and anti-Christ, but when the president states the truth, they meltdown. The truth really hurts! God I can't wait to hear the Romney concession speech and the pained look on Ann and Tagg's face! Like other losers in American political history, Please go away quickly and quietly.
