QUAKERTOWN, Penn. -- Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney did a switcheroo Saturday afternoon – moving his early afternoon event from one gas station to another in the same town.
Follow @AlexNBCNews
On the second day of the “Every Town Counts” bus tour, Romney was scheduled to appear at a Quakertown Wawa, but more than 100 protesters gathered before Romney's planned arrival. With no explanation to the press, the campaign switched venues as the motorcade was en route and diverted everyone a couple miles away to another Wawa store.

This was just the latest confrontation in the ongoing scuffles between the two sides politically this campaign season.
Just about two weeks ago while President Barack Obama's senior campaign adviser, David Axlerod, was in Boston -- where Romney's campaign headquarters is located -- massive amounts of anti-Obama protesters drowned out his speech.

Looks like this is the way it will go from the two sides for the duration of the election.
I don't know who started it, but this is going to become "the new big thing".
There will be an organized effort on both sides to get out the protest for opponents every upcoming public campaign speaking event. Don't be surprised if "the protestors" do not become the only election campaign event news story reported by the media from here on out.
The media won't waste time reporting on what the candidate actually said, but only on how big and loud the protestors were at the event.
So much for anyone relying on the media to cover what was actually said by either candidate, that won't make news. The news the media will drool at the mouth over will be that daily "drown-out the candidate" protest.
Just wait and see....

And as this fad catches on and becomes the major daily news media cover story, we the poor sap voting public sitting at home will no longer hear one single reliable word reported on what the candidate had actually said. If there are not loud public event protests, the media will have no interest beyond that.

So you know what that means?
All the hard information we will hear about the candidate will come only from those super pack gutter TV ads. The media will become the "enabler" to fill your homes with your only source of election information... super pack funded TV ads 24/7.
And thus completing the circle, granted by the US Supreme Court, with allowing a very few wealthy unknown individuals to buy elections from now on and forever more.
Our news media? Reduced to nothing more than tabloid rags.
Million dollar super packs all set to reap full benefit for their few and unknown investors.

And average Joe the voter? Slaughter of the lambs sweet and simple.....
Richard Nixon would be so proud.

And? It's not like they do anything they say they will. Campaigns are nothing but "what you want to hear" lie fest.

I bet those protestors were fuming in impotent rage that their hate-fest was so easily thwarted.

Either candidate? You're being purposely disingenuous. Obama is never going to cancel any campaign event because it will be closely orchestrated and controlled as he typically does. ID's of attendees will be checked and dissenters will be removed.

You're mad because Romney didn't wade into the middle of a hate fest most likely brought about by the SEIU or similar groups who paid people to be there. To top it off, you're not even remotely interested in anything Romney has to say unless it's something you feel could be used against him.

Your faux outrage is transparent.

Looks like it worked...

A typical Republican talking point would be the dangers of Communism. Even today Romney tries to gin up votes by attacking Rusia. The theme was always the fear that fanaticism could do. But look today at who the fanatics, the strident pushers of political orthadoxy, those won't compromise on ideology. The Republicans have become the dangerous fanatics of the day. As I have said again and again, you become what you fear. Now their disruptions at democratic events have drawn response and the gloating that it was thwarted. But for how long. How far into the gutter will the Republicans take us. There is no limit that I can see. And it's fate that folk fight pigs with pigs. Slop for all. Enjoy. When defective brains begin to manifest with real power, people take up arms. The fanaticism of the Republican party will destroy it and all the things it stands for now will be repudiated and despised by tomorrow's conservatives. You can already see it happening. But the psychos is not yet fully spent. So sad.

Yes, the Romney camps little hate-fest for the working class got shut down good.

Funny how in the real world conservatism only exists in a few trailerparks and old persons homes across America who have nothing better to do with their lives but live off of the outrage the cookie cutter cult of conservatism creates for them.

Where are all these moral crusading conservatives defending god, stability and capitalism?

Once again, the American people could care less about conservatism beyond a few black and white wedge issues they trot out to keep family members of historical republican families voting R.

Not saying Dems are a helluva lot better then hoping for warm bodies in this apathetic political environment but at least they can get people out in numbers.

All the while the aging 20th century consumer dinosaurs of corporate tv/radio fade into the sunset of history, trying to feel relevant after literally doing NOTHING for humanity for the past 30 years -except not getting nuked. Hoo-freaking-ray.

 

[nextJin]

Well at least in Romneys case he has become used to this, he has been dealing with Ron Paul people since '08 and especially the start of this year. Obama can tackle people who confront him pretty easily and won't shrug them off "usually". Romney is the exact opposite which is likely why he is dodging these people.

He is no Ron Paul, he is either going to have a crowd of 100 people bitching at him or a crowd of 25 senior citizens cheering him on.

 

[brianmanahan]

lol

 

[leper84]

Yeahhh! Protest the two carbon copies! That'll fix 'mericuh. Go protest that commie Obummurh. His policies the exact same as Romney? Shut up and take your rations.. eerr... food stamps!

Is this what they are teaching you to think in the gulag? Apparently, your reeducation is complete.

Reeducation? This is hilarious coming from a fanboi so ate up by the entertainment industry he lives to spread fake propaganda from a Australian tabloid media empire. You right wing sorts are so clueless, it's like having to sit around and listen to a socially deprived housewife talk about the soap operas world she watches all day featuring a bunch of boring old stuffed suits who pretend like they live in the 18th century still. Jeez, at least if you are going to buy into a fantasyworld get into Star Trek or something, it's the same level of rabid fanboism and just as reality based.

Agreed It sucks that most are going to have to suffer due to the actions of a few.

Most of the few who are doing this to America are the ones who will come out of it smelling like a damn rose too.

The rank and file neocons lack the ability to reason although the leading neocons surely know that they're destroying America from within.

 

[fskimospy]

I'm just sad that my beloved Wawa has been sullied by politics.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Isn't the better question; Why is Romney campaigning at gas stations?

 

[sm625]

Shouting down Obama just to support his corporate fascist clone doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

 

[feralkid]

Because they won't let him visit any more factories?

I'd like to see him stump at State owned publicly funded Universities. Now that would be fun to watch.

To point out gas prices are out of control since Obama took office.

Gas Prices here are down about 30 cents recently.

Edit: Ooh, you're trolling. I get it now. Nevermind, carry on with your impotent rage.

Gas prices were 1.90 per gallon when he took office.

You do the math on how much of an increase since he took office. I'll make it easy = WELL OVER 50%.

A question was asked, and I provided the TRUTH.

Wait, wait.... what does that chart show?
Gas prices were HIGHER in 2008 than the entire time period Obama has been in office?
Naw, that can't be. When Spidey posts the "TRUTH" he means it.

 

[BoberFett]

What I find truly baffling is that someone, somewhere decided that Wawa was a good name for a retail chain.

"Under my policy, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket"
Barrack Hussein Obama

He promised this is what he would do, he's just "keeping his promise"

May the greatest of fuck be upon Obama.

And with that, I will not derail this thread any further.
