That is a fine man, with a good heart.

And he wasn’t handing out Obama money ( from his stash).

I’m sorry isn’t this technically a bribe? Or can you give straight cash out. Lyndon Johnson use to do the same thing (Robert Caro describes this extensively).

In all seriousness, I used to live in Philadelphia and it was not only common, but legal.

It was called “street money.”  They used it in get out the vote efforts.  They hand out cash, provide transportation, and meals.

See folks, voting for me literally PAY$!

Thank you, I have enough money to give everyone in the country a dollar.  Vote for me and your check is in the mail.

No, it’s a “donation”.  I had my lawyers check it out forehand.

lol at Gloves Scott your a clown… You really believe this story?

This is what capitalism is all about.

I guess god wasn’t busy with Tebow that day.  Where do you people come up with these stories?

Now if this was Obama, he would call forth a $150,000 a year bureaucrat over to talk to the lady and help her with taxpayer funds.  Romney gives the lady a few bucks and moves along.  Romney solves problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Yeah this totally sounds like a conservative, here have some government money! 

hahah can’t believe this guy is the “frontrunner”.

Oh horseshit!  Obviously staged and a volunteer.  Convenient.

double

LMAO.. This is such Bull.

He helped a woman in need. We’ve all done something like that and no more should be made of it.

IT WAS OBVIOUSLY SET UP!!!

I just need a few bucks for “gas”

WOW–now hes my hero…Cmon what a stage job-$50!! He probably hid the other $5000 in his other pocket $50- $250,000,000 = is like .00000002%…I dont care about it being illegal as I would rather the woman have a few bucks in her pocket even though I think it was a prop job..If he really gave a shit -hed have one of his people give her more $$ anonymously

Capitalism is about Democratic organizers going into impoverished black communities with money, food, and transportation in exchange for votes? 

Well, as long as it comes from leftover private donations to the local DNC and not tax payer dollars, I guess I don’t have a problem with it.  Doesn’t say much about the Democratic party though.

He didn’t say, “I’ll give you this money if you vote for me”, so no.

Thank you!

No I’m just asking because Caro paints it in a pretty negative light. So I only assumed its either frowned upon or not allowed. Also its nice that Mitt is doing that. 

now Mitt will have to give out “a handful of cash” to everyone on the campaign trail to show how he connects!!

I could go anywhere and buy votes anywhere.  Poor people votes are just cheaper.

Did he give her the $10,000 he saved when Perry refused to bet with him??

How did that solve the problem?

Haha…

how ludicrous. As they say, a Romney voter is either rich or stupid

Hmmm..to Gloves Donadouche, Obama writing a personal check to a needy American = Bad.
Mittens unloading a wad onto a supporter = Good. 

Got it.

Funny you say that because President Obama has written personal checks to impoverished Americans and most people don’t even know that. Huh, guess your bullshit is just that.

Romney does not even know how to quickly and efficiently wipe his own butt let alone be the man incharge of our country.

you could give me money, does not mean i’ma vote for you.

except for blowjobs under the oval office desk.

That!

Render under Caesar what is Caesar’s yet provide denarii to the peasant people of Rome to keep them in favor

I think Joe the plumber was trying to hit the sheik up for some green at the rope line a few years ago on the campaign trail, we saw the sheiks response.  Sheik obama was very clear, he wasnt giving up anything. He told Joe that he  could expect a check from his friendly neighbors in a redistrubitive way. lol

At least it was HIS money.
Obama would have given her a government check.

A female, black conservative – Liberals must despise her. 

Thanks friend, I appreciate your support.  I feel pretty good about myself for sharing my riches with some poor loser.

Clearly Mitt is a socialist perpetuating the myth that handouts are the American way.

A real republican would have given this guy a job so he could pull himself up by his bootstraps right?

I know. Great observation. 

Does everything have to be so complicated? He gave the woman some cash that probably helped her out a lot, given her circumstances. His campaign organization also paid her power bill earlier in the week. The exchange between Romney and the woman was not caught on camera, but an ABC reporter happened to overhear it, and I guess that’s who interviewed her.

If you want to dislike Romney’s policies or Romney himself, then by all means continue. But, do we hate those that we disagree with that much that we must automatically assume the worst of them in every situation?

And yes, I said “hate”. The left, at base, hates Republicans just like the right hates Democrats. And this is part of the plan by the way. They WANT you to hate each other. They want polarized political discourse. They want you to see each the other side not as holding an opposite viewpoint or even a misguided or ignorant one. They want you to see each other as EVIL. It’s how they gin up fundraising and fire up turnout because they know you’ll be much more passionate about going to war against someone you think has nefarious plans for society as opposed to somebody who simply has different ideas than you. (Of course, they never consider the societal consequences of conditioning at least 20% of the population on one end to hate at least 20% on the other end and vice-versa– the only thing that matters to them is their own political ends.) 

(I could go on at length about how this fact is a function of the existence of political parties themselves, how the Federalist Papers were right that politcal parties promote only fractiousness, how the reason that almost nothing ever gets done is because neither party cares much about much at all beyond winning elections (and they’re always in permanent campaign mode) to the extent that they’ll actually act in opposition to not just what’s good for the public but also even their own avowed policy objectives if it will deny the other party the opportunity to earn favor with voters. And I could tell you my own firm personal conviction is that the best thing that could happen to American politics would be the forced dissolution of ALL political parties.)

Republicans aren’t evil. Democrats aren’t evil. You just have an ideological disagreement about the proper role and size of government. But, that explanation can’t whip the respective bases into nearly as much of a frenzy. It’s much easier to get you to do their bidding if they can convince you that the other side is out to get you.

But, bringing it back to Romney and this woman, if you’re familiar with the old saying “don’t do the right thing for the wrong reasons,”– well, that’s one of the worst pieces of old-time advice that’s been handed down through the generations. Because even if you do the right thing for the wrong reasons, the right thing still got done! And so even if this was just politics for Romney, there’s a woman in South Carolina who now has money for groceries and electricity that she didn’t before. And that’s a good thing.

Try to be open to the possibility that goodness can exist even in those who have sharply divergent viewpoints from yours. If you can come to terms with that notion, then you are far more patriotic and civic-minded then any existent political parties because they want to keep you closed off to that idea so they can exploit it for their own benefit– not for your benefit, not for America’s benefit– for THEIR benefit. Political parties are best though of as living entities or organisms– their overwhelming priorities are self-preservation and domination of other species (parties). Everything else is secondary to them.  

No, everything doesn’t have to be so complicated. Except, long winded comments like yours.  

Alas, this guy is doing everything possible to try and prove to people he is not a wealthy greedy plutocrat.  The American people are for the most part undeducated voters thanks to Fox  but they can sure see a plastic phoney when they see one. When you put him next to the stage against Obama, the Independents will laugh this phoney off.They might or might not agree with all his politics but one thing is that the man is sincere and sticks to his principals.  And besides, did you hear the latest best thing about The Camelion’s tax plan?   http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/05/us-usa-tax-romney-idUSTRE8040A720120105

Thanks for simplifying things with a 7 paragraph post.

You spelt “Stalin” wrong.

It really amazes me how cynical the left has become.  They cannot believe that someone, especially a candidate, would actually make a kind gesture out of the goodness of his heart.  Mitt does not need to buy this woman’s vote…he already had it.  She made that quite plain. 

Yet snarky comments will appear on this story.  Why?  Because they cannot imagine Obama or anyone on the left doing the same thing.  That’s sad.

when his financial records were released in 2008 it came out that the obamas had never given anything to charity evah.

nada, noting, zilch.

when he got rich off the book  -he gave to rev wright – thats it.

cheapbastard with his own money – but obviously not with ours.

its sad that youre not joking.

How cynical…how sad.  Of course, you can’t believe he’d do that because no Democrat would bave been so kind as to give anyone their OWN money out of their OWN pocket.

When did Obama write a personal check to anyone?  A Charity?  How much do you think Romney gives each years to Charities?  I’ll be you $10,000 it’s more than Obama ever gave.

Go back and listen to her…she said Romney introduced her to others, including the Governor, in hope that they could help her find a job.  But it’s really hard for you to swallow that there really are genuine people out there on the campaign trail, but then again, you’re a Democrat and you only speak of what you know and what your own people would do.

Now you are so indoctrinated, you can’t even believe your own people.  Mediaite is a LEFTIST SITE.  They don’t compliment Republicans.  In fact, I was shocked to see the story here.

Again, when and where did Obama write such checks, and why is it we never heard of it?  He doesn’t even pay for his own iceream cones, for heaven sake.

So now Romney carries “government money” in his own pocket?  Interesting…I’d like to know how that’s done.

No, my friend, you can’t believe it because no Democrat would ever make such a decent and kind personal gesture.  The Democrats want to take money from your pocket, mine and the whole nation and redistribute it as THEY see fit. 

Long winded it may be….but accurate.

This man took NO SALARY while Governor or Massachusetts and took NO SALARY while SAVING the Olympics from utter disaster.  Don’t judge him by what you would do.

Still handing out severance pay I see.

“They cannot believe that someone, especially a candidate, would actually make a kind gesture out of the goodness of his heart.”

You’ve just described what it is to be gullible.

Congrats. And thanks for the lecture.

In the future I shall take everything a politician says and does on the campaign trail at face value — but only if he’s a wealthy establishment Republican.

“no more should be made of it”

It was an obvious political gimmick.

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a nice thing to do.

It’s a good metaphor for how Republicans see the world. As long as you chase after them and beg, they’ll be happy to give you a couple bucks.

Good luck paying your heating bill on 60 bucks.

I would have been more impressed if he had used his business contacts to find her a full time job with benefits.

wink

doesn’t he have a lot of business contacts?

Why couldn’t he find her a full time job with benefits instead of demeaning her with the cash he had in his wallet

Dems don’t believe in hand outs.

Dems believe in job training and full time employment with benefits

We the people don’t want rich people’s bread crumbs, thank you very much

we the people don’t need rich people’s bread crumbs

you shock easily

this is the rightwing’s definition of solving problems

throw money at it

if that doesn’t work,

bomb it

Sheiks huh? Did you know that a sheik owns Fox News along with the Murdochs?

We the people demand to see Obama’s check book!

We demand that this tyrant pay for his own ice cream cones!

We really believe we are saying pithy things!

We have lost our minds!

I bet if I stacked up all the government money Romney and Ron Paul has received, and put it next to all the government money an Average American citizen has received…Romney’s and Ron’s would look like a skyscraper next to an ant hill

This is how Republicans solve problems.

Step 1, throw money at it

Step 2, bomb it

and you must believe in fairy tales

i couldn’t get all the way through it.

but it’s always amusing to me how understanding rightwingers can be when one of their own does something…and how outraged they become when someone they don’t like does the same thing

Replace “Romney” with “Obama” and hysterical socialism charges and liberal guilt charges would be inundating rightwing radio and tv right now

you lie he donated to plenty of organizations hbcu for one .. also he donated his entire pulitzer money to charity .. understand the hate but do not lie on him to make yourself sound good.

yes he does last summer there was an article that the president recieves letters everyday fom the public & he reads them sometimes he send them a chk. also for those that stated he has not given any money to donations to chariities should check this out: http://cardonationstaxdeduction.com/president-obama-tax-return-2009-charity-donations/

I’m sorry can you elaborate a little more. Are you a campaign finance lawyer (probably not). So I doubt your a specialist on these matters.

Of course the lady was black.  Why couldn’t she have been a white lady needing a handout?  Always to make blacks look bad.  This was staged.

No, Barry. Better you should find the ulterior, unmentioned motive behind absolutely everything, even if you have to imagine it from whole cloth…as long as it’s not a Democrat.

“He ordered his steak well done because that means more carbon released and he wants to destroy Gaia!!!”

So you couldn’t get throught it, and yet you can confidently call me a “right winger”? Yeah, you didn’t read it. Let me translate it for you into one paragraph. The reason you throw around labels like “right winger” without actually listening to what I’m saying is because you’ve beeen conditioned by our party system to label and then hate those with whom you perceive disagreement. I am not a Republican or a Democrat, so I guess that makes me an Independent, but the best label for me is not bipartisan but “anti-partisan”. I am opposed to all political parties! And I believe the fundamental political divisiveness that permeates the culture of our politics is an inherent feature of the fact that political parties exist, not the fault of any one or more specific parties or individuals. But, whether you are left or right, parties play you for dupes and dopes and convince you to hate those on the other side and that you have no common ground between you. They do this without regards to the social or civil repercussions because it benefits their own self-interest and serves the ONLY objective that truly matters to them: winning elections! If seven paragraphs isn’t too much for you, I explain in slightly more detail why this is true above, although I’ve written much more extensively on the subject in other mediums.

Only a progressive would consider that money saved.

This is not campaign financing.

Tell it to the Food Stamp President.

He’s never gotten a Pulitzer and he had no option to keep the Nobel Prize money. Presidents can’t keep that sort of thing. It belongs to the country.

Do not lie, right? 

Obama is a rightwinger? I did not know that.

How much would you like to bet, Barry?

Nobel Prize money wasn’t his to keep. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/5/usc_sec_05_00007342—-000-.html

Thanks Pablo, you are right!  I guess I just assumed it would be. What does it actually qualify under?

The problem is when democrats “help” someone, they do it with someone else’s money.

Wow..you just described the Obama Administration!

Step 1, We need to raise the debt limit by another $1.2 TRILLION

Step 2, Libya

What utter nonsense.

Geez, Barry, you sound like a Republican.  You and Newt should change parties!

Everything a politician says?  Whoever said that?  But you clearly can’t accept a decent gesture when you see one.  I suppose that’s because you’re a Democrat and that’s how most of you think.

Well, good…I’m glad to hear it.   And I’m sure Romney gives as much or more.

I was good until the scream after “serial killer,” then I lost it.

She’s got $50-$60.
Problem solved.

He treated her like a street beggar and moved on.

Google is people my friend.

As for why you have never heard of it.
Perhaps because the sites or news stations you frequent turn someone buying him an ice cream into him being a mooch.

And her I thought you HATED the man

Sheikh is an honorific in the Arabic language that literally means “elder” and carries the meaning “leader and/or governor”

Duh.

War.

Fewer and easing of gun laws.
No gay marriage.

The list goes on.  He is a better republican than Mitt Romney.

Well nice to see you again, LEFTY.

But can’t be bothered to find out?

Biggest Lie today.

If you could though, I would LOVE a link to your information.
I could use a good laugh.

BREAKING NEWS
Mitt Romney is a SERIAL KILLER!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/15/colbert-super-pac-release_n_1207318.html

Compare this to Ron Paul delivering a woman turned back by every other gynecologist on account of her black husband… when no one was looking… and not in the midst of a presidential campaign.

You let Ron Paul retire in 2012 at your own peril

“We’ve all done something like that”
Liar.

Two recent tweets from Andy Borowitz:
‘Sign of Romney’s growing confidence: At rally today he throws $10,000 at crowd and shouts, “Make it rain, bitchaz!”‘

Romney: “Our economy needs the tools to recover, and no one is a bigger tool than I am.” 

But the best one was from Iowa –  

Romney: “What is it you people want from me, anyway? If it’s money, I” give you money.”

$50? Shoe Shine Money.

That sums up Romneys economic plan for the poor and unemployed- wait on the largesse of the 1% to throw you a crumb.

But if you’re going for accuracy, you’re still wrong & quite arguably way more of a liar.

You’re correct that Obama did not win a Pulizter.  
You’re correct that Obama DID win a Nobel Peace Prize.
You’re WRONG that Obama could not keep the money prize of the equivalent of $1.4m U.S. – the prized didn’t go to “The American Presidency”, it went to Barack Hussein Obama.  

Now, if you were correct that “it belongs the country”, then Obama would not have been legally allowed to give his total prize money away to ten charities, would he?  

But that’s what he did:

Hmmm … kinda makes Willard Mittens Rmoney’s giving this woman the pin money in his pocket look kind of cheap, yes no? And if it was a set-up, then that would make him a cheap douche, yes no?  

Oui oui.

I’ll tell you where Willard Mittens Rmoney makes his “charitable” donations: to the Mormon church, that’s where – not even in accordance with the tenets of that church, which asks for tithing.

Just another reason why he’s not releasing his tax returns.

To the Mormon church no doubt, if at all.

Look: this is entirely in the control of Willard Mittens Rmoney – all he has to do is release his tax returns, just like EVERY OTHER SERIOUS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE since WWII. 

No, Mediaite is a mainstreammedia comment site, with a decidedly msm bias, which is neither Right nor Left. But if it’s unearned fauning praise for winger pols you’re after, there are quite literally hundreds of winger websites that provide that. And they’re easily enough found – just go online to Drudge, scroll down towards the bottom of the page where it reads “Blogroll”, and roll roll roll your desperate need for approval to your empathy-deprived right brain’s content. 

The Giant Spaghetti Monster In The Sky is playing Tebow as an activist hedge fund, settin’ up the rubes. God Inc. Religiotic Atheletes Inc. (A Delaware Corporation, operating out the Bahamas) made out like a bandit yesterday. Thanks, SUCKERS! See y’all later, SUCKERS!

Problem? 9% national unemployment, millions out of work, tens of millions below the poverty line & inadequate social assistance.

1. Given some woman you vaguely know 50-60 bucks.
2. $%! 
3. Solved!

… but usually not in that order.

… and often both.

In fairness, he’s running out front in a race of douches.

Campaign Slogan: Dr.Ron Paul, a man who will care for your concave bits in convex times.

Of course.  Duh…

Well, I’ve made my point.  I just like to pay the correct respects to our current occupier of the white house (OWH).

Mitt Romney will lose to Sheik Obama.  Independents will reannoint the apostate with little contest.  Axlerod has hit it on the head, has defined Mitt Romney as a financial strip miner of our nations industries whilst the sheik saved companies with his bailouts etc…

That funny.
Thanks

actually,  they gave her a job at the campaign office, paid her light bill, she has her self respect because its not just a handout.  The campaign office can now be a job reference for her.  There is much more going on in this story then just someone handing her some money.

No, she was given a job at the campaign office until she could find a more permanant job of her own and they paid her light bill.  She has her self respect and clearly gratitude.

It wasnt an R vs D comment. I just think everything Mitt does is planned and staged. He doesnt have an original type thought in his head. I wouldnt care who this was in the race- I would think it was staged. Cynical vs politics–I think cynical fits the bill perfectly and none better than the robot himself.

Well I am glad to see you show so much respect for YOUR President.

our current occupier of the white house (OWH).

President.

High Five!

Genuine people who just happen to get the call from God in time for the cameras and complete with God telling her to follow the bus.
In South Carolina no less.

Pablo you are an EXTREMELY intelligent person.  It is a shame to see you shill.

Ive been saying that for a while.
Barry (or your term for our President) is WAAAAY Republican.
Gun owners have more rights.
Record numbers of deportation.
Fat Cats are reaping in the dough.
Killed more dangerous people than Bush in less than half the time.

Heck, if you throw in taxes, he’s FARTHER RIGHT than Reagan.

If she’s panhandling for money, then how should she be treated? She wanted a few bucks and he gave it to her. Problem solved.

buying votes…?
or he could be jesus—but he is not a real christian..
maybe he just gives money all of the time? oh ya–not that either..
so if he has not done it before–why now?

hmmm–good question..

It’s a nice way of saying two things.
Firts, Look I’m a nice guy
Second, Take the money, shut-up and go away.

AND — It’s cheaper than a decent paying job.
Whda ya think he was doin?

I liked your posts J- and I agree with you to a point.

I think the Left is very conditioned to hate in our society right now.  And they can live a normal life within the confines of their own hate.

I know there are frothing-at-the-mouth Righties who hate as well, but the norm for the Right- at least in Deep Blue Boston is so different. 

I was at a Christmas Corporate dinner last month and a manager’s wife turned to a husband of one of the workers (who was in the Marines and is pro gun) and said “you are a Republican?  Now I have to hate you” – she was dead serious. 

I think the major reason for this is that people on the Right get used to the people they watch on TV or listen to on the radio bash their beliefs- so they tend to be a little less hateful when confronted by a school-of-thought that is outside of what they know. 

Another anecdotal story- Back when Schilling helped the Red Sox break the “Curse of the Bambino” I gave my younger brother, a hard core union guy, a Curt Schilling shirt.  When Curt later backed Bush for reelection my brother told me he burned the shirt.  Oh, and my brother works in Hollywood- where a huge chunk of the people he works with support Liberals.  The idea that someone supporting Bush was so out-of-bounds for him he responded with crazed hate. 

I suspect it may be different in a Deep Red state, but even then I would wager the national entertainment media is a constant dose of Left Wing thought that they build an immunity to the gut-reaction hate that many of the Left seem to have. 

Also, I think there are the Ron Paul type Independents that are very filled with hate.  I have a few friends that are hard core Paul supporters and they are like shrieking harpies when confronted by a Leftest or Right (“Neocon!”) idea.

Kindness, it would seem.

Wrong. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/5/usc_sec_05_00007342—-000-.html

Romney likely knew he had fired all her relatives in the past.

On a % basis? I will take that bet..$10 bet?

I would expect Romney to give more. He’s net worth is 25X that of Obama!

PS: Obama gave 14% of his income to charity in 2010. I believe he made about 1.5 million dollars that year.

Probably true, but not for long.  Obama with speaking fees and books will end up a Billionaire in a few years.

Good for you….just stop stealing mine…..Porkchop.

Yeah…pitiful…isn’t it?
Kinda like a COLA raise after getting none for 3 years….or a $250 check for your vote.

Haile Selassie used ti hand out cash from an open air Limo while driving through the streets in Ethiopia.  Is Mitt taking a cue from the Lion?

So, it’s come to this?  F*** You America.  OCCUPY EVERYWHERE!!!

 So true and the most delicious part about it is that these idiot right wingers keep going on and on about “firing” him in November. He’ll get an 10x or more increase in salary,  a 99.99% decrease in the stress level and the icing on the cake is he’ll have a president in  Miitens who’ll make sure that he (Obama) and the other 1% pays little or no taxes. What a terrible fate awaits Obama should he lose in Nov !

What a long post. You’re wrong about republicans, though. Their “I’ve got mine, screw you” mantra and their relentless favoring of their true constituents, the rich and the powerful 1%, over their actual constituents, the suffering and downtrodden 99%, certainly qualifies them as evil. Go ahead and write 25 more paragraphs. You won’t change my mind on this point.

You apparently have come down with logorrhea. Why use 10 words to make your point when you have time to write 1000? Are you truly self-important and arrogant enough to believe that people would actually READ long-winded drivel like yours? You don’t know much about yourself or other people if you are.

The arrogance of this act, plus the clueless, out-of-touch comments here from goofball right-wing dopes, gives me hope that this emptiest of empty suits will get nowhere near the White House.

That applies to republicans in general.

A millionaire 10 times over and not taking a salary as Governor of Massachusetts and running the Olympics. Wow, that is very noble and admirable of him.

You do know Romney’s worth at least twenty times that of Obama’s, right?  But, Romney is also a notorious cheapskate and times his kids showers.  I doubt he repays the staffer who actually lent the woman the money.

It’s tough keeping up with the extra half trillion dollars Bush added to the deficit annually.

So it’s demeaning for a presidential candidate to hand some cash to a lady who needs it. Instead, he should have found her a job!  How completely irrational.  How much would YOU have given her, Barry?
