The new JOBS bill ?
 
"eWitt, Mich. — The protesters popping up at Mitt Romney's rallies throughout Michigan Tuesday look like run-of-the-mill grassroots liberals — they wave signs about "the 99 percent," they chant about the Republican's greed, and they describe themselves as a loosely organized coalition of "concerned citizens."

They're also getting paid, two of the protesters and an Obama campaign official told BuzzFeed.

At the candidate's afternoon stop outside a bakery in DeWitt, a group of about 15 protesters stood behind a police barricade, a few of them chanting in support of Obama. Asked why he was protesting, a man dressed in a grim reaper costume pointed a reporter to a pair of "designated representatives" standing in the shade.

"I can't talk, you gotta get one of those people over there to talk to y'all," he said. "They're the ones who can talk to reporters."

Neither of the representatives agreed to give their names, but two protesters said they were getting paid to stand outside of the rally, though their wage is unclear: one said she was getting $7.25 per hour, while another man said they were being paid $17 per hour. "

Ok...we have one person who agrees with paying hecklers...any more up-standing Americans ?

Oh, and Romney was in the "big leagues" saving the Olympic games and serving as Governor while Obama was a young man serving in the Illinois senate, so think maybe he understands better than....well, he understands.

By the way, I thought the link was funny, but glad you had the nerve to support the paying of hecklers....

Listen you already voiced your approval for those antics...no need to reinforce.

Also, two other things......in reading this post where you just realized what I meant, my question would be what was your initial response to ??

Secondly, as I said this was posted in humor but never ever thought would get at least two folks to find the practice to be something good !!!

You just never know

The humorous part is that this happened in Michigan where Mitt Romney said "Let Detroit go bankrupt". Seems like there would be thousands of people volunteering to heckle Romney for free.

Guest 06-19-2012 07:34 PM

Come November a lot of Repubs are gonna be out of a job - they'll need a jobs bill.

Very smart of Willard to campaign in Michigan - where he has no chance of winning.

Even Rasmussen has Obama up by 8 in MI.

Guest 06-19-2012 08:53 PM

Maybe Romney should start digging in his own deep pockets (from the Cayman Islands?) and paying some Republicans to hang out at Obama campaign stops. He will be doing some good.

Want to place any bets that the Republicans have not done the same thing somewhere at some time?

Mitt Romney's "Every Town Counts Tour" skips town battered by Bain Capital.
Romney did not stop in Freeport, IL where Bain Capital-owned "Sensata is moving forward with the process of relocating jobs from operations in Freeport to China".

Romney's tour should be renamed "Some Towns Count".
