So you are saying it was ok if Romney flew his own people in to bolster the reaction to his speech??

Romney received TWO standing ovations during the speech. Watch the video, so are we to assume the Romney camp flew in the entire crowd?
Also wasnt it hillary Shelton that said black people dont have savings accounts and and arent entrepenuers; sounds pretty racist.

Oh you still believe in the “trickle down effect”. Republicans do not care about the poor taking care of themselves, if they really cared then why are they fighting the minimum wage increases. They do not want to offer medical coverage to their workers and forget about pensions. They believe in outsourcing jobs. So how have they helped the average worker? Where are the effects of the millions in tax cuts, is the money still making its way down the 99%?

When I first saw the video of Romney at the NAACP convention, my first impression was that he was not even speaking to the crowd. He had his set speech that he wanted to make and he did not attempt to engage the crowd. I do not even think that he made eye-contact with anyone. I believe that Romney was really talking to his “base”. He was sending a message that he was going to stand his ground with Blacks and not bend to any of their issues.

Um, no. Just no. Obama has a jobs bill that Republicans refused to vote on, so he broke it into little pieces and still they refused. It was only after much pressure that they finally voted yes on Obama’s veterans jobs bill, but the rest of America was left hung out to dry.

Name a jobs bill introduced by a Republican. Name one. There aren’t any. CBS just called them out for wasting 50 million dollars showboating with ObamaCare and still not proposing one single jobs bill.

If you really paid attention, you would know the folly of your words, for Republicans do not believe we need jobs, they think more tax cuts for the rich will create jobs, and so that is their effort re jobs, e.g., the 20% cut in marginal tax rates proposed by Romney for “jobs”
