Mitt Romney left his staffers high and dry the minute he found he lost. Staffers nationwide were in restaurants or getting a cab to head home after working hard campaigning for HIM only to find they were stranded and good ole Willard Mitt Romney gave orders to cancel all credit cards of staffers....Some were stranded without funds to get to where they were going...

Wake up America--IF this man treated his staffers this way---God only knows how he would have treated the American people if he made it into office. So disingenious, those supporters and staffers campaigning for him worked hard and this is how you repay them Mitt?? Wow....

How long did you expect them to continue using a credit card of a campaign that was over? Why would people GOING HOME, do so at a campaigns expense? ITS JOB.. Can you use your companies credit card to charge rides home? I sure as hell cant, and I own my own company.

I also notice that a lot of the right wing posters who were spewing the party line on C-D here 24/7 also disappeared shortly after the election, never to be seen again. I guess the internet superpac money dried up also. Albeit, the ones that are left are our regulars and fit like a nice pair of bedroom slippers in their predictable opposition but for a while there, we had a real boiler room full of professional internet pundits who were father right than Atilla. Comments of our president like "scumbag" and "turd" were bandied about like popcorn at the movies. I can deal with and actually have an affinity with our usual loyal opposition but some of the others......not so much. I even got so hot I got banned for a while. But in the end, I'm still here and he's gone for good. At least until the next election.

You do not leave them stranded like that. It is sheer common sense. Would u be ok if u were travelling for ur boss and he up and left u high and dry in another city? That shows a lack of character and humanity. You give a cutoff time so people can at least get back to their home city. I guess ur a sh°¢€° boss.

EVERYONE knew on the campaign, that at 7:45 the campaign was OVER.. If you need a ride home in a taxi, YOU PAY FOR IT.. Where the hell do you work that your boss pays for your rides back and forth to work?

There was no indication that people were left high and dry in other cities!!!

Oh yes for business travel we are covered to and from our destinations at ALL times...that is what you do in business and you should know that. You are responsible for those under your umbrella. There should be a clause that after midnight the NEXT day all funds from Romney campaigns will cease. McCain didnt do that to his staffers, he made sure they were accomodated for to and from destinations...thats class and decency, Mitt probably realized perhaps he couldn't right off the expednditures after losing so terribly to the PResident...

Romney has no decent morals to pull something like that. His staffers had to go home at wee hours of the night because the sorry loser refused to concede at first. So YES he should have kept their accounts open and make sure they returned home safely.

Successful corperations do that all the time. I dont disclose what I do on here but oh yes we all have cards given to us for circumstances like this with high limits for certain expenditures, as you said it is a JOB, he paid their way to get there to help him, he NEEDs to pay for them to get back.

I am very close to an Obama hired official and they do not operate like that. There are very strict rules when you are hired by the campaign, but there is no rule that after the loss you or on your own. I will tell you this and I said this months ago, they way the Obama camp operated on the ground was unprecendeted, i witnessed it...

Romney is a sorry a### thats why he didnt get into the White House AGAIN...Mitt is part of that 47%..he is now a victim and lost.... he begged and lied and groveled to get into the White House and was never let in....how funny karma comes back to bite you when you mistreat people...

I will hold my comments until I hear "the rest of the story." I think people should get all of the details before making negative comments.

When you are on business travels, they buy TWO WAY TICKETS, they would not have bought 1 way tickets.

The list you gave in the OP said TAXI RIDES, not plane tickets. I sat in campaign offices where EVERYONE KNEW at 7:45 the clock stops and EVERYTHING was done..

I've never ONCE heard of a company that paid their employees to go back and forth to work. Give it a break with your fake outrage...

Then you obviously didn't read the article where it says some were left stranded in strange cities.

Great observation!! That is true...i even heard one call the President Butt Wipe in cheif...I havent seen him around since the President was re elected.

Oh the mockery I received when I told them the President would win again...I saw it coming a mile away, but they didnt want to believe it because they held on to their right broken wing rhetoric
