No I didnt read the article, because I sat in on the campaign meeting and knew people who traveled for it. THEY ALL KNEW 7:45 their time, everything was done, and those who did travel, got tickets in advance.

The OP was moaning about TAXI RIDES HOME..

You'd think they'd be able to list ONE person stranded in another city.

The list you gave in the OP said TAXI RIDES..

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...
Uh when i travel abroad or domestically--EVERYTHING is paid for pertaining to the reason for my travel. You must submit recipts and such, but yes cab fare, dinners, I can't go to Sax 5th ave and put on their tab of course, but yes their are occupations that this exists. So you think Romney had his staffers pay for southwest airline tickets to go help him in Ohio??? Your argument doesnt even make sense. So they were good enough to be used when he had them fly between Ohio and PA and then the retard loses and left them stranded...if you agree with him than you have the same amount of class....

Not only that hired staffers do not get paid well. So your FAKE argument is egregious.....

Would of been entertaining if at 7:46 pm each staffer received a personalized phone call from a bellowing Donald Trump telling them "You're fired!" NBC could of taped it and turn it into a prime time special. Leave everyone with some warm fuzzies.

What the hell are you talking about? Whats "hired staffers" not getting paid well, have to do with the thread? Who said they were?

As for Romneys staffers in Ohio, they DROVE in. From NC, and DC.. They needed vehicles every single day. I worked side by side with them.. I didnt know ONE person who was stranded by airfare..

Why didnt they list someone stranded?

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..

Reminds me of that fake story about how the building tipped over when everybody rushed to get a look at Air Force One.

If he paid for them to get were they are, why should'nt he pay to get them home? That is just wrong on so many levels
Only if it is true, but it is sooooo believable

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.
Could be that they agreed not to post for a certain amount of time if their candidate lost.
