Romney bought $5k of food for people to “donate” back at “hurricane” rally

All staged for a photo op. How fake can you get? How can Romney supporters condone this?

Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, “What if we dropped off our donations up front?”The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. “Just grab something,” he said.

$5,000 to WalMart instead of a local mom and pop operation.

I hate this fucking man more every day.
