Empathy, Mittstyle

Mitt Romney Can't Even Donate to Disaster Relief Truthfully

Posted by on Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 1:14 PM

So the Romney campaign allegedly bought $5,000 worth of food and supplies at Walmart to give to Romney supporters to "donate" to the campaign for a photo op:
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.
Two teenage boys retrieved a jar of peanut butter each, and got in line. When it was their turn, they handed their “donations” to Romney. He took them, smiled, and offered an earnest “Thank you.”
The Red Cross accepted the Romney campaign's donation, but they politely pointed out that donating goods is not the best way to help with disaster relief; they prefer donations of money or blood.
