This man is disgusting.

And now about election day. He just talked about how he won't talk about it.

And he's smacking his lips again.

like he's ever done this before. You're right, he's poliicizing it, since the only reason he's doing it is because he's running.

The president is going to Walter Reed to visit with the disabled vets... No press allowed.

Romney is a scumbag who cares about nothing but his wallet.

On edit:
"We need a military so strong no one will challenge it". Why didn't anyone ever think of that before? Hahahaha

I love how he introduced that section by saying something along the lines of "on any other day, I'd spell out for you the differences between my opponent and I on these important policy issues, but this is not the right time and place for that."

Then he proceeded to give his basic stump speech anyway.
