Why didn't Romney just donate blood today to Red Cross?

[grasswire]

That would have made a statement of selfless generosity. Great photo-op.

1. It may be against his cult I mean religion.....

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I think that's the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Mormons are more into donating other people's blood, like Willard did during Vietnam.

Maybe he ordered all his servants to get drained.

16. Many of the LDS are great donors. I'd be willing to bet RobMe never has.

I've done a few blood drives at LDS churches or other facilities. We get a good turnout.

[Angry Dragon]

2. You would expect Willard to give something of himself to someone without making them pay for it??

[hollysmom]

3. Not against his religion, he just donesn't have to

not a peon. Apparently some people will be cultivated to be blood donors in his future.

[MichiganVote]

4. He only takes it. From everyone but his 1% base.

[brewens]

6. He was at there disaster relief center I think. The chapters are totally separate from the blood

service. I was a blood bank tech for them. It still would look good for Romney to donate though. mormons are good donors, I've done blood drives at LDS churches.

With the ARC, they asked for volunteers to go work during Katrina. I mean volunteering to go there as paid staff. I did but my bosses wouldn't let me go. That would have required a staff member from Boise traveling to Lewiston, ID where I worked and staying in a motel to cover for me. Too much expense and hassle just so I could go on an adventure, which was really the point. Not that I wouldn't have worked hard and felt good about helping out.

7. Are you kidding?

[brewens]

9. I said before he reminds me of Christopher Lee that played Dracula

in those Hammer Films. That one nails it. Someone could photoshop one of the actual Lee stills and really get it right.

15. +100 Blood drives screen for vampires

8. In honor of Rmoney's stupidity - I scheduled a blood donation tomorrow morning.

It's been years since I donated, but going to a local blood bank tomorrow and direct the blood to be sent for Hurricane Sandy survivors.

[brewens]

12. One thing about that. You probably can't direct your donation like that. It's good

to donate but I would suspect Sandy hasn't cause a huge need for transfusions to the survivors. What might happen is your donation will help ensure availability of blood in general.

The real problem is probably that all the blood drives in that region were canceled. All the elective surgeries that would have required blood were also canceled though. It might be a push. Your blood center probably exports in some situations to where there are shortages. In any case it sure won't hurt. Well maybe just a little.

[Honeycombe8]

10. I think so, too. But his blood can't be mixed with the little people's blood...then they would have

Romney's blue blood in them!

But seriously, that thought probably didn't occur to them. "Selfless" isn't in his vocabulary. So they came up with a bus of canned food.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. ...and know some commoner would have his blood in their veins?

Not a chance.

[catbyte]

13. He probably thinks his blood is blue. Or it's transmission fluid.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Bloodsuckers don't donate blood

[jenw2]

18. He probably can't

To be fair, and I hate being fair to his kind, most rich people in this country cannot donate. I worked in a blood bank in Bellevue, WA (like the Beverly Hills of WA) for a short time, and most of the men that tried to donate couldn't because they had either hired prostitutes or ate the meat of a cow in Europe when companies were feeding cow brains to cows to cause BSE. Very few of the disgusting men in that place could donate. People forget just how much red meat the rich eat from here eat while traveling in Europe.

19. Bots don't have blood.

[Cha]

20. HA! romney sucks blood ..he doesn't give.
