What Is Wrong With This Romney Photo Op?

ANSWER:

The teapublicans yell TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK! If only they weren’t so ignorant they would realize what that would really mean… The Corporatehood (with Romney and the other super rich at the helm) would force them to live under a Totalitarian Plutocracy.
When I saw those hard working men still stained with the soot of their backbreaking labor, I thought… something is wrong with this picture. I was right something was wrong with the picture; these poor miners already know how it feels to live under tyranny. Being forced by their wealthy bosses to stand in back of a well-heeled, arrogant blaggard, and pretend to admire him. Absolutely disturbing and quite alarming! Not to mention SICKENING!

EXCERPT: WASHINGTON -- Employees of a major coal industry donor to Republican causes have raised complaints about their participation in an event earlier this month organized for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the crucial swing state of Ohio.

Several miners at Murray Energy’s Century coal mine in Beallsville, Ohio, contacted a nearby morning talk radio host, David Blomquist, over the last two weeks to say that they were forced to attend an Aug. 14 rally for Romney at the mine. Murray closed the mine the day of the rally, saying it was necessary for security and safety, then docked miners the day's pay. Asked by WWVA radio’s Blomquist about the allegations on Monday’s show, Murray chief operating officer Robert Moore said: “Attendance was mandatory but no one was forced to attend the event.”
