Big Expense of Covering Romney Campaign Questioned by Billed Media Outlets

One campaign aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the bills were not artificially inflated, but rather the product of a generally mismanaged campaign. The aide said the advance team — which was tasked with arranging meals and accommodations for the press — failed to communicate with other elements of the campaign and consistently spent more money than necessary.

News Outlets Battle Romney Campaign Over Expenses

Romney is trying to bill them for $800.00 meals. Hilarious is they say it was the "Romney staff" who actually ate the meals.

Just one example of the overbilling. Now we know what a "fiscal conservative" looks like.

Like I said, we dodged a bullet.
 
This, from the party of Solyndra.

Irony is a gross understatement. :lol:

You mean Bush's Solyndra. A lot of right wing investors got hosed. That's what they got from listening to Bush. Just one of the many fiascoes started under Bush and the Republicans.

YEA these same media types donated their time and money to who they called a "God"!

1) "MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign,
according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission.
Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes.
Only 17 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties."

2) Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Editor of NewsWeek, Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,

But then when it comes to Obama???

I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

You didn't list Fox. Ironically, the only ones I heard call him a God were from Fox.

The taxpayers got hosed, and it was all Obama's Solyndra, moron.
 
Come on..this is shocking? We're talking about the same Romney campaign that cut off his staffers credit cards before they could even get home on Election Night. The guy was a world class douche that will NEVER BE PRESIDENT. :lol:

You sit in front of the Internet. Do a little research. Try "Google". If you don't know how to use it, let me know and I will send instructions.
