These people were seized by security guards and forced out of the building. This is what it means for Mitt Romney to be campaigning as a corporate leader. Romney only wants Yes Men around him. Dare to question Romney’s wisdom in his presence, and you’ll be taken away to somewhere far away, where Romney won’t have to be confronted with your uncomfortable dissent any more.

Just 3 corporate donations equal the amount of the entire financial income of 49.25 Iowa households making the median income. Of course, these households can’t spare much of anything at all, much less their entire incomes, just to help set up a mechanism for funneling money to the benefit of the Mitt Romney for President campaign.

The Director of the Iowa Democratic Party, Norm Sterzenbach, seemed to think that liberal dissent against the Democratic Party, and not the creation of extreme unconstitutional powers of imprisonment, was the problem. Do they really not understand that Democratic voters are leaving the Democratic Party because Obama and the congressional Democrats are repeating the terrible mistakes of George W. Bush?
