GOOD AFTERNOON FROM DAILY EVENTS!

Yet again, Mitt Romney is on the defense, thanks to the lamestream media for comments that shouldn’t be worth talking about. Good for Romney for not backing down from them. He certainly could have said them better, but the point is well taken. Look for analysis from John Gizzi and David Harsanyi throughout the day.

Have a good Tuesday,

– Adam Tragone, Managing Editor

I once toured a factory such as mentioned here, when i asked about their sight after a few years (very tight eye work going on at the time) the manager said ‘oh there’s plenty of new young people with better eyes’ (oh OK, and who cares about the ones sitting right here), & oh yes and how about those young men sniffing glue in another room because that’s how panels are put on this type of furniture, sniffing it all day, a glue that made me ill in 10 minutes, ah there’s more of them too apparently, – it’s a mindset that’s hard to comprehend. And those same young people would go to the next factory and work under worst conditions for a penny or two more per hour. Human rights? not in a Chinese factory, though many of these kids are pleased to just be treated decent (not hit) and fed and housed. It’s a whole different world…

Is Romney creepy for supporting it, as much as any other factory owner there and none of them see themselves as running sweat shops really..it’s bizarre. (answer: yes it’s creepy and disgusting)

What’s more astounding is that

1. A large portion of the Republican base agrees with Mitt Romney on his 47% comments. I’m guessing these are the same “keep your gub’ment hands off my Medicare” bunch.

2. This sweatshop story isn’t receiving more traction yet. There’s absolutely no moral concern here from Romney whatsoever.

This is Gilded Age stuff here. The factory owner admiring the child’s hands that can so nimbly reach between the gears.

Yeah, Hallie, I read that too and I also felt that those comments were much more offensive than the “47%” thing.

We already knew he didn’t care about the underclass (and middle class apparently) but gloating about your sweatshops?
