THE UNKNOWN HERO

Last edited Wed Nov 7, 2012, 03:09 PM - Edit history (1)

We will never be able to repay the courage of the unknown hero, he or she who potentially risked his/her employment in order to capture RMoney's famous 47% speech to his wealthy contributors. In a race as close as this one, I for one have no doubt that this one act of courage may have well been the one thing to bring home to the low-information voters and the apathetic public at large the REAL Mitt Romney. His own words validated in a way no others could our contention that the 'public Romney' was a fiction, an entirely different person than the 'real Romney'. Thanks to that video, people could see the real Romney with their own eyes and ears, and began to believe what we had been saying about him for months. Hats off to that great person, whoever you are!

who caught this RobMe statement on videotape.

This RobMe quote was an astounding revelation that most of us already knew was the truth of his values . HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!!!! Did it ever RESONATE PROFOUNDLY in our hearts, souls and brains when it AMAZINGLY, CAME FROM THE ACTUAL MOUTH OF ROBME!!!!! HOW PROFOUND CAN IT GET!!!!????

It had an incalculable effect...

Why quibble about specific numbers of how many people it might have effected to change their vote. ROBME said it. We all heard it.

Why does a person say anything? Why?

I think Ralph Waldo Emerson had the right answer when he once said,

"That which is impressed is expressed."

I guess ol' ROBME was impressed with that thought, so he expressed the the truth of his heart since he was safely among his own kind....the 1% types.

But the hidden camera caught his true heart and his true moment....which superseded all the power of his freaking lies.

PERFECT! The truth shall set you free and it did just that for the electorate.

No matter what and how and when....they guy (President Carter's grandson?????) deserves a place in heaven for his courageous act!
