It won't buy them 1 single vote anywhere.
In fact, it will probably cost them votes but what they want isn't votes, because they already sense they are losing, so much as a reason to hate.

How do we know WTF he did and didn't do when he pulled people over?
Are we going to take his word for it that it was a joke or harmless prank...which it wasn't? Or maybe he performed strip-searches or worse...who would know? This was a long time ago and when women complained about weirdness, they were largely ignored by TPTB, particularly if it potentially involved a moneyed or connected person. This should be fully investigated and researched, and I would bet ten thousand dollars that he bragged about doing something grotesque - he's a real creepazoid.
A lot of Ewe Toos make an appearance. So much the better to egg-on the True Believers into making public, self-discrediting fools of themselves.

1. Good point
Years go by before some serial killers are caught.
Years have gone by before Rmoney's weird hobby came to light. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Rmoney?

They love sociopaths.

4. Sounds like an authoritarian complex
Probably induced by his Mormon upbringing convincing him it's alright for him to impersonate a police officer because he is morally superior.

6. Holding someone against their will is kidnapping last I checked.
But you're right. WTF else did he do to get his jollies. I does need to be investigated.
Yes, by all means, have Eric Holder announce criminal charges.

8. Very Little Return Here...
Yet another story showing something we've all known...Mittens was a spoiled brat and an asshole. This is great stuff...more ammo for those who hate this liar and opportunist but does little for those looking for a reason to vote against him. Those on the right...no matter how hypocritical they were during the primaries are now lined up behind their "Great White Hope"...not cause they like him, just they can't stand the colored fella. This gains little traction with the "moderates" as well as those who believe in the "both sides do it" crap just see this as more political piling on...it's Rmoney's current not his past that they're voting on...

11. A friend of mine knows the ins and outs of Ann Romney, because of her political connections
as an ex-lobbyist. She told me yesterday that Ann Romney DID NOT WANT HIM TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
She is a sick woman, and MS is aggravated by over-exertions, etc. And he still wants to run. This is a very selfish, self-centered person who only thinks of himself.
If this one percolates up someone will ask Mrs Romney and she'll say it's absurd...
...and then will come the cries, "She said that because Mormons keep women as chattel!"

12. Probably the only way he could get a girl to speak to him.
Unless he showed them Daddy's offshore bank statement.

14. I'll bet you $10,000 you are correct.
Unfortunately, spoiled psycho crony capitalist nutjobs are just what the Reich needs. Those who won't be their toady or victim, I fear, will increasingly be "pulled over."

15. When I get stopped by a highway patrol, it becomes a tense time for me
I don't know about others, but getting pulled over ain't fun.
I assume the officer has a gun and any odd movement on my part should result in bad things happening.
So when I hear of some jerk doing shit like this it really makes me mad.
Plus, if I were a cop, I would be really mad. Impersonators erode the trust that people do have in the police.
Not funny, Weird Willard, not funny at all.
Is it because your car smells like burning rope and peanut butter mixed with rancid shrimp from cruising bars in San Francisco?
This story has morphed from a 15 year old Romney walking up on a parked car to him apparently having a complete uniform along with car and flashing lights.
Give it a month and he will have tased someone.

22. Wait... wasn't this a screenplay for a boom-chick-a-rarrrrer type movie?
Romney "film-staring" role (insert favorite John Holmes type here... sorry for the pun) who swings one of his legs over his Harley with ticket in hand. Square jawed Romney character in uniform, stopping rural young women from late 60's and 70's (liberated, of course, insert some "film-star" with first name, "Amber"...)
What a portfolio!

23. Unless he was delivering stripograms I think he broke the law.
Well, the real law which of course does not apply to the elite.

24. True. Maybe now he's trying to impersonate a President.
Unlike the current president who impersonates an American.

26. calling it "weirdness" or "creepy" depletes the reality that it was both criminal and cruel
1. It is illegal to impersonate a cop, period.
2. He had zero idea what their lives are and what kind of head trip he may be pulling on them. Zero idea as to the level of fear he was potentially instilling for his own laughs and giggles.
3. He also had zero idea where they were headed...causing an unnecessary delay to reach an emergency room?
Vile, vile person. This does need to be investigated.
Not 1 person--not 1--stopped by to say, "We're going to look like idiots for pushing this.
