 Will this vacation snap harm Romney's image?



Uhm, yeah .... that really pisses me off.  A nice family enjoying a little bit of free time on the water .... together.  Not like Michelle running off to Spain while Hubby runs off to play golf somewhere. 

Dammit, they got us, this election is in the bag for O'bama.

3. Overloaded boat? No parents in PFDs? Speeding in shallow water too close to shore?

Boating Responsibility Fail.

Yup

Not overloaded, "speeding" next to the shore is subjective, DUmbass, and you don't HAVE to wear a PFD as an adult. It just has to be on the boat, you ****ing retard.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

In reference to the boating picture.

29. After 10 years of daily DU I finally have to comment

I've been an avid lurker for a decade, though holding a public and high profile position I've abstained from ever signing up here.

The responses to this picture are sad at best. And for people here to blatantly just make up crap is laughable. (I'll preface this by saying that I hate Romney and everything he stands for and will proudly be pulling the lever for The Pres.

My husband is a Coastie officer and we both teach a free boat safety class at the local VFW and without a doubt, children riding in a BOWRIDER is safe, fun and encouraged. The boat is designed wih seats up front for that very reason. Riding on a bow is dangerous and illegal, but this is clearly a BOWRIDER.

People on here have such visceral feelings that they see a picture, know nothing about boating and automatically just start spouting off bullshit.

The biggest manchurian candidate in our countries history is running against us and we resort to making up bullshit on a family photo op. that is sad  Reply to this post

30. After 10 years of lurking here, I would

have thought you might have found something more profound to comment on for the first time. I am sure you know more about boating than I do but there just seem to be too many little people on that boat to be safe...too many little people and two few adults. I live on a lake and I can tell you first hand that these damn high powered boats ruin things for everybody...people and wildlife. If this was a picture of Obama there would be hell to pay.

Raven knows how many adults should be on the boat!   :-)

34. Yes

A thread where my side of the isle just blatantly starts making up BS is the perfect time.

Are people really so stuck on stupid that a family on a boat causes them to just start spouting off crap?

And for ten years i pretty much loved reading various posts taking a good pulse of the left and using information to better serve my community.

But this post is analogous for our current political state and in some ways DU

you had an opinion and some extra information to add...and you did.

Now people will read this thread and read your post and make up their own minds.

Like I said before, that's the beauty of DU, we get to see different sides of the argument, and if we think someone is wrong we get to tell them why.

41. I made up my mind--the poster missed the point most people are taking from the photo, entirely.

Last edited Fri Jul 6, 2012, 12:08 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

It has nothing to do with boating (or Jet ski) safety, or anything of that nature. It has to do with out-of-touch rich people playing around at their private lakeside mansion. I think that's what the overarching majority take from it.

As the military drawdown progresses, this poster just might be unlucky enough to have a better sense of what it feels like to be one of the Great Unwashed....even more so if the Coastie spouse hasn't racked up enough years on deck to be eligible for retirement.

To me, that "first post" tells me more than the poster might have intended.

45. Agree that

Pointing out a rich person enjoying something that most cannot afford is FAIR game.

And I wore a uniform for my share of years and do not want to sound elitist because I know about boating.

I was only referring to the posts of people actually saying that he was being unsafe and even breaking maritime laws.

I don't know why it irked me so (did have a sleepless night with a sick baby so this gal is cranky).

However I think we can point to thousands of problems with the Rom-

63. Do you think piling a ton of small children in the bow of that vessel is a good idea?

Not that "boating safety" is the issue, and all...but that just looks "dumbass" to me. I wouldn't do it.

By God!  And because MADem won't do it neither should anyone else!!

44. I count at least 10 children in the bow of that boat.

You think that's safe?

You loved DU for 10 years and now because of this post you have to accuse DUers of "spouting off crap." Nice debut. and welcome.

So let me get this straight.

"FraudsterRomney" has been lurking for 10 years, that would put him as a DU reg since 2002.

In 2002, Romney was NOT EVEN GOVERNOR of Massachusetts yet! So this guy is INCREDIBLY PRESCIENT.

That's exactly where I'd want the kids in a bowrider so I could keep an eye on all of them as a group. Not fooling around and grab-assing in the stern where it's easier to fall overboard. DUmbasses have no common sense at all.

Hey DUmmies, why don't you Photoshop a dog riding up there? You got so much traction from the last canine story about Romney.
