why many utahns will NOT support Romney
Ask yourself this question..
Would you vote a man into the office of president of the United States of America who has no respect for law enforcement and places no importance on security?
I certainly wouldn't and I won't vote for this man. I live in Utah and work at a Ski resort that hosted downhill events for the Winter Olympics in 2001. The fact is Mr. Romney took it upon himself to appoint himself as some kind of law official and proceded to let a bus go thru a checkpoint that had no authorization which security officials had stopped and were checking. He also berrated and insulted and used profanity at the law enforcement officials who were only doing their job. He used the F-word numerous times toward the law enforcement officials. This kind of behaviour is propostrous and Romney should have been removed and cited. Who the H### does this guy think he is??? He was the president of the Olympic committee and he thought that gave him the right and power to interfere with law enforcement/security doing their job durring a very high profile event where security was top priority???!!
Security is a difficult field to work in and isn't always popular with the people and to have some idiotic, stuck up, hot headed politician like Mr. Romney interfering in matters he has no understanding of or places no importance on is beyond intolerable. Keep in mind this was a very sensitive time for our nation as the 911 attacks had just occured and we were now holding the Winter Olympics! Security was of utmost importance. There are many people in this area and in Utah who are well aware of this incident and that it did occur even though it hasn't been publicized much. Romney will not deny that the incident happened because there were too many witnesses. Many many people here in Utah will not vote for this man whether he is mormon or not. We don't want a president like this.
If you want more info on this event read these news articles and the reports by law officers. Also google "Romney snowbasin terry shaw"
"HUNTSVILLE, UTAH (2002) -- USE OF PROFANITY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
On February 10, 2002, while overseeing 2002 Winter Olympics, ROMNEY became extremely angry upon encountering a traffic jam at a venue and proceeded to berate two persons authorized to direct traffic there, including with obscenity laced tirades, according to a police captain at the scene and a volunteer targeted by ROMNEY. The traffic volunteer Shaun Knopp stated that ROMNEY "asked me who the f___ I was and what the f___ I was doing. We got the Olympics going on we don't need this s___ down here."8 Weber County Sheriff's Office Capt. Terry Shaw, commander of the Snowbasin venue, stated that ROMNEY twice used the F-word while also berating one of his officers, Deputy Kodi Taggart. Capt. Shaw stated that ROMNEY "was abusive" to his officer and advised, unsuccessfully, that "he needs to apologize."9 ROMNEY denied part of the allegation, insisting he hadn't used the F-word since high school -- but admitted he used a word he described as "H-E-double hockey sticks." Disposition: The Utah Department of Safety advised it had decided against initiating a "profanity probe."10"
