Mitt Romney attends fund raising event hosted by convicted cocaine trafficker

[_Kissy_]

Mitt Romney recently attended a campaign rally in Florida that was hosted by a man who was part of a drug ring that was caught trying to smuggle over 2,000 pounds of cocaine into America.

Reinaldo Bermudez, 38, is the owner of Palacio de los Jugos, located in Miami, Florida. Bermudez was a member of a gang that was arrested in 1997 for trying to smuggle over a ton of cocaine into The United States. He served 3 years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

It has been locally reported by miaminewtimes.com that Bermudez was vetted by The Secret Service previously because Mitt Romney wanted to use a vegetable stand for campaign purposes. The date and time of this Secret Service investigation is unknown.

Which only implies that his campaign staff thought it would be a good idea to attend an event hosted by a convicted drug dealer.

This rally was held despite the fact that Bermudez is not legally able to vote because of his previous felony convictions.

My thoughts exactly.  My first thought was a vision of Palin claiming that Obama "palled around with gang members".

They don't care because it's not Obama doing it.

Ptobably sitting around with people who insisted aquaintaces are unimportant and they are all laughing their asses off at fools who bought into the hype either way.

So true.

I have been horrified over the past several years at people who I thought were intelligent/educated who have themselves bought into some of these lies, one of which is my accountant.

Much like those who care now only care because it is Romney doing it. Or did it not occur to you that it worksboth ways?
