The oatmeal has hit the fan!
Do you remember those missing resumes from Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel's office? They've suddenly been found, but people are wondering where they've been all this time.
HuffingtonPost:
....Mandel, the GOP nominee against U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), released 33 of the 34 remaining resumes to state Democrats, saying they have been "voluntarily presented" to his office. The release followed weeks of Mandel's office saying it did not have all the resumes for staffers hired by the Tea Party favorite to fill posts in the treasurer's office. Several of the resumes, according to the Dayton Daily News are for longtime political aides or friends of Mandel...
.....Democrats, who have been seeking the resumes since 2011, were
alternately denied or ignored by Mandel's office, at one point receiving
the entire state payroll as a response. The Dayton Daily News reported allegations of "cronyism" in Mandel's office earlier this year, and The Huffington Post reported that Mandel dispatched his debt-management director to a beginner's class in the subject when he was first hired.
The delivery of the resumes comes the same day as questions from
Brown's campaign about Mandel's attendance at five events in Washington.
The event schedule for Mandel released by Brown's campaign includes
four fundraisers and a conference call with members of the Republican
Jewish Coalition. Thirty GOP senators helped raise money for the
34-year-old at one of the fundraisers...
Josh Mandel has told so many lies that it will be difficult to believe anything he says.

What’s on the mind of a campaign’s message machine may not be the
burning issue in journalists’ minds. When Mitt Romney’s campaign held a
conference call with reporters on Wednesday morning to discuss what it
called President Obama’s “record of failure on the economy,” the first
three questions from reporters were about Mr. Romney’s views on
immigration. Campaign press aides abruptly ended the conversation.....
...Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become
president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the
House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His
job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has
already been prepared....
In other words, Norquist and the Republicans want a non-thinking, puppet, to do as told. No thinking or questioning will be allowed. That sounds like Romney!
