Mitt Romney Breaks Laws On Campaign Trips

Capitol Hill Blue reports:

The motorcade of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney exceeded speed limits and went through stop lights Friday as local law officers escorted him, blue lights flashing, to campaign events in two South Carolina counties.

Traffic pulled over for Romney's caravan as Saluda County Sheriff Jason Booth, a Romney supporter, led the candidate's motor home and staff cars with his blue lights running from the Aiken County line through Saluda County to the Newberry city limits, according to an Associated Press reporter following the candidate.

The caravan traveled between 10 mph and 15 mph over posted speed limits. The posted speed limits were 45 mph and 55 mph.

"We wanted to make sure he stays safe and gets to where he's going," Booth told The Associated Press.

Asked whether it's proper to use flashing police lights to escort a candidate, he said, "I'm not getting into this with you, sir. I have no comment." Booth, a former supporter of Arizona Sen. John McCain, switched to Romney in April.

Good to see Romney breaking the law, so he can get to place, to give some socialist type speech on health care.That's socialism for you,the end justifies the means.
