Great Candidate! Successful Campaign Stop!

Oh boy:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) exchange with a few hecklers turned into somewhat of a shouting match while he was stumping Thursday in Iowa.

...The first two questioners pointedly asked Romney why he wouldn't raise the cap on Social Security taxes, or promise not to cut Medicare benefits.

...Romney defended his free-market belief with a line sure to be dredged up by his political opponents: "Corporations are people, my friend."
Soylent Green is corporations!

During the back-and-forth, Romney also admonished his hecklers: "If you don't like my answer, you can go vote for someone else. If you want someone who will raise taxes, you can vote for Barack Obama." IF ONLY.
