I guess we can mark this as the official beginning of the fall campaign. The liberal media are excited about a trivial incident that happened decades ago in some fancypants private boys school. I agree that it was not nice and reflects poorly on him. How has his life been since then? He raised a family, was a faithful husband and father, was a dutiful member of his church, rescued the Olympic Games, ran a highly successful business, was a reform governor in one of our worst governed states and now is running for president. I contrast all that with the media's treatment fo Obama. They have displayed zero interest in his upbringing as a muslim, whether he is or was a citizen of Indonesia, his mentoring by communists, how he got into columbia and Harvard Law, how he got on the law Review, how he became president of the Review without producing any scholarly work, how he got a prestigious job at University of Chicago Law without ever writing any scholarly articles or having a judicial clerkship, who actually wrote his bestselling books, his association with mobster Tony Resko, his association with black liberationist preacher jeremiah Wright, his association with admitted domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn, how dirty laundry from not one but two sealed divorce cases of opponents were leaked during his Senate campaign, etc etc etc. I contrast Romney's record of accomplishment with Obama's one page resume: he got a make work job at the University of Chicago where he was held to far lower standards than any other faculty member, he was an organizer for ACORN, he was a local pol, he ran errands for mobster Tony Resko, somehow he got elected to the Senate, then immediately ran for president. Not that there is a double standard or anything.
the only article i read about mitt's bullying included that he's 65. somehow, i totally missed his age this whole time. what i see as the real issue: we want a senior citizen running the country at a critical period like this??? seriously, 50's would be good, but not some old bag who is dead inside. ironically, i'm a ron paul supporter this time around >.<
I don't think he has changed. The rumors of Mitt's nastiness are rife, he has just taken it covert rather than in-your-face like the teen punk he was. When this story first broke, his first impulse was to deny it and to claim amnesia. That is not the behavior of somebody who has changed and regrets his past behavior, that is the behavior of a weasel seeking to escape exposure. If he had honestly and unconditionally apologized (real apologies don't start with "if anybody was offended"), you'd have a point but that is not what present-day Mitt did at all.
Still waiting for those transcripts. You know, the ones Obama honestly put out there for all to see. Link please.
Did you have any examples of vicious and idiotic behavior during Romney's term as governor? What's he going to do, bully Congress? Wtf/ It's not like we are hiring a babysitter.
Why don't you ask Santorum and Gingrich about Mitt's viciousness in the primaries? I'm sure they can tell you volumes. How about his attempt to intimidate/belittle Rick Perry with his $10,000 bet? The message is "I'm richer than you, so I'm better than you, so back off." The idiocy is thinking nobody would notice, because he didn't have a gang of thugs hold a primary opponent down while he wielded his scissors. He certainly has the present-day GOP streak of sociopathy and contempt for the rights of others ("I will end Planned Parenthood"). He's going to bully the least powerful Americans because that is his basic nature. I would think even a conservative would be concerned about putting another pathological liar in the WH but evidently you all love that sort of thing now.
