Romney didn't "play a prank." Romney committed an assault

Having assaulted a person at age 18 might be forgivable. Lying about it is something else.

It just does not seem credible that Mitt does not remember having assaulted a classmate in his senior year in high school. But let's assume Mitt did just forget all about it. What does THAT say about his character?

Another thing: Mitt had decades to somehow make amends to the guy he apparently assaulted. He not never did that. That's troubling.



We should keep this story alive. It speaks volumes about who Willard really is.

Because they're sharp and can stab you... or other people.

No, Mitt, you didn't just give him a little snip. You could have injured him badly.

I don't know if our country can stomach a President that reckless.

reckless disregard for human life, hate crime, and cover-up. This dude is even worse than GW. I called that months ago. I was hoping I was wrong.

The media may downplay this in the following days because they don't want Romney out of the race. They want a close race. But I think this needs to get out about Romney.

I also wonder how long before Romney people find him and pay him off to say it was no big deal

today (and didn't have a dad who could buy off the legal system) he'd be facing prison time.
