After the Republicans have questioned our Presidents citizenship the media now has the gall to say something like that!
Now after these fuckers have went back to our Presidents birth the media is now trying to say that high school is off limits? They think we are all idiots.

(6,960 posts)The 'mainstream media' was not on board with this birth certificate nonsense.
And while when one runs for President nothing is really off limits, I think that dwelling too much on what any person did as a teenager is problematic.
Look, Rmoney is a spoiled brat adult -- we are all seeing that more and more every day.
It is a political mistake to draw big conclusions based on something that happened in a person's life nearly fifty years ago. But part of this, too, is that I don't think that whatever Barack Obama did as teenager is especially relevant either. The last thing we need is some kind of media frenzy digging up everything Obama did when he was fifteen years old.

I would never risk giving any of those vicious hyenas any position of authority.
Remembering how they were and what they did sickens me.
Bullies who never changed are still bullies, be they beating on:
"Weak gays"
"Weak workers"
"Poor people"
"Their lessers".
Romney is still a bully, and still beating up people he considers his inferiors.

There is very little that is NORMAL about Romney -- for example he spent 30 months in France recruiting french people into a non-drinking church and telling them they should not have gotten out of Vietnam.
