Did you see Romney in Colorado yesterday? He had a press event, and the reporter came with questions from specific electronic audience members ("this question is from Jim Smith, who would like to know your opinion on ... ") She listed their name, then the question. Romney got pissed the questions were on social issues, rather than the economy, but then attacked the reporter. It was not a good thing.

We need to count the non-economic bills the House has passed, and compare them to the economic bills they've passed over the past couple of years. Go Tea Party!

Default Romney apologizes for bullying in high school, and bullying gays

This is what happens to you - stuff from high school is pulled up - when you are running for President on a platform of passing a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage.

Bullying = "hijinks and pranks"? Tell that to current teen suicides.

Good lord. This man has zero soul.

Here's the Washington Post original on his teen bullying: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...KFU_print.html

Here's the fallout starting:

Romney Apologizes For Bullying In Prep School, Says He Didn't Know Victim Was Gay

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney made a surprise appearance on Fox host Brian Kilmeade's radio show Thursday morning to respond to a lengthy Washington Post story on his time as a prep-school prankster and occasional bully of closeted gay students.

"They talk about the fact that I played a lot of pranks in high school," Romney said. "And they describe some that you just say to yourself, back in high school I just did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended by it, obviously I apologize."

“I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks during high school and some might have gone too far and for that, I apologize," he added.

From the link:
"The idea that Romney, as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, holds the same mindset now as he did in his prep school days is, of course, absurd. People change, including Obama who had, until Wednesday, spent several years in public life opposing same-sex marriage."

Obama changed, too, from his alcohol bingeing, pot smoking, coke snorting high school daze, to what we now see before us. I don't even believe he eats dogs any more.

People don't change. Except mixed race democrats. Especially ones that are 1/1024th Native American.
