Touring around France (I've been there and it's marvelous) for a couple of years peddling Mormon bullshit is the moral equivalent getting your ass shot at in combat for a tour or two in the Vietnam war.

OK, Mittwit. Gotcha.

when he was all for equal rights. Mitt changes his stance according to his political needs. Super panderer.

But it would have been better to indicate up front when it occurred so that there was no confusion about it.

That doesn't change anything and the fact that it is re-circulating is good and important. I just wouldn't want someone accidentally assuming, and declaring, that this is something that just occurred.

Even when he thought the guy was a republican.

He's quite possibly the least personable candidate in my lifetime.

and the way he leans away makes me sick. Mitt's clearly afraid that being gay is contagious.
