In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney is working his way into being the most hated man in America [View all]calimary
(81,729 posts)There are some key triggers that get pulled in this campaign that provide tipping points for many of us for various reasons.
I'm stopped automatically before I even get inside the proverbial city limits with these guys because they're anti-choice. HOWEVER, if I got past that to continue considering them and not flatly ruling them out on the choice issue, I would be stopped where Roger Simon of Politico said he got stopped. He wrote in one recent column that what he was still having serious trouble with was that incident at wrongney's prep school in which he grabbed some kid whose hair style he didn't like, knocked him to the ground, and forcibly cut his hair - in front of a bunch of other kids and cohorts of his and other assorted goons-in-training who helped hold the kid down and cheered him on.
"And there is another thing that troubles me even though some dismiss it as trivial. I am still bothered by Romney attacking that gay kid and cutting off his hair with a pair of scissors when they were in prep school.
A ghetto kid does that and he gets booked for assault with a deadly weapon. But what does the son of a governor get? A law degree from Harvard."

If I knew nothing more about wrongney than this (well, I'm omitting the whole shameless Seamus affair on the roof of the family car), I would be seriously soured on the guy. A nice person doesn't do that shit. A true gentleman doesn't do that shit. A follower of Jesus doesn't do that shit. A person with TRUE class and nobility doesn't do that shit. I know all I need to know about mitt wrongney. How he treats others over whom/which he has power - is disturbing. Just plain ol' DISTURBING. Someone like him has NO business being President.
