That many of Romney's supporters probably don't care about it, and many more likely approve of it.

I'm hopeful that it might turn away a few voters who were willing to hold their noses and vote for Romney because they're registered Republicans. They might not vote for Obama, but they might not vote at all, either. I know quite a handful of people like that, in fact.

It could also energize some Dem voters might otherwise have been somewhat lackadaisical about the November election but have become more eager to keep yet another Repub sociopath out of office.


Of course, either of these would be difficult to track specifically, but it's nice to hope.

And I'm generally in favor of any chance to have Romney et al revealed as the cruel assholes they are.

After all, among so, so many of such 'incidents,' how could anyone recall just one of them almost fifty years later?? That'd be like recalling one grain of sand on the beach.

Those memories are like trophies to bullies. They relish them and tell the stories to their bully friends later in life. He remembers.


The one thing this proves is that bullies are cowards. Rmoney's response was one of a coward. He tries to escape the consequences of his actions while finding a way to not be caught in a lie.

Bullies are cowards and Mitt Rmoney is both a bully and a coward.

The man is even more obviously without character than Shrub ... and I didn't think it was possible.

The GOP gene pool is now a septic tank.

While the bully may have forgotten about the incident, the one he bullied won't.

I've never forgotten any incidence where I was bullied. When I went to my reunions I always wondered if the bully was going to show. He never did.

But I was always looking for him.
