It's not that Romney was a bully in high school, he never stopped being a bully.

- As Bishop of his Mormon congregation, he threatened a single mother with excommunication if the didn't give the baby up for adoption.

- As Bishop of his Mormon congregation, he showed up at a hospital where a member was about to undergo a life-saving abortion, accusing her of "trying to get off easy".

- At Bain Capital, he ruined numerous lives with his vulture capitalism.

- He strapped his dog to the roof of a car.

- As Governor of Massachusetts, he went after education and other programs with a hatchet.

- As presidential candidate, he obliterated his opponents with negative ads, while never saying anything positive about himself.


Mitt Romney has a lifetime pattern of victimizing those he perceived to be weak to get whatever he wanted in life.

Had he served in the military, he would have been fragged by his own men.

Hey, why didn't he serve?

They released him after he threatened to sue. Contrast that with George H.W. Bush who THANKED the police officer for arresting his son for drunk driving.

The very fact that he always has to reach back to his FATHER'S achievements says a LOT about him. He is afraid to use his own biography because it shows nothing but that he's an elite rich guy who has nothing of himself to offer us.

To Mitt picking on the weak is the way things should be.
It is how he has gotten where he is at today!
This is his form of natural selection.
I just hope the "independent" voters all realize this by November 6th.

As governor of Massachusetts he also changed the notary laws to prevent out of state same sex couples from crossing the border to get married without proof of Massachusetts residency.
