ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Puts me to sleep and I guess it is open season now on Romney. He was a prankster.....lol, so was Keith Moon and I loved his pranks, even the ones that involved explosives. Rock stars, even dead ones, get a pass but heaven forbid that a republican gives a wedgie or some other prank. Back then we all played pranks on each other and it wasnt a bad thing.
I will ignore all the attacks coming soon to a news station near you on Romney and vote for him. Next up....Romney has seven wives....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz

You just want to argue, and obviously you haven't actually been reading any of my posts, or maybe just selectively reading them. I have said like 8 times that I'm not a right winger or a Romney supporter. I'm just not so far to the left that I can't see the need for fairness when it comes to these exaggerated, bogus hit stories. I posted basically the same thing on the "Obama did drugs" counter thread. Real mature about the Arkansas public schools thing, by the way. These political threads always dissolve into 8th grade name calling...People, these days...

The fact that I'm still alive is mind numbing. What teenage Romney and Obama did in high school is totally irrelevant to this election, and this is just a partisan distraction. And it's really convenient that the guy who got his feelings hurt by Romney in the 60's waited until the 2012 election to make this public. If messing with your classmates was really an assault, half of us would still be in jail. Just trying to offer a slightly more balanced perspective on a sensationalized media article. The end.


And I said, "speak for yourself." My point is that EVERYONE does not necessarily do STUPID things in high school. Some people do their work, play sports, participate in extracurricular activities and graduate.

Period. That's it. The degeneration of the conversation to which you refer was initiated by you.

you can spin all day long Old Gringo, but the fact remains all you have is some dried up fake attack on Mitt because you CANNOT talk about democrat successes over the last 3 year because there have been none.

once more with feeling. It’s the economy that matters and Obama owns the economy and the economy stinks.

The DIFFERENCE is when a republican is outted for these things, he fails to win re-election.

That is NOT the case with democrats. in fact democrats have a history of lionizing such men.
More sweeping generalizations. You're living in fantasy land if you believe this is all one-sided. FACT--it's a political reality on both sides, as uncomfortable as that may make you feel. I'm willing to admit it. Are you?

The Duke of Wellington a British Military Leader and Prime Minister once said "The nation's battles are won on the playing fields of Eton". What he was saying is the character of Britain's elite was molded at its elite prep and secondary schools. I believe the intangables of a man or womwn are shaped at schools including ones reaction to challenges, ones empathy and many other character traits both good and bad. So if a person acted like a pyschpath in high school it may not be a good idea to let this guy anywhere near the red button, I think it is good these things come out in a campaign. Also if a camapaign always reaches for the cheap attack to suceed has this person really changed since the day he took a pair of scissors to someones scalp? Obviously not!

the story itself has factual errors, it addresses Mitt in HIGHSCHOOL.

and all this has done is make people more clearly understand that the left has nothing real to talk about because the last 3 years of leftist policy has left America on lifesupport.

Its the economy people and Barak Obama owns this pathetic economy!

This pathetic economy was courtesy of the GOP, who has spent the past two years trying to block any attempt at recovery. Considering that. Obama's done a "heckuva job" to paraphrase one of your idols.

Post-Katrina, for those old enough to recall.

It's called an "assault", not a prank.

Family of Romney’s Alleged Bully Victim Speaks Out: ‘We Are Aggrieved That He Would Be Used to Further a Political Agenda’ | Video | TheBlaze.com
Do not quote the Blaze for anything, it has zero credibility. No rational person would ever raise the white flag to the Blaze.

Your Fox memory only goes back to 2008? Republican outsourcers (of Romney's ilk) own the negative economy. The economy tanked under Bush. Now you blame Obama for not cleaning it up fast enough. Right!
The economy is a result of republican trickle-down - a failure. It has taken 30 years to slide to where it is. Romney will continue the slide.
The bad part of the economy since 2008 belongs to a Wall Street Republican obstructionist congress. Remember what your boy Boehner said.
