So, Romney was a sadistic little @$&@ in prep school... (vote, enemy)

As a 14 yr old at elite "Cranbrooke School", Romney was known for his "practical jokes" , such as the time he led a posse of his fellow little brown shirts, as they tackled a kid whose haircut Willard didn't like, and pinned the crying child down so Romney could cut his hair with scissors.
Or, there was the time Willard escorted a blind teacher right into a closed door.
... What a surprise! Scratch these privileged little buttoned-down mama's boys, and you'll ALWAYS a bully lurking underneath.
These could be seen as wayward incidents from a youth spent seeking a path in life. Except psychologists tell us our basic nature is set by age five ( Any of us who have raised kids can attest to the truth of that).
These stories will resonate, because they illustrate a central truth about Romney's nature that only get exposed accidentally in bits and pieces when he lets his guard down- that he's got a bossy, sadistic, passive-aggressive streak a mile wide, and he takes it out on people who can't defend themselves, who he thinks are "below his station" in life.
No wonder Romney doesn't "relate" to normal people. He isn't one.
It's certainly no secret.
All of Romney's "humor" is snarky put-downs of anyone who's less overpriveleged than he is. But it always gives Mitt a good chuckle. He finds "little people" very amusing.
It was a half-assed apology that didn't acknowledge any of the incidents.
What a robotic response. "I don't remember doing that, but if I did I'm sorry." That doesn't count as remorse in my book. Same as with Seamus. It's like Romney doesn't have it in him to admit a mistake. All he has to say is that he used poor judgement and he regrets what he did. But he won't. I know some of you consider this incident and the Seamus incident small things. I guess in the context of a life they are pretty small. But a person of good character and conscience can recognize when they hurt a person or a dog and feel remorse.
Now do you see why the dog on the roof is a big deal?
It shows how he has no regard for other lives. He didn't stop to think for one moment about how cruel it is to put a dog on the roof, he didn't stop to think for one minute that he was taunting a boy day in and day out until he out and out assaulted him.
Because he, as well as most other people that have been contacted about it, don't remember it happening. Only a handful of people do, and it was something that happened 50 years ago.
And the guy that remembers most is an obama donor.
Hilarious!
The dems/Left and their media accomplices have to go back 47 years to find Romney the gay bully, the day after obama comes out for gay marriage?
Watch the puppet strings.
And the poor guy dies in 2005...I'm sure thinking of nothing else but that.
I don't think anyone is condoning this behavior (if it indeed happened) what we're saying is that people do stupid, sometimes hurtful, things as adolescents. What's important is how they've grown from their mistakes and the person they've become half a century later
