I guess by now the Obama/Dem. camp wish they had kept eir mouth shut...
I remember being with my moms Stepmom and she was old, sick and had Alzheimer's ...a very sweet lady but at the age of 10 I never had seen anyone with such a severe case of Alzheimer's who didn't recognize us or my mom and was speaking to her every few minutes like we just came in and was asking where we came from and telling "thanks madam" ....to me it was hilarious and I was almost under the table but the adults thought it was not funny but I had the time of my life....only later realizing how sad it actually was, but how can you blame a child who is naive and ignorant.....later on our way back by train my mom fell in the hallway of the train station and luckily wasn't injured but as you can imagine seeing her fall down with eggs in her bag that we got from her stepmoms chickens...was to me like watching "funniest home videos" and I was not the one helping her getting up because I was still laughing...luckily grown ups with brains helped her...later we had a lot of fun looking back but also mixed feelings but can you blame someone that was not in a malicious way trying to do harm...kids are kids and if you never did anything a little naughty than you are an old soul.
Funny story thanks for sharing
....bet if it really came out it was more like a snip of hair, but the story of a total haircut makes a better bash Romney story.
I thought Ed Schultz and his guests came across as complete baboons when they tried to make a story out of something Romney did some 45 years ago. But stooping to their level of the sewer isn't any better no matter how much they deserve it.
We've all done some mean things as kids and we've all done some truly great things through kindness or generousity. MSNBC's
troop of journalistic monkeys are the laughingstock of the business but don't join them in a feces flinging fight. Even if you win you still smell.
That would be true...........except.........the story about Romney isn't true. The thing with obama shoving the little girl is in his own words, his own voice, and he actually hurt the little girl. Cutting hair, even assuming it happened, doesn't cause physical pain.
The family of haircut guy (Lauber) says it isn't true and they refuse to say anything more about it. They've released that very short statement.
Actually--I stand corrected and I apologize. It does say middle school in the article (not the quote from the book), which is 6-8 grade. Recess isn't held past 6th grade (elementary at our school) so that would make the kids around 11. You still can't compare a light shove by a 10 or 11 year old to a group of seniors in high school holding a kid down to cut off his hair--no reasonable person would try to make that claim.
The reason we don't let eighteen year-olds drink alcohol is because they are too immature.
Since I've heard nothing from the lib press about him being suspended after the alleged incident, I have to conclude whatever happened, if anything, is being grossly exaggerated.
Oh, I grew up in a very conservative town. We talked about sex all the time. Who was "doing it", with whom, who was gay, etc.
I'm not so sure this initiation rite is such a non-issue. Granted, it was a lo-o-o-ng time ago, and people change, but this "frat boy" mentality is off-putting to me.
You don't know Mormon's well then. Gay was a dirty word in my house and talking about sex well, I had to be careful who I was talking about it to you could get in trouble could be considered gossiping. Romney may have grown up in this environment also, it just wasn't to be talked about. I did among my friends, but not around adults. Things have changed in a short while.
You talked about others sex life "all the time" I remember when you thought I was strange bringing up adult women talking to each other about sex, but it's okay to talk about others having sex and who's doing it..........gotcha
Romney's a Republican so I'm sure he never had you for a vote to begin with.
You and others have excepted that Obama is not the man he was in college, what's the difference??
This whole thing is so silly, the Romney "bullying" and the Obama "girl-shove".
The Romney story has major cracks, plus it was 47 fracking years ago; Obama was a kid who acted like many boys would in that situation at that age. (Of course if a little boy did that now he would be arrested and put on psychiatric drugs; probably labeled a "sexual harasser" as well.)
The economy is in the toilet; gas prices are sky high, and there is a radioactive tsunami heading for the West coast. In other words, there are more important things to worry about.
