Not saying Romney has never been rude in his long life.

Has Obama and Clinton ever been rude?

A dozen women have claimed that Obama has anywhere from sexually harassed to committed rape. Is that not an indicator of a rude man?

Romney got what he deserved. Plain and simple. The current Republican party could make any "normal" person crazy. Now imagine what it could do to the more borderline nuts out there.

Professor John Lott at the University of Chicago has said that Obama was extremely rude to anyone who disagreed with him politically.

Lott claims that the first time he met Obama, Obama was upset with his view on guns - trying to be friendly he offered to go out to lunch with Obama to discuss their view points -- Obama grimaced folded his arms and walked away.

Now President Obama is the rude rapist? It might be time to take a break. Maybe you can find the citation including President Obama's college friends. (And this muddle is how crap becomes internet
gospel.)

And what is your source for that information? A book? Magazine article? Internet blog?

John Lott is a well-known RWNJ, so I wouldn't believe anything he says anyway. There are rumors that his "research" on guns was funded by the NRA. Perhaps.

A candidate can be right without being rude. As you say, the truth can hurt, but the truth does not have to hurt in two different ways at the same time. Being rude during a critical time when a candidate needs to be seen as polite (just polite. Friendly is optional) is a sure-fire way of losing votes, and losing votes loses elections.

Romney already had a sterling example of what to avoid with Rick Santorum's performance as a candidate. He failed to learn that lesson completely. If that video had been his first display of his feelings of entitlement and his arrogance, he might have been able to overcome the damage, but it was not.
It was the last of a long string of similar incidents we all got to see, right from the beginning. He and his wife, who is even worse, indulged in their behavior time after time for months. That last video was just a bridge too far that confirmed everything we all saw and heard before, many times.

What the hell kind of candidate shows up at breakfast, all flanneled up and wearing blue jeans and passes up a chocolate donut, calls it a 'goodie', then wants to take it back to his RV? The man had no clue. He should have eaten the damn donut for forgot about it.

Because when asshats like Romney are your representation of the Republican party, liberals such as me who prefer at least two party debate worry the other side will become extinct.

Go to red Mississippi or Alabama and tell me how one party rule works for them. Heck, look at mostly blue Illinois. Bankrupt.

And spare me Texas. We ain't nothing but a big Mississippi down here without oil.

How about this, Republicans? WWRD? What would Ronnie do?

Something tells me, not this.

Typo - I meant to say Clinton as per the link.

Is Clinton not rude with a dozen women claiming that he has anywhere from sexually harassed to raped them.

Funny how people who don't care if there are rape allegations care about allegations of hurrying up waiters. Democrats and their war on women.
