…and playing the game…

Yeah, it’s not really news, either.

I can’t figure out why all that money that was raised at Clooney’s party couldn’t have been better placed behind a third party candidate?  Harry Braun, anyone?  Yeah, I don’t think he’s perfect, but it is so refreshing to see an intelligent discussion of the serious issues facing us right now. And not part of the financial/big oil crowd….

Related to this, is this incident with Romney and John Lauber.  I’d heard about this, but couldn’t get to it until now. Wow.  The rightwing host here was having a fit over the publishing of this story–he was saying that this was old news and that the Post was in a conspiracy because it was published the same day that Obama came out for gay marriage.  As if…

The rightwing host went on to say that “this was 1965–nobody wore their hair long then. Nobody.”  Um, yeah, I have a different recollection.  Even though I was only 4 years old at the time, I remember how irate my father was at the “long hairs” and “weirdos”.  So guys were starting to wear their hair long–it just wasn’t acceptable by the anal retentives.  To express your individuality with long hair was verboten–as Herr Romney illustrated.

Anyway, the rightwing host failed to recognize the bullying aspect and how wrong this was.  Romney had no right to impose his will on another.  None.  He was violent towards another individual.  I think that is very relevant to his character and whether we want such a person leading this country.

Let’s see…contempt of the poor, bragging about paying 13% of a normal 35% in taxes, wants to destroy public schools,…and now bullying…sounds like a stand up kinda guy. /snark
