Mitt - Bullying For Votes

[kpete]

I keep reading about how Romney can’t close the deal with the fundagelicals no matter what he does. Christ, what does he have to do? Beat up a gay kid?
Oh. Oh, dear. Ummm, yeah. sorry.

1. KP, as much as I can dig the dark underlying truth here, I

am personal acquaintances with two self-identified Repukes who I know for a fact were victims of school bullying, because I personally witnessed it. I do not talk much with either anymore, after GW's crimes, so I cannot say for sure how they are responding to the story. But I am hoping this episode lifts the scales from their eyes about Romney and their party affiliation. Even though each is markedly homophobic and, in one case, distinctly racist and misogynist, perhaps the sense of shared 'victimhood' with Lauber will transcend that.

2. I hope your 2 acquaintances

come around
Life is so much better for EVERYONE when TOLERANCE is applied

peace, kpete

3. From a NYTimes op-ed you posted in another OP:

A 2010 CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll found that 77 percent of Americans believed that bullying is a “serious problem that adults should try and stop whenever possible.”

The math is simple - at least a portion of that 77% have to be Repukes (maybe as few as 5%, but still).
