NEW YORK (AP) — Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is calling for the resignation of a New Hampshire police commissioner who used a racial slur in describing President Barack Obama.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, joins some political leaders and residents in the New Hampshire town of Wolfeboro in calling for the resignation of Robert Copeland. Romney owns a home in the town.

He says in a statement, "The vile epithet used and confirmed by the commissioner has no place in our community: He should apologize and resign."

1. Even a stopped clock is correct 2x a day.

It's a shame that we all know he's only using this opportunity to try and keep his name front/center and seemingly relevant.

2. And we know how RMoney stood up to tea-baggers who were spewing hatred about Pres. Obama

RMoney certainly stood up to all the tea-baggers who spewed vile hatred about President Obama during the campaign, so certainly this is just another example of Mittens sticking to his guns when it comes to minorities.


and of course I can't forget this......

3. Mitt owns a home in Wolfeboro, N.H. and by him saying the police commissioner should go ...

.... this will speed up his exit. Mitt might have other motives but he did the right
thing in this case.

4. Sure he's been sheltered and lived in a very white world

but Romney has never struck me as particularly racist unlike some of his GOP brethren.

11. Agreed. That's not to say he is above using other's racism to press his own advantage, but

14. Well crap

Now I'm a hypocrite, because I still think Romney has zero leadership qualities.

[former9thward]

15. I doubt that makes you a hypocrite.

Just because Romney made a statement (A) and afterwards the police chief resigns (B) does not mean (A) caused (B). Even if it did I don't think this shows Romney has leadership qualities.
