Which is why you get your vote and I get mine. :smile:
I don't bother to vote :smile:
Point taken.I believe he's been a politician a bit longer than that. :wink:
How pathetic this is. It was 50 fucking years ago and he was a minor. He was a bully. OMG get the fuck over it.
This plus the picking on a blind teacher and the habitual inability to state his position only give credence to my hypothesis that he is a sociopath.

I believe he was more saying that He didn't know the boy was gay was a defense in regards to his motives, implying he remembered the incident when he said he didn't.I'm sure he remembers.
But I don't find these statements contradictory.
I might remember Jimmy, one of my classmates, and have no memory of ever thinking he was gay, and at the same time simply not remember a very particular incident that may have taken all of two minutes to perpetrate.
I don't believe him, but I don't think the statements are irreconcilable.
I agree here, I don't think he's a sociopath, but I've always maintained that I thought he was a fucking idiot. His responses to the most minor and easy of questions seem to support this. :smile:A sociopath? Are you fucking joking? Talk about the irrational demonization of the "other". Unreal.
How does Mitt reconcile these 2 statements:
"I don't remember the incident"
and
"We didn't know the boy was gay"

Now that is a politically relevant comment. Will the US as a whole find it a disadvantage or a benefit in a president?And he would eagerly do it again as prez. (only with the biggest military in the known universe behind him) Once a bullying bigot, always a bigoting bully.
I've been wondering about this for months. It is possible that he was lying when he was espousing moderate views when he run for the Senate against Ted Kennedy in the nineties and again as Governor of a generally liberal state. Maybe the more right-wing positions he is now taking are truer to his core.How can I say, at once, that it's both very likely and ain't necessarily so?
I'm holding open that real possibility that Romney forgets the particular incident. It's only a possibility. I assume, like you, that he remembers it.
Well, those lies are forced on him as someone seeking the Republican nomination.
This is a circumstantial liar, not a habitual liar.
(Of course, you could say he's made a habit of lying over the past couple of years ... but that's a different thing. I don't think it's a lifelong trait, embedded in character.)
You mean like President Obama shoving the little black girl? (he mentions it in his book Dreams Of My Father).He remembers. And he would eagerly do it again as prez. (only with the biggest military in the known universe behind him)

HEADS UP
Please do not post any links to the above mentioned story. It involves small children.
This is something Breitbart.com has dredged up and you can find an audio clip of Obama reading the passage from the book on that site. It is in no way similar at all to what young Romney did and was "self-reported" by Obama himself.
