On bullies

Romney is a classic ring leader. They rarely remember, (or chose to) the damage they did. It is rather inconvenient.

Sadly though, since his target was "the gay," you can bet a certain group of people will come out of the woodwork to support him now. I will not state who this group is, but it should be self evident to those aware of the politics in this country...

I don't think anyone will come out and explicitly defend his behavior and parents now call police for what he did in that one horrible incident. The best he can do is say that he "grew up", but his behavior as Bain CEO, Mormon bishop, Governor, dog owner and presidential candidate will make that difficult.

The Fundies? The rednecks? The Catholic church? KKK? I can think of a lot of groups.

It's like Voldemort. You name them, you enable them.

Hmm! That's not a bad analogy. I think I'll start calling them the party which shall not be named. Too bad there isn't a good acronym there. Maybe somebody more creative than me can come up with something appropriate.

Not hide it, where it could continue to do its dirty work.
