22. Mitt Romney did the right thing this time around, he must be admired for that act

I don't think anyone at DU or even the Democratic party would vote for Romney if he decides to run for president, we all know who he is, what he has done, and how he thinks, but one thing he did prove this time around is that he is a man of principle, whether he linked it to his religious beliefs or not, he did the right thing and he must be recognized for it, so this time around we can leave the rest to the past (unless he decides to run for anything) but lets allow him to basque in his good action, and lets applaud him for it.
