63. I'm trying SO hard not to hate Romney & Co.

Because hate is a strong emotion that only ends up hurting the "hater" in the long run... but that man (and his party) is so disgusting, it's getting really hard.

I turned to FOX to see what they were saying and was surprised to see a FAUX anchor ask a good question towards a surrogate who was saying that the State dept. should not have tweeted the message about free speech: "Do you think maybe they tweeted it because the compound was under attack and they were willing to say anything to save lives?"
