It's also been discussed to death on DU. I think there are few, if any, DUers who don't understand the context. And if there are, and that means Romney's remarks become "misunderstood" by this thread, I'm going to be very, very honest with you, and give you my two cents worth as well: I don't give a fuck. I seriously do not. Romney made the remark. DeMint called on him to reframe it. That's the sole content and intention of my thread. You wrote what you wrote because you felt you had to. I don't feel I have to so I didn't.
