Showing Original Post only (View all)Romney stood by silently and allowed his own supporters to call the President a traitor [View all]
The question that was asked of him afterwards was not just whether he himself thought that the President was a traitor, but whether he's fine with his own supporters believing that the President is a traitor.
His mealy mouthed answer about "not correcting his supporters" is a tacit admission that he's allowing his supporters to poison the political waters. He apparently has no conscience about what his supporters would say.
What will he say if a supporter came up at town hall meeting and told Romney to his face that it's time to "Lynch that nigger in our White House"?
My money is on the bet that he'd do nothing, just like he did today.
And that, my friends, is the definition of a fucking wimp.

OP
If Obama at a town mtg got an anti-Mormon questioner we'd never hear the last of it

YUP ... he's weak. I think hitting him with the "coward" label is a good tactic.

Anyone that doesn't know that Romney is a flip/flop POS has a problem. Romney would never

I'm sure he wasn't afraid, he was tickled to death. He may not know dogs, but he knows a whistle.

Independents are a myth, or the most gullible voters there are, not knowing what they want all year.
