There is so much of substance to go after Romney for, why fcs Lionessa Jun 2012 #3

Because it displays a profound lack of empathy to those struggling with addiction and disabilities? bluedigger Jun 2012 #5

No it does not, or at least no more or less lack of empathy than he has for any other Lionessa Jun 2012 #8

He said it TODAY on his first major interview with the non FOX media. bluedigger Jun 2012 #14

Today, tomorrow, yesterday, it is trivial, so I'll continue to treat it as such. Lionessa Jun 2012 #17

My opinion is not a command of behavior, just noticing the hypocrisy, that's all. Lionessa Jun 2012 #20

Hypocrisy? How is it hypocritical to point out behavior that exhibits a character flaw? nt Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2012 #27

Hypocrisy noted, your job is done. demwing Jun 2012 #46
