Romney apologizes for bullying and pranks in high school. Do you find it refreshing that he was honest? (Page 2)

It certainly happened. There's no doubt about that. There are plenty of credible witnesses whose accounts are all basically the same.

What I find most interesting is that Romney contradicted himself in his reaction, claiming that he didn't remember the incident, but also claiming that he didn't think the victim of the assault was homosexual.

Oops ...

Sarcastic Dots: The issue is about his half-hearted apology, which is laughably immature-- if you are truly sorry about something, you don't create excuses to justify it, and you certainly don't make contradictory statements.

As for his relatives saying they aren't aware of such an event-- so?

The vast majority of my family don't know about the stuff that I did in school, so that doesn't prove anything.

Interesting choice of vote, since neither is running.

Coffrey: Man... I have not known a worse person to run at a worse time than Romney now.
I know that the American people are generally idiots and they fall out love and into love at the drop of a hat, but still, there's no way slimy Wall Street-esque Mittens Romney is going to win. Fuck, we elected good ol' boy George Bush back in 2000, even though he is big money, he at least acted like every imbred redneck who is a die hard republican.

Look forward to 4 more years of mediocrity, America

It's as much about his reaction to that incident today, as it is about the actual incident.

You said:
"This thread is about what President (soon to be) Romney did/did not do in HS some 50 years ago. Yes, 50 years ago when he was 16? 17? 18? years old."

I replied to that.

That's kind of the way that these Forum things work, ya know ...

Anyone care to speculate what that meant?

Coffrey: Salve, since when do forum topics stick to strictly one particular aspect? It never does, only as long as it stays on the topic, which I think is Romney viability to the american populace. See how you didn't address anything, again only dismissing it, I'm beginning to see a trend in how you deal with things that you object to......
