SPEAK UP MR ROMNEY

When John McCain was running for president a woman at a town hall meeting said that she knew Obama was an Arab...or a Muslim, and John McCain quickly took the microphone away from her and corrected her...even adding that Barrack Obama was a good "family man"...and a Christian.
When Mitt Romney's gay advisor resigned because the religious right wing of the GOP was upset about his sexuality, Mitt never stood up for him...not a peep. Likewise when someone else asked Romney a question...and said that Obama ought to be tried for treason...not a peep from Romney. When Rush Limbaugh called the Georgetown woman a slut, Romney again had no response beyond " I would not have used those words."

Remember when the US soldier in uniform was booed by the audience at a GOP debate because he was gay...and NONE of the candidates said a word?

Seems to me that silence always implies complicity....and although I disagreed with John McCain over quite a few major issues...he showed courage, and even more important, honesty and moral integrity when he spoke up for the truth. Sorry Mitt...sorry GOP....you just don't deserve the same respect.

  1. I see the intrepid Mr. Romney now has the gall to take credit for saving the auto industry too. Is there anything this guy won't say?
