Romney back in attack mode. Talking about his leadership in Boy Scouts of America, a flag on the Challenger. Cynical me, I just wondered if he was part of the coverup of pedophiles in BSA.
He defined heroes as those larger than themselves for those they love.
IMHO, heroes are those who act not only for those they love, but those they don’t even know. Romney sees only those he knows and loves.
[edit: and if he was such a great bipartisan governor, why did he do all those (800+?) vetoes?]
Does the Obama visit to NJ seem scripted?
Christie pats Obama on the back for 2012.
Obama pats Christie on the back for 2016.
So the people of Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Hampshire believes their president has the right to order their deaths for no good reason. Interesting.
Unnecessary conspiratorial thinking. The system IS the conspiracy.
