Mitt Romney responds to allegations of bullying gay classmates in high school.

[bean pie slanga]

What percentage of the country is conservative?

If the country voted on gay marriage, it would be 60-40 NAY easily. So doesn't this help Romney's appeal to 'those' folks? Is Obama's stance good for his election?

I feel like there's a group of people who are tired of Obama but gave him a chance. They don't like the state of the nation. And then there are conservatives who hate him and want the country to revert to olden times. Does this give Romney enough momentum to win?

 Romney endorsed Rep. Barney Frank’s Employment Nondiscrimination Act in 1994.
 In 1994, Romney called “don’t ask, don’t tell

Not even fair to bring this up, can't judge a man based on High school. For the record I hated gay people in high school, "batty bwoy fi die", now i can't explain hating a man for no reason, or to limit him from the same rights and freedoms.

people change.  just because you were a d-bag in HS doesnt mean you will grow up to be a d-bag the rest of your life.  i think it definitely is a stretch to categorize Romney as a homophobe because of some idiot stuff he did as a kid 50 years ago.

  

I think you can categorize him a homophobe by denying them equal rights.....

What you did in high-school is a indicator of who you are as a adult. Yea people can change but deep down your really not that damn different.

You don't remember the Breitbart video of law student Obama speaking at a Harvard rally, which was only released to further paint him as a radical?

 

[sooperhooper]

Are they really bringing up stuff that someone did in high school in the sixties? I'd look at someone crazy if they used my high school antics against me and I graduated in 01.

both sides play dirty...this story is a obvious straw grab at romney though...cuz if da election is run on economic issues obamas in trouble.

Come on now who didn't bully the gay kids in high school or middle school. Unless you were one those guys that liked pink marshmellows. Just playing but really though I think almost everybody bullied somebody at one point in their life. Well at least if you were on of the cool kids

I think they are trying to point out that he is homophobic, you dont see them saying he picked on a fat kid.

Even if you don't agree with me. I just don't haven't seem much difference in people since high school. People change minor details but the core details is still the same.

Real talk I hope people don't forget that we are still in great need of work here in the states. These slutty campaigns can divert so much attention away from so many issues.

Someone needs to pump this country full of jobs asap.

A republican showing hatred based on stereotypes and discrimination... We've never heard that story before.

True that B. Thankfully the dems don't play like that.
