snip from article:
Quote:
Tagg Romney, the eldest of Mitt Romney's five sons, said on Wednesday that he wanted to “take a swing” at President Obama during Tuesday night’s debate, BuzzFeed reports. Speaking on a local North Carolina radio station, Romney was asked about hearing “the president of the United States call your dad a liar.” “You want to rush down to the stage and take a swing at him,” Tagg said jokingly, according to BuzzFeed audio. “But you know you can't do that because, well, first because there’s a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because that's the nature of the process.”


First off, only a man named Mitt would name his son Tagg. Seriously!!

If Tagg wants to hit a person for calling his dad a liar, I wonder what Tagg does when people expose his prophet(s) Smith etc as liars and fraudsters?

Does he want to hit them or does he consider that the nature of the process of exposing truth and lies too?

Maybe he lives in a cloistered and sheltered world where no one has the guts to have a reasonable conversation with him exposing his beliefs.

I'll tell ya this entire election is pushing every button I've ever had.

I cannot separate the political messenger and message from the mormon messenger and message.
Thankfully only a few weeks to go before I can get back to normal.

I'm really surprised that nobody is making a big deal about Mitt's religion

Get over it. Obama has had more lies told about him than any president in recent memory. At least, no one is claiming that Romney is a Kenyan born Muslim Socialist Communist who is an anti-Christ:

If Romney can't take the heat he should get out.

M.P.

P.S. Tagg sounds like a name that Sarah Palin would give one of her kids.

@Floater I wonder about that too. Can anyone explain that to me?


@ M.P. I wonder if the 'heat' is the stress Anne is worried about. Their corporate leadership position and mormon leadership position likely hasn't put them in a position where they get much opposition. Like Floater, I don't know why they haven't received more interrogation like Obama did.

Romney's son should be upset that his father lied so much.

I had a work colleague who was active TBM yet had the most questionable ethics of anyone in our workplace of over 600 people. Everyone knew it but the odd thing was, I'm not sure he was aware of it. I can't explain it but somehow I think he did the things he did thinking they were fine, yet a normal person with a sense of ethics would never do some of those things.

Sometimes I think Romney is the same way. He told a baldfaced lie to the people of Ohio, saying Jeep was moving all production to China. He said he "read a report somewhere." He may naively have believed that report - that came from a blog on a right-wing website. Hey, it's on the internet it must be true! He has no idea he was just outright lying to the voters. The CEO OF JEEP immediately issued a statement that Romney was full of shit, there was no truth to what he was saying. Yet, he never apologized for it -- because he may just be so unaware of his surroundings that he had no idea he was lying.

I think we really dodged a bullet by not electing Romney. He's a massive piece of work and it would have been a daily freak show with him as president.
