Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents

[Universals]

Politics is hardly about real issues.

[SkyUS]

I think we should have each candidate fill out a form stating how many hookers they slept with, how much dope they did, how much they drink, how many gay lovers they have had, how many animals they had *** with, if they like whips and chains, what they favor as foreplay, what kind of food they like, how many times to got wasted at a party and slept with someone...etc ...etc..

Then we could get over with this stuff and move onto real issues.

Sounds pretty good to me.

The problem with this will be that once all the irrelavan bull**** has been said each politician will be exposed as a brainless drone with nothing of substance to say.

Ain't that the truth.

[Rattfink]

There are associations with some very suspect people that should be concerning the media and the voters a whole bunch more than some over the top prank done by Romney in high school.

Besides, its not like he did anything really bad...like tape anyone's ass cheeks together.

What larger Picture? you know of his secret death camp plans or something?

Jeez, straight to the Holocaust! No, I was just referring to that fact he's a money-grubbing corporate raider, and to his lengthy screed of tale-telling Freudian slips. I'm no professional shrink, but I think that all of this fortells bad news for average American. Of course, we're screwed either way; there's no doubt about that.

Nope I didnt, but I'm not like you trying to scare up a Lynch mob on Romney for something he did or didnt do at 17. If you werent an asshole when you were 17 your lying, because we all were to certain extent. Maybe you didnt do as bad as Romney did but dont pretend you rode a Unicorn

Lil' ol' me scare up a lynch mob against Mittens? Naw, the SS (other SS) would just blow a hole in my head the size of a basketball. I seek efficacy only in the world of ideas.

And, since we're getting personal, I will be 100% honest in what I'm about to say. Obviously, you will choose to believe it or not. I actually did bully other kids—when I was in grade school. Also, I experienced it from the other direction, and received some bullying. However, by the time I was 17, I was well past that. I did have some fights, but they were with other boys with whom I was equally matched. At that age, I well knew that those who tormented the weak were contemptible cowards (or very immature, more charitably). Mitt was how old again at the time?

I liked the unicorn thing.

Do you ever get tired of being a massengill product?

Do you have any idea how adorable you are when you're angry? I THINK NOT!

Unfortunately you are correct.

Politics is hardly about real issues.

This seems gratifying at first glance. But, you have to wonder, what are "real" issues, and how much of the population has the patience and requisite intellectual curiosity to entertain them?

Jeez not to the Holocaust einstein you fail as usual. Your that guy who talks of FEMA death camps under Bush/Cheney with your conspiracy hatred.

17-18 so what? Who cares, the point is that kids are cruel, teens are cruel and can do things that are stupid. Holding it against someone 45 fvcking years later smacks of stupidity and Butthurtedness. HTFU.



Not angry, amused at your pathetic attempts

FEMA death camps and whatty what? Sorry, I've never said a word about it. It sounds like some trumped-up nonsense I wouldn’t bother with. But I do love how pieces of your simple-minded paranoia just tumble out, unrequested. Really, it’s as amusing as sh*t!

oh come on now your such a smithers to Obungle that is hysterical

I’m starting to think you’re secretly in love with that gangly goon. They say that love and hate are just opposite sides of the same coin. C’mon now, how do you really feel? Dig deep and be honest with your feelings.

Congratulations, Braveheart, It's obvious you were every bit the joy back then that you are now.

Uh-huh. I already know for a fact that you will respond to this, and will continue to do so until I finally tire of humiliating you. Really, I dare you to prove me wrong.

I'm really starting to wish someone would E-break your fingers... seriously grow up and contribute to the thread in some way or STFU.

[That One Guy]

^ Face it, Mr. "Left Coast," you just don't like what I'm saying because you're a dittohead, and you perceive my ideology as being different from your own.

[Mein Teil]

BOT: Does anyone care what Obama did in high school? I doubt it so what makes Romney any different?

[Sloppy Joe2]

This.

This seems gratifying at first glance. But, you have to wonder, what are "real" issues, and how much of the population has the patience and requisite intellectual curiosity to entertain them?

And this.

Disappointed with President Obama's campaign folks for drumming up this mostly irrelevant issue.

Disappointed with Mitt Romney for not owning up to the incident, which I personally think would have been the "wise" political response.

But I’m mostly disappointed with the countless Americans who will vote differently because of this story and stories like it of equal or less significance. I mean that to apply to both sides, both worthless IMO if they continue to focus on non-issues in regards to our nation.

The show being put on so far is pathetic. If it keeps up it will be a depressing and cynical year.

No, I was just referring to that fact he's a money-grubbing corporate raider....

When you can build a company like Staples or Sports Authority from nothing, then get back to us. You are talking out of your ass.

Mitt started out with nothing? Ha, f*cking ha ha! To his credit, Barry is closer to being a self-made man.
