Shameless, aren't they?

Has anybody since Washington ever had to be dragged into the Presidency? No.

Didn't Romney have about a dozen competitors who were all glad to relieve him of the burden of being the GOP nominee? Yes.

Well a few had to be dragged out lincoln

That's rcg's job, he's needed it ever since he blew up his journal.

We know the klan is made up of poor uneducated angry white men. Therefore, you are representing very well.

Quote from CaptainObvious:

And this has what to do with capturing Romney on video? You know, I know, everyone knows the left has given him hero status because of the Romney issue, not anything else. He doesn't capture Romneys statement, you don't even know or care who he is, and neither does anyone else.

Given the dangerous crazies on the right, it was courageous to release that video. The guy now has a target on his back and you know it. I think you're just jealous.

During the tense weeks between the election of November 2000 and the theft by SCOTUS in December 2000, the thing that stands out most in my memory is that of all the passionate calls into C-Span, the only ones threatening violence if the Florida recount didn't go their way were ALL from the right. Not one Gore supporter was threatening violence if Gore lost.

That is pretty much the definition of hero, CO.

An individual being at the right place, at the right time, and does the right thing.

Name one hero that does not fit that definition.

The right thing in whose opinion? Certainly not Romney, or his supporters, but I'll give you, it's not a good argument.
My point is that simply doing the right thing does not make one a hero. Lot's of people do the right thing all the time without notice or accolades. I suppose you're argument would be that he somehow believed his life was in danger by doing this. That's a stretch which only makes sense in the mind of the hysterical leftist who believes everyone is out to get them. The whole, vast right wing conspiracy thing.

Speaking truth to power. Look that up. It can be quite dangerous, from Socrates to Karen Silkwood on up the line.

Well that at least partially explains why you work as a propagandist for them.
Maybe you should have joined the Army reserve for that extra money instead. Lord knows your trading expertise {snicker} won't help.

1) Let me guess you think that wasn't carefully planned or out of sample.

At best I'd say it was selective memory at work.

Yes the hero label goes way too far. But one thing everyone can agree on it is always a good thing when a candidates private views on how to govern are made public. Purdy provided accurate, unbiased information and that is a good thing.
