Quote of the Day: Romney Has Lived a Lifetime of Bullying

A letter to the editor in the Cleveland Plain Dealer in my opinion seems to sum up pretty well Mitt Romney both as a person and in terms of the policies that he supports:

The true story of Mitt Romney bullying a boy in high school and cutting off his hair fits with the same Romney of today, who still believes that there are rich, important people in the "in crowd" who count, and then there's the other 99 percent.

In business, Romney picked on struggling companies and fired many in their work forces in order to make profits for the owners and his buddies at Bain Capital. In politics, he would have "let Detroit go bankrupt" with thousands of job losses, would raise taxes on the bottom 20 percent of taxpayers and would lower them for the top 1 percent, who currently pay the lowest marginal tax rate in the last 80 years. 

These attitudes and policies would help the "in crowd" and bully 99 percent of Americans -- the ones who don't count.

 No doubt some readers will howl their disapproval of this, in my view, correct analysis.

Man, Michael, when you use hyperbole you use it to the Nth degree.

Romney, like all of us, has some faults. A life time of bullying is NOT one of them.
