I disagree that everything else is irrelevant. How a person has acted in the past and how they have dealt with their past mistakes speaks

Posted by: Andre C on May 13, 04:19 in response to accountant_4_Jesus' post Yes, you can learn a lot about a person from knowing...

directly to the character of that person. Yes, sometimes people change, and other times people continue to make the same mistakes they have in the past, despite what they profess to believe now. Politicians, in particular, are known for saying one thing and doing something else.

As a voter, I want to have as much information as possible to make up my own mind about what I think about the character and honesty and candor of a candidate, and filter out what i personally think is relevant and irrelevant.

Romney bullied a gay classmate. Antibody May 10, 10:25

Wonder why didn't the guy mention it last presidential race. Or during the race for governor. Or during the senate race against Kennedy. {nm} Dave3626 May 10, 10:47

He wasn't the nominee last race. Washington Post wouldn't have covered state races, now they're digging deeper. {nm} Antibody May 10, 11:00

Cain and Gingrich weren't the nominees when dirt was dragged out about them this race. Also, the race against Kennedy DID garner national Dave3626 May 10, 11:10

Granted, in all fairness the other side pulls this crap, too. BOTH parties and their surrogate attack dogs make me sick to my stomach. {nm} Dave3626 May 10, 11:13

Who cares? Everyone was either a bully or bullied in school. It's life. {nm} jmr May 10, 18:09

And you really shouldn't be posting political stuff given your position with HSX. {nm} jmr May 10, 18:12

He's obviously not taking a stance. This is huge news (if you don't believe me, just click on News in google...). News is news. {nm} PRodQuanta May 10, 20:12

Posting it is taking a stance. You think Fox News would phrase it the same way he did? {nm} jmr May 10, 20:18

He phrased it exactly how all the other headlines phrased it (again, just looking at google news). I have no idea what DMacs thoughts r onit {nm} PRodQuanta May 10, 23:57

It was wrong to phrase it that way since the guy, who's now dead, never told anyone for sure that he was guy. It was only speculated he was. {nm} Dave3626 May 11, 04:46

Ah. That makes sense. However, I would have reported it the same way because that's how everyone else had. Still doesn't make it right. {nm} PRodQuanta May 11, 09:23

This is precisely the reason why I hate mainstream media. accountant_4_Jesus May 10, 21:14

Liberals don't have anything else to stand on. The economy still sucks, contrary to what Obama promised during his campaign. {nm} jmr May 10, 21:22

They also like to claim racism if you dare criticize their hero. {nm} jmr May 10, 21:23

Wow, the liberals you hang out with sound like a pretty ignorant crowd. {nm} PRodQuanta May 10, 23:59

Never use the "X president didn't deliver promises in campaign" gag. No president ever does. It will make you a hypocrit someday. {nm} PRodQuanta May 11, 00:04

Sorry A4J but it is not the {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 10, 22:06

"mainstream media" which is a conservative code word for anyone who disagrees with them....Google "Obama" + "affirmative action" and Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 10, 22:10

Just like the Left uses "bigot" as a codeword for absolutely anyone who disagrees with them on any issue for any reason? {nm} Dave3626 May 11, 03:08

Uh... do you remember the Obama bin Laden escapades? Birthcertificate? Drug use? This is exactly what you are describing. {nm} PRodQuanta May 11, 00:01

Obama did coke, listened to Wright for 20 years, and hung out with a self-proclaimed terrorist, but it's all in the past, don't think twice Dave3626 May 11, 03:10

I believe this issue is more of a testament to his religous beliefs than his morality. {nm} PRodQuanta May 11, 09:31

No high school kid has truly developed or thoughtfully accepted religious beliefs. Too young and dumb at that age. {nm} Dave3626 May 12, 14:33

I respectfully disagree. I would actually agrue that that is when their beliefs are strongest. {nm} PRodQuanta May 13, 08:13

Shouldn't one consider a person's past when deciding whether to vote for that person? Andre C May 11, 01:40

Of course. Which is why some like myself were upset to here about Obama's use of coke and that he flirted with the idea of heroin which is Dave3626 May 11, 04:49

Who says the past doesn't count for everyone? Those things were brought up during the last election, and voters considered them, and voted Andre C May 11, 10:03

The point is that those things were only discussed by the hard right; the WP couldn't have cared less. On the other hand they jump to Dave3626 May 12, 14:47

Yes, you can learn a lot about a person from knowing about their past, but the thing is that people change. accountant_4_Jesus May 11, 20:19

....but has a case of brain freeze trying to recall the incident. Some people will say anything to become President. {nm} Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 10, 22:03

So true. See, for example, Barack Obama. Against gay marriage to get elected, supports it to get re-elected. {nm} Dave3626 May 11, 03:15

I don't think anybody is arguing that this is a very opprotune time to announce his new-founded stance on the issue. {nm} PRodQuanta May 11, 09:28

Alleged Romney bully victiim's family outraged over crass (ab)use of deceased son's name for political gain. (link) edzep - Port Monkey! May 11, 15:36

I wonder if he didn't off himself, because of Romney's bullying. {nm} elchan May 11, 17:03
