A Multiple Choice Mitt Quiz
Posted by Michael Link on June 13, 2007 at 02:25 PM
Which of these people do you think is least deserving of a pardon:
- A decorated Iraq war veteran and hero with a boyhood conviction for a BB gun shooting that didn't even break the skin. The veteran "led a platoon of 20 soldiers in Iraq's deadly Sunni triangle" and "sought a pardon to fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer."
- A Bush administration official convicted of two counts of perjury, one count of obstructing justice in a grand jury investigation, and one of the two counts of making false statements to federal investigators. The official also leaked the identity of a covert CIA agent, creating a severe security threat.
If you're Mitt Romney, you reject pardoning Person A twice, but actually consider pardoning Person B. He's actually talking about favoring a pardon of convicted felon Scooter Libby. This from a man that brags about how he is the first governor in the modern history of Massachusetts to deny every single request for a pardon.
Hypocrisy? Another day in the life of Mitt Romney. I suppose that we should be grateful that he only denied the veteran's pardon, rather than also lashing out at him like he recently did to an Iraq veteran on Memorial Day.

I believe that Romney is wrong! The soldier should be pardoned, he fought for our country and deserves it. Our fine YOUNG men and women are over there not knowing if they are going to live or die. That is a risk that our government put them in and it would only be fitting that this soldier and others get a pardon. I don't believe in this war anymore due to the fact that we aren't chasing the one person that they said did the 9/11 disaster. Osama Bin Ladin. Whatever happened to that? We don't hear anything about him anymore. Let's get it straight,they don't even look for him anymore. As far as what President Bush said, "You are either with us or on the side of the terrorists." What is that crap, so if you refuse the war, immigration or anything that man has to say, then you're a terrorist? B.S. We are American citizens and according to our Constitution have a right to free speech. But he seems to not follow our forefathers examples. He goes against the Constitution as much as possible. And I am sorry, but this Bill S.1348 can't be passed, I know that you want it, but alot of people don't. I am not against the people coming here and becoming a citizen, just some of them like you mentioned are not to be trusted. Do we really know about some of them? They have already told us that there are terrorist cells in America, how do we distinguish between the good and the bad? We don't know if the terrorists got to the Mexicans, Hispanic etc...We are in a place right now where we can't trust our own government, how can we trust anyone wanting to come here? Sorry, this isn't for everyone, just a few. I apologize to anyone that is really trying to make it here legally. But the bottom line here is that USA need financial support from our government and the president keeps sending money to other countries. Bringing the foreigners here, we will be broke.
I would go with B as the right answer, Bush administration don't deserve to be pardoned.

Mitt Rommel's candidacy is a fine example of the thinking that asserts you can never go wrong by assuming Americans are a bunch of brain dead Nazis-in-waiting.
