Lost but not forgotten: Integrity in politics
This NYtimes editorial points out an interesting morality that republican candidate, Mitt Romney, isn’t entirely spineless jellyfish after all. I don’t agree with him, and I’m still not voting for him. I was happy to see that Romney, despite all his negative campaigning against Obama, wasn’t willing to affirm a lunatic conservative supporter’s claim to Obama’s “treason” just to continue the negative dialogue when other candidates had been so eager to do just that.
