Although truth is complicated, it is the essence of our legal system. You raise your hand and take an oath to tell the truth.
It takes absolutely no courage on the part of politicians to be pro-abortion. There are millions of votes involved. The same is true for a long list of other specialized interest groups. Certain religious groups vote almost exclusively left or right. Certain racial groups vote almost exclusively left or right. The same is true of unions, gun owners and a whole long list of interest groups. This interest group voting is the way it works in the real world and is very hard to overcome.
Without going into Candidate Romney's motives, it seems to take a certain moral conviction to stand up for what you believe in, rather than what will help you get elected. The fact is that he spoke the truth when he indicated that a large percentage of the tax payer population do not pay federal income taxes.
That happens to be true. The question then becomes is this a situation that will, in time, work towards the detriment or the improvement in this close to 50% of the population's standard of life?
In any case, Romney was probably right, a significant portion of those people vote democratic under all conditions. Such was the stance of my Mother, who I loved dearly...Democrat - 100% of the time.

I find your blogs to be insightful and somewhat challenging as a middle of the line person. Have you ever thought the truth is hard to swallow? He needs to speak to his audience, all of them dont you think.
