A hard ass, the "kick ass kid" is the conservative teen that witnessing something like this, would have intervened and kicked the bully's tail and would have been willing to face down his little posse.
lol Obi Wan has taught you well now release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy Mitt Romney.
Yes it’s all very interesting, in my view of things, if this incident occurred as reported (big if) Romney ranged from a wise ass to an all out A-hole.
However, it is difficult to assess where people stand 50 years later based on stuff they did in high school. As I already pointed out, why are the co-bullies now all wonderful sensitive guys, yet we are to assume that 50 years later Romney is not a better man?
Answer: Because they support Obama and Romney is running against Obama.
And as for my observation, yes many people view Romney as wimpy but this incident will lead many to believe he was a tough guy in high school.
