I know the feeling, I've actually come close to defending Mittens a few times today, because this half century old story from his high school days is just so stupid and desperate by team Obama. Heck 50 years ago, Obama was eating Fido in Indonesia while worshiping Allah at the local Mosque. I'll take some American High School Hijink anyday over that.
I might adapt the position of “Work for a Romney victory 2012, and a Romney defeat in 2016.”
I don't have any problem defending Mitt Romney when he's right but I'll never vote for him. I'd even defend Obama on the few occasions that he is right, like ticking off the Turkish Muslims by calling for them to admit to the genocide of the Armenian Christians in WWI. The sad thing is that each of these two are right so infrequently that I fear for our nation in the next four years, regardless of who wins, and I seldom have to defend either.
