2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Romney should have showed some backbone and told that woman that she was wrong.

Period.

Just like how McCain replied to the guy who claimed that Mr. Obama was a Muslim.

Why? It gives credence to her view, and it puts Romney in a position of having to defend Obama.

[Dark Sage]

He didn't reply because he's afraid of losing voters who hold these insane views. As if he even needed them.

I thought there was hope for him when he publically said that the Birther movement was nonsense. But by staying quiet when some nut calls Mr. Obama a traitor, he's proving himself a weakling.

Oh, and I seem to remember Mr. Obama defending Mr. Romney at a speech when someone brought up Romney's Mormon background.

Funny many say the same about McCain when he refused to attack Obama in 2008, and spent alot of his time defending him or not going after the points he is very weak.

And again I ask, weren't you the one who said that candidates need to remain silent when it comes to crazy views?

When did I say that?

If someone does it when the candidate makes a speech, it's his duty to tell that person that he's wrong. Otherwise, by not saying anything, he's implying that he agrees with said crazy view.

Or he is not giving the time of day to such a argument.

[Dark Sage]

Interpret it your own way, Roy.

I say, someone at that speech accused the President of an incredibly serious crime, the only crime defined in the Constitution, a crime punishable by death.

And Romney said nothing.

I say it was disgraceful on his part.
