And Romney needs to disavow his association with Trump and SuperPACs run by bigots.

Your point?

Your point?

One is a actual part of your campaign and your underling who works at your discretion and speaks directly for your campaign, the other isn't?

Neither Trump nor any SuperPACs are employees Romney, he cannot fire them, they are not on his payroll unlike these employees of Obama.

But he can refuse to accept money from them and stop letting them host fundraisers for him.

Which I doubt he'll do.

Again however we are talking about his own campaign members, not people from outside of the campaign, there is a wide difference from attending a fundraiser with some one who may have said something unsavory, and having your own campaign members do it. For Obama's own spokesmen to say it, and Obama not deny it and apologize, it is pretty much tantamount to it coming from Obama's own lips.

Btw, Roy, I just read a news report that says that Romney wanted to reinstate the death penalty in Massachusetts while governor, and had developed a "fool-proof method" towards making sure that only the guilty were handed down such a penalty.

Now, support of the death penalty is not uncommon among the GOP, but is taboo among Mormons, from what I've heard. If this is true, Romney deserves excommunication from the faith.

And frankly, looking forward to voting against him in November is getting more and more fun with each passing day.

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regards the question of whether and in what circumstances the state should impose capital punishment as a matter to be decided solely by the prescribed processes of civil law. We neither promote nor oppose capital punishment."
