[Vision2020] Dems like secret recordings

[Joe Campbell]

I don't see your point, Paul. Obama would do it, so it is OK for
Romney to do it? People should be entitled to insult half the country
if they have the expectation that that half is not listening? When you
are pandering to voters in your party, you're entitled to say whatever
insulting thing you wish?

How is criticizing someone for insulting half the country setting the
bar "too low"?

You seem to have this fatalistic attitude that politicians are jerks
and there is nothing we can do about it. No point criticizing Romney
since Obama does the same. I say: If it is wrong, say something. Don't
put up with offensive crap from politicians. I don't care who does it.
It is just WRONG to insult half the country when you are running for
President of the United States of America. Wrong for Obama, wrong for
Romney.
