[FLASHBACK] Mitt Romney and how he 'held down gay taunt student and chopped off his hair'
Daily Mail ^ | May 10, 2012 | By DANIEL BATES

Posted on 11/10/2017 8:14:13 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

One of Mitt Romney's high school classmates says that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was 'evil' in his younger years, and acted like he was a schoolboy gone mad 'like Lord Of The Flies'.

The Romney camp was reeling after the revelations that he forcibly shaved the head of a high school classmate who was regularly taunted for being gay. The former governor of Massachusetts grabbed tearful John Lauber and hacked away with a pair of scissors because he thought his bleached blond hair was ‘wrong’.

Mr Romney also supposedly mocked another student who was a closeted gay by shouting ‘Atta girl!’ when he tried to speak in class.

Now, in damage control mode, Mr Romney's campaign staff have contacted a number of the candidate's former classmates to try to get them to speak out publicly on his behalf.

"I believe John Lauber. His account is too serious to ignore. Romney is unfit for office and should step aside."

That makes Romney unfit to hold office.

So the “me too” mania has morphed into “accuse men of anything at all, if they’re Republican.”

A witch hunt indeed.

Hmmm ... These are obviously Clown World reasons for opposing anybody, but it’s being done to shoot down Romney. I don’t know how to feel about this.

He bullied a Poofter years ago? Well, that’s okay.

The Gaystapo is everywhere now and could use some push back.

Why are you posting these old articles on Romney? Is he back in the picture somehow?

Because Mitt was trashed in 2012 just like Judge Moore is being trashed today. Read my comment on the post.

Romney is 'evil.' He is a miserable, lying sleazebag who will say anything at all that serves his own personal interests at any given moment.

In 2012, when he wanted (and received) Trump’s endorsement for his doomed presidential campaign, he spoke about about Trump in the most glowing, obsequious terms:

Romney thanks Trump for endorsement.

But in 2016, all of a sudden Trump was a liar, a con man and a failure as a business man.

As the above video shows, Romney doesn't have an ounce of integrity, and shouldn’t be holding any political position, PERIOD.

and in 2007/8 when this story was first told, there were those who said it was a lie and people were Mormon haters etc for repeating it...

plus it was impossible for angel-boy Wee Willard to ever do or say anything untoward...

Well that was no angel who said such ugly things about President Trump during the 2016 election cycle...

that was the normal loud mouthed bully Willard...

and it s the same hypocrite Willard now with what he says about Judge Roy Moore...

"Why are you posting these old articles on Romney? "

It's a good reminder of the pathetic stories the media rolls out to take out Republican candidates. It's gotten so that one expects the drive-by media to dig up some outrageous story on a Republican in the closing weeks/days of the campaign. It's a given.

I said the same thing at 9:34am this morning.


By Romney's definition, he should have stepped down when the hazing story first came out.

Just found a thread farther down about Romney sticking his nose in on Twitter, and saying Moore is unfit for office. The doofus.

Romney is one vote I really regret.
I fell for the “you have to vote for the R jersey” argument.
I did not vote for McCain, there was no way in hell anyone was going to make me vote for the author of the previous TWO amnesty attempts.
When McCain went from flying coach, carrying his own bags, in June of 2007 to nominee, I knew it was rigged to prevent us from electing a President who would side with the citizens and the rule of law.
Since the last amnesty we have only had amnesty vs amnesty elections. It was deliberate.
Until Trump broke through the Bush blockade at the RNC we were blocked from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.

The most important thing to the Uniparty is protecting the Bush Plan for North Mexico and the 30 million fraudulently documented foreigners they invited here.

Something to think about, when they say we should have stayed with Luther Strange.

The DNC always has the goods on everyone. Had we stuck with Strange, or gone with Mother Teresa, we’d have been hit with other oppo research they have sitting in their files for just the right occasion. No matter who you choose, you will have to weather the storm. You’ll think, dang, we should have chosen someone with less baggage. But there isn’t anyone who can’t be besmirched with either something real from their past or something invented out of whole cloth.

Remember the Russian memo? They’ll invent it out of thin air if they have to.

So whoever you pick as your candidate, prepare to see his name dragged through the mud, and prepare to stand firm and see it through.

Congressman Duncan Hunter (the father) called McCain and Willard “the Kennedy wing of the Republican party” during one of the very first debates in late 2007...

and he was right...

BTW I voted for Congressman Hunter before he dropped out ...

one reason was because he built a bit of wall on the border and was fighting for a whole wall all the way across...he even got the wall passed and the money allocated to build it...

Willard and McCain were trying to stop him...

Willard has always been for the illegal aliens and AMNESTY...In 2008 he said “we cant send them all back” and “we must find a pathway to citizenship” for them... he hated Congressman Hunter and anyone else who wanted our laws enforced...

Willard is life long abortion king...one of his aunts died during an illegal abortion during the 1960s so he declared during a debate that legal abortions would have stopped that.. and he was proud of his own mother for running for the Senate from Michigan in 1970 on the platform of full legal abortion...He signed a health bill while he was gov of MASS giving $50 abortions to all...

Willard is a TWO Time draft dodger who spent 1967-9 vacating in Paris in a mansion and drivi9ng a top-of-the-line Citroen while other boys his age were dying in Vietnam...Daddy was the gov and also the head of the draft board...

Willard hates the military and the veterans...he said his FIVE eligible loser boys were all servi8ng their country by working in his campaign...he said they were equal to the soldiers “carrying guns” in Iraq...

Willard was for Cap N Trade...

Willard wanted China to be a most favored country for trade...he did trade with China in his businesses..he probably hates what our president is doing now...

Willard was for “global warming”

Willard thought it was OK to have same sex marriage and homosexual leaders in the Boy Scouts..

Willard is for Common core...

Willard is a gun grabber...he doesn’t care about the 2nd Amendment...

Willard is against everything that Conservatives stand for...even astonished Teddy pointed that out...

In 1994 he ran left of Teddy Kennedy for US Senate from MASS ...even astonished Teddy pointed that out...

While he was over the Winter Olympics in Utah and overspending so much that even his good buddy McCain had a screaming fit on the floor of the Senate about the unwarranted costs (mostly extravagant goodies for Utah and not the Olympics)...Willard made the volunteer Boy Scouts wear regular clothes instead of their proud uniforms and badges because the org would not allow homosexuals to be leaders...he refused to recognize all the hundreds of hours of unpaid work that the Boy Scouts did...

In Aug 2012 Willard called himself “a moderate progressive” actually he was/is a full blown liberal...oh and a progressive...

Willard hates Christians and conservatives...he attempts to destroy anything not Mormon or liberal...look what he did to Todd Akins...and tried with President Trump...and now Judge Roy Moore...

I didn’t vote for Willard in 2008 nor 2012...the accusers called us haters of morons errr mormons more than we should vote R...we weren’t “good Christians”

I backed Hunter in 2007 as well.
We might never have had the Kenyanesian Usurpation if America had any kind of choice.

Hunter was a good choice for president I had known him personally for several years...

he would have done a fine job with the right congress...he had served in Congress about 20 years by then...and was strong for America First every time...He was for National Security and warning of danger when it wasn’t popular with McCain and Co...

He is lifelong pro-life...

He is a Conservative...on all the issues...

His father was a decorated WWII Marine ...he himself fought in the Army in Vietnam..and his son is a Marine who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan...at least 3 tours...

He built a wall south of San Diego where his district was...

I did vote for McCain in Nov 2008 but I held my nose until the blood ran...
