Political Bane

While I've come to accept that ugly is the new normal for political campaigns, the rumors that Mitt Romney tortured and killed a male prostitute then defecated on their corpse are way out of line. First off, the gender of the prostitute should not even be an issue. Secondly, Romney hired others to execute the torture and the eventual murder that took place after hours of unspeakable cruelty. Most importantly, Governor Romney merely urinated on the corpse and only where the throat was slit. Attacking one's opponents over genuine policy differences is to be expected, but if we give our tacit approval to the spreading of lies then we don't deserve to live in the greatest country in the world.
