The Mittster's Willie Horton Moment: Throws Judge Under Bus.


Talkleft.com:


Republican candidate and former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney is under attack because a former prosecutor whom he appointed to the bench ordered the release of an inmate on bail whom prosecutors charged with crimes arising from two incidents that occurred a year or more before the end of his prison sentence for manslaughter. One incident involved him spitting on a guard and in the other, he hit a guard with a cast that was on his arm.
The inmate, Daniel Tavares, Jr., moved to Washington State after his release where he resided with his wife whom he met through a prison pen pal program. The wife brought a gun into the home, even though as a felon, Tavares isn't allowed to possess a gun. Tavares is now charged with and has confessed to shooting and killing a newleywed couple in WA over a $50 debt.
A "Willie Horton" campaign moment (1988 ad here)is brewing against Romney. In response, he has called for the Judge to resign and pushes the death penalty button.

Here we go again and now it's Mitt's turn to fry. I wish I had the picture of Mitt at IHOP in Riverside. I bet he said this is were people eat? Well he didn't get much money but now he's just paying himself back as he spent 17 million dollars of his own money. Time for Mitt to go home.
