...would have to admit his father is full of crap.

Tagg Rmoney is also inflicted with Ann's disease. No, not MS. He's inflicted with the "I'm-better-than-you" syndrome and has visions of aristocracy dancing through his head.

And if you look closely, you'll see the dollar signs in his eyes.

This election needs to be over, and this family needs to fade into obscurity before they do some real damage to humanity -- damage other than what Mitt's carnivore capitalism has already done.

The President has some really impressive body guards hired by the same people who guard his Father. Even the Secret Service who guards his Father have a first priority other than his Father. On the other hand having a name like Tag could be the source of some issues.

The notion that a prep school product who has probably never been in a real fight in his life is going to "take a swing" at anybody is simply preposterous.

It needs to be tweeted and spread around every way possible. It does NOT set a good example for young people especially who need to learn to settle differences and express them non-violently. This means WORDS too!

Maybe Obama himself can't criticize them, and has to stay above the fray, but I think it's time for the Obama surrogates and others in the media to begin denouncing the Romney family as unfit to be the First Family.

Is that Tag says he didn't do it because of the Secret Service guards, not because violence is the wrong approach. He could have said, "I felt like taking a swing, but that would be the wrong thing to do". He didn't.

He insists on no special favors and sometimes wears a mouth guard. Not bad for a 50 year old man. There was a report on this a couple weeks ago on NPR. Although he is a very controlled person President Obama seems to find an outlet participating in contact sports. It would be the wrong thing for Tag to do more ways than one.

Tag is a spoiled rotten punk, Obama would of cleaned his clock if had taken a swing at him. On most occassions, Republicans like to make threats, but in reality they usually fail to follow through on them because they are cowards. Most Republicans have never truly been in the streets to know just how tough the world can be, as many live in gated communities and have never had to scrape the bottom like many of us. I may be insane, but I tell you what, my money would be on Obama against any of the Romney clan in a fist fight. Hell, I think I would even take Koe Biden against Ryan, Biden reminds me of my grandfather who was a steel worker, one tough S.O.B.

If either of Kerry's daughters had said the same thing about Bush after one their debates, we would be cheering them on.

When stuff like this happens, I always reverse the players to make sure I'm not judging someone's actions based solely on my dislike/hate of the person involved. (I'm a Libra so I can't help it. )
