In all of my time observing people trying to get elected, never have I witnessed a bigger collection of idiots than this years crop of GOP candidates.

Romney, Who Has Two Harvard Degrees, Says Obama Has Spent 'Too Much Time At Harvard' | ThinkProgress (http://thinkprogress.org/special/2012/04/05/458987/romney-who-has-two-harvard-degrees-says-obama-has-spent-too-much-time-at-harvard/?mobile=nc)

Speaking at his Pennsylvania campaign headquarters this morning, Mitt Romney attacked President Obama as out of touch for spending too much time at Harvard, where the president went to law school. “We have a president, who I think is is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps,” Romney said.

Unfortunately for Romney, his attack is undermined by the fact that the GOP presidential hopeful has twice as many degrees from Harvard as Obama. Romney earned a combined JD/MBA from the elite Cambridge, Massachusetts university. That means Romney spent an extra year at Harvard, getting the combined degree in four years, compared to Obama’s three for the JD alone. Indeed, Romney thrived at Harvard by all accounts.

Romney has previously attacked Obama for taking advice from the “Harvard faculty lounge,” even though one of Romney’s top economic advisers is Harvard professor Greg Mankiw.

Romney has also taken at least $32,000 in contributions from Harvard faculty and administrators.

Poor Mitt, even his own relatives won't vote for him.

That's not such a big deal because I have relatives I would not vote for even if they where the only people running for election.

It looks from this comment the two have never even met each other so I don't see the big deal.

“I don’t dislike Mitt at all,” Chad Romney (pictured above) said. “He seems like a nice guy. He just doesn’t understand the constitution like Ron Paul.”

Just because you don't fully know a person doesn't mean you haven't met them. I'm quite sure they've met via family associations. There are many of my cousins I've spent time with that I'm not familiar with their characteristics. They may seem nice around the family reunions, but doesn't mean they aren't total jackasses away from it.

So, as a hypothetical, if you knew a relative was a child molester you'd stand by them?

That's a bit of extreme if I ever saw it. :)

I like to polarize the issue for clarity sake.

I'm always highly suspicious of anyone so loyal to their kin that they are blinded by facts.

I was going to go with 'would you cover their part of a tip for a meal?' but that seemed un-rat-like.
