Meet the Press-Double Standard:
The double standard David Gregory stuck to in this interview was jaw dropping. Romney won't even come close to the open air policies his own father (the other Governor Romney) championed, by showing over a decade of his tax returns, but Gregory decides that question is OVER? Is that because Ann Romney said 'stop it!'? Good lord, Romney not showing his returns is a vital and important issue in judging his financial character and now the press is dropping it while they clung to the 'Elvis Lives' nonsense about the president's birth certificate for years, AFTER HE HAD BEEN ELECTED and the FBI, Secret Service etc. had long since confirmed his validity as a citizen!
Shameless.
And too, while president Obama was practically forced to to be publicly baptized and answer for every strange remark made by his hot headed pastor, Mr. Romney's Mormon faith is apparently off limits, even though there are elements of it that do have policy implications. Romney was a grown man in the Mormon faith before the church changed its policy to ALLOW BLACK PEOPLE TO JOIN! My God. I know there are a countless good people in the Mormon faith and I'm sure they all have a personal story of how they dealt with this issue if they are Romney's age. America does need to hear Romney's story there too.
What an unbelievable double standard this interview presented.
Gregory pressed gently for Romney to name the 'mystery deductions' he would wean from the rich in order to raise revenue, while cutting their taxes even more. Romney never named a single deduction he would cut and Gregory let him drift on without highlighting that omission. Apparently Romney's newest version of healthcare reform is to eliminate ObamaCare and then replace it with the same thing, but call it RomneyCare II? That's all I could make of it.
Concerning Afghanistan not being mentioned in his convention speech, Romney said "I find it interesting"..."why does it matter what words I say?" Well Mitt, as far as David Gregory's journalism goes, it doesn't much matter. You're rich, just say whatever you want.
