I'm no fan of Romney and will not be voting for him but I typically let things like this go. Just high school/college hijinks. Nothing more.

Remember when the media tried to make a huge deal out of Rand Paul's 'Aqua Buddha' frat initiation? Like it was some sort of horrible satanic ritual co-ed sex abuse brain washing?

Romney just sounds like he was pulling pranks and being a stupid kid.

difference being the whole water budda story was a fake
( in any event not a crime )
if this is a fake story then they would be equal

Police impersonation is an act of falsely portraying oneself as a member of the police, for the purpose of deception. In the vast majority of countries the practice is illegal and carries a custodial sentence.

Impersonating a police officer is sometimes committed in order to assert police-like authority in order to commit a crime. Posing as a police officer enables the offender to legitimize the appearance of an illegal act, such as: burglary, making a traffic stop, or detaining.

Dressing up as a police officer in costume, or pretending to be a police officer for the purpose of play or a harmless prank toward an acquaintance is generally not considered a crime, provided that those involved recognize the imposter is not a real police officer, and the imposter is not trying to deceive those involved into thinking he/she is.

The following impersonations class as the offence:

Verbal identification: The imposter announces to the unsuspecting victim that they are a police officer.
Fake Badge or Warrant card: The imposter, though not in any special clothes, displays a police-like badge or identification card to the victim. Sometimes a real police officer will not even be able to differentiate between the real and fake badge, as some duplicates are very, if not exactly alike.
Fake uniform: The imposter wears a uniform that looks very much like that of a police officer.
Fake vehicle: The imposter places lights, decals, or other equipment on a personal vehicle to disguise it as a police car and enable the offender to make arrests or traffic stops.

Obama has the evil genius vibe. Mitt Romney is just cult member creepy.

What age? Romney was in college when this supposedly happened. He was an adult.

Makes sense, especially now since he is impersonating as a conservative.

Looks like he might be a habitual offender , hopefully he won't get the chance to impersonate the president

How is it that Mitt's university days points to someone whom had a personality, and now he is such a tool?

Anyhow, I don't care about his univeristy days personally...whatever...you go to university to further your education and to try wacky stuff.

He is lucky he didn't get busted for it though..that would have wrecked his career.


I don't know what else to say about this though, I mean, he did stuff at university..who cares..is he doing it now? no (or at least, lets hope he isn't..however, he is still going around pretending to be a president )

I can think of many reasons why I don't like the guy as he is today..that being he is a liar...not someone whom distorts truth, or does a 7 degrees to the truth..but a flat out lie, and even when it is pointed out and he is busted, he states he doesn't care, and will continue to lie.

"Whats sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander".

I don't need to dig into his past to find the most distasteful characteristic I think I have ever seen....I don't think I ever heard a politician not only justify, but boast about lying..not the lie..but lying itself...

Guy better hope he is wrong about religion...because there is no room in morman heaven for liars..especially not proud gloating liars.

Hey Saturn

re your statement "I can think of many reasons why I don't like the guy as he is today..that being he is a liar...not someone whom distorts truth, or does a 7 degrees to the truth..but a flat out lie, and even when it is pointed out and he is busted, he states he doesn't care, and will continue to lie. "

That sounds like Tony Abbott (leader of the liberal party) down here in Australia. He even said during an election run "don't believe everything I say" Gotta luv pollies hey

-laughs-
At least the guy is humorous about his joy of lying.

I think we as a society keep politicians around so we can hate someone after we stop hating our parents
