In common with all the other politicos on the election trail, presidential hopeful "Mitt" Romney goes for one of the knee jerk issues by taking aim at video games with the avowed purpose of keeping America's kids safe. Topping the Republican candidate's list of issues to fix when he to takes up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., (Mmmm, wonder what the current odds are on that?) are, of course, freedom-hating terrorists and online sexual deviants. But right up there alongside these on Romney's to-do list is his desire to "clean up the waters" with respect to violent games. Speaking last week, Romney again pledged to strike at the heart of the problem facing today's youth, reported the Gazette Online. "I've proposed that we enforce our obscenity laws again and that we get serious against those retailers that sell adult video games that are filled with violence, that we go after those retailers." According to Romney's official platform, "there must be strong punishments and fines for retailers that sell violent and sexually explicit video games to minors." I wonder how the "wannabe" president feels about the teenagers currently losing their lives in the real war games of Iraq and Afghanistan right now? Wouldn't his time be better spent putting a stop to this criminal waste of real lives, rather than the fake stuff that happens on a computer screen?

Hey "Mitt," you forgot the "Flag Burning" no-brainer!
In common with all politicos:
I saw an interview with a few candidates and their spouses because I happened to be by someone else's television while they were on. I often wonder why the wives have traumatic problems and illnesses, well except for Hillary who has Bill with a few addictions to women himself. Does living with these kind of politicos cause such things? They should require health warnings on these type of people, don't you thinK?
