Ridiculous Romney

From Politico...

When he was 13 years old, Anthony Circosta shot another kid in the arm with a BB gun, which was not a nice thing to do.

And even though Circosta's shot did not break the kid's skin, Circosta was convicted of assault.

Which did not matter much as Circosta worked his way through college, joined the Army National Guard, went to Iraq and led a platoon of soldiers in the Sunni Triangle.

In 2005, while still in Iraq, Circosta petitioned then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for a pardon so that Circosta could become a police officer when he returned home. And the state Board of Pardons recommended that Circosta receive that pardon.

But Romney refused. Twice.

So it seems Romney doesn't like pardons unless it is abou tthe CIA leak case and Scooter Libby...

Asked in last week's debate if he would consider pardoning Libby, Romney said: “It's worth looking at that. I will study it very closely if I'm lucky enough to be president. And I'd keep that option open.”
