Accustions are Bothersome

These charges should bother us.

Mitt Romney stepped away from Bain Capital in 1999, but had himself listed as chief executive officer with the Securities Exchange Commission as late as 2002?

Romney has countered that attack with an attack of his own, suggesting Barack Obama had a habit  of "taking your tax dollars and putting it in businesses owned by contributors to his campaign."

I'd like to study more -- the story on Romney being CEO at Bain in 2002 is now four days old and I have not had enough time on it -- but bed calls.

I'm not of a mind to just dismiss it all as mudslinging without substance. To me, the charges are important. They are things that matter. Just as important as which side of the aisle you are on, is whether you can walk down the aisle with your head held high. Integrity does matter.
