“It’s probably true that among those who don’t [have Photo ID], it’s primarily elderly persons. And that’s a shame. Of course…our society is such that minorities don’t become elderly the way that white people do. They die first.” – John Tanner, Chief of Civil Rights Section, Voting Unit, U.S. DoJ, today’s “Enemy of Democracy”.

Frank BELLAMY Political Consulting advice for Gov. Mitt Romney
At this stage of Gov. Romney’s Presidential Campaign the voters will start to pay closer attention to his “non-verbal” actions and they will size him up, then ask themselves; Could he be a strong leader?…
Love it or hate it, he will be compared to George W. Bush as the voters view his non verbal skills and appearance. The voters view President Bush as a tough talking but also a tough walking kind of Bad Boy”¦And they like that about him!
Gov. Mitt Romney has a propensity to take “shorter and closed gated steps” when he walks. Gov. Mitt Romney appears to be in great physical shape and he is handsome but when a Tall or Big Man takes shorter steps when he walks it makes him look “Soft” in a non manly kind of way”¦and the voters don’t like that!
So”¦who ever is reading this post, please send emails to Gov. Mitt Romney’s Political Camp and tell them to have him take “Bigger and Bolder Steps” when he is walking in public.
