Are you going to arrest me, Governor Romney?

If you haven't seen the video of Mitt Romney turning away from a man with muscular dystrophy, coldly stating, "I don't support medical marijuana," you are missing out on a clear moment of truth about this man who is running for president.

It really boils down to that simple moral judgment -- should a sick man in wheelchair and his doctors who are trying to help him be put in jail for attempting to alleviate pain? Apparently Romney is okay with that. That is his morality.

If the reality of the man's suffering was discomforting to him, perhaps he should reconsider his policy position. Otherwise, Romney has to live with knowledge that his pursuit of power hurts the man in the wheelchair and that every step forward he makes, his campaign is furthering injustice and cruelty.
