Mitt Romney now admits he “misspoke” in saying he was not concerned about the very poor.  Ron Paul, one of Romney’s few defenders, says that if we could look into Romney’s heart we would not find that he cares nothing for poor people.  This is among the more disturbing signs of Dr. Paul’s weirdness I [...]
