People Can Be Dumb

I've never understood people's outrage in politics. Apparently questioning Romney's record at Bain Capital is out of bounds, but questioning his Mormon beliefs or his universal health care is obvious fair game, or a presidential bow before a Saudi leader. In short, religious beliefs that are unlikely to affect day-to-day White House policies, and courteous bows, are game for questioning, but not a candidate's record in the private sector.

Obama’s under fire for a shot
At Romney, and at Bain, and we’re surprised
That politics is dirty.  Be advised:
Elections are, as often as of not,
A bitter feud.  And all presumption here
Is quite surprising: Mormonism, health
And universal access to it (wealth
Is verily avoided) put a fear
In any worried his religion might
Inspire some apocalypse.  But all
And any questions on the bitter pall
His acquisitions put upon the plight
Of any working men is out of bounds
(I guess a Saudi bow is better grounds).
