I WAS DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT THE DETROIT NEWS ENDORSED MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT. THIS IS THE COMMENT I SENT
TO THEIR EDITOR:
"I once was proud to be a Detroit News paper-boy back in 1960-1965, when I was 13-18 years-old. Back then I respected the newspaper that I sold. But as we both have aged I hav

conservative -- finally reaching the point where I no longer respect my former

In the second paragraph of your editorial endorsing Mitt Romney you describe the current election as a decision between two "honorable" men. In my opinion your choice of words is either grossly incorrect, or intentionally misleading. You also say that you "find Romney to be ... not bound by rigid ideology." I find that to be a creative but tortured euphemism for describing a man who displays only one guiding principle: "The end justifies the means." Mitt Romney grasps onto whatever beliefs he feels are necessary in order to curry the approval of whomever he is speaking to at the moment, and then blithely changes them at his next campaign stop to fit his new audience.
Lastly, I see nothing honorable about a man who cavalierly buys often-profitable companies, plunders them for personal gain, hides his untaxed profits overseas, sends American companies to places like China were he can pay them 99 cents an hour -- coldly casting the company's former American workers onto the scrap-heap. If you support such a person for President, then you -- like Mitt Romney -- appear to possess no sense of fairness or decency, and no honest concern for the well-being of this country and its workers. Shame." --Brian Enright
