Mitt Romney ... the humanity side the press ignores

NewsMax reports:
In contrast to the glowing coverage of [John] McCain and his Straight Talk Express, the media have largely ignored a telling clue to Romney’s character. As first fully reported by Newsmax, when told in July 1996 that the 14-year-old daughter of one of his partners at Bain Capital had been missing in New York for three days, Romney closed down the firm. He asked its 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to try to find her.

“I don’t care how long it takes, we’re going to find her,” Romney told the girl’s father Robert Gay.

As it turned out, the girl had gone to a rave party and taken ecstasy. As a result of a massive campaign orchestrated by Romney, he was able to locate and rescue the girl when she was within a day of dying from the effects of an overdose.
This is the first I have read that story ... and Mitt Romney has been on my radar since September. It's deja vu ... 2000 all over when the press also gave John McCain a pass when he ran against George W. Bush.
