Romney Republicans: the party of petty thievery

A small thing but so illustrative of the Republican "moral" ethic. Team Romney stole the exact wording of the quick donate features for their campaign from the app launched back in March by Team Obama. When the GOPers got caught, they changed it immediately and blamed "junior staff."

If this was an isolated incident, it wouldn't be a big deal but it displays in so many ways from the GOP campaigns stealing songs without first obtaining permission of the artists to stealing campaign memes and themes from the Democrats and pretending they invented them. Their ethos is to take whatever they want simply to help themselves. Then they have the gall to claim all the credit for "building it themselves."
