The Romney campaign announced today that they would not cut ties with Mourdock and said it’s “his decision” as to whether or not he would take down the ad of Romney endorsing him.

But never fear, our Joe called them on their lack of moral courage.

Doug Wright is a Pulitzer-winning playwright, author and Tony Award winner. However his biggest audience just might have been for a message he put on Facebook. His message was addressed to any of his Republican friends that just might be considering voting for Willard M. Romney.

Barbara Walters and the girls on The View were discussing Trump, his birther views and his latest stunt to get the President to release his college transcript. Barbara, who has known Donald for years, turned to face the camera and said she had a personal message for Trump that she wanted to say 'to his face':

Donald, you and I have known each other for many years and you know that I am your friend and I think you are a brilliant businessman and you are great on television and you have a fascinating personality.
Donald, you're making a fool of yourself. You're not hurting Obama, you're hurting Donald and that hurts me because you're a decent man. Stop it. Get off it, Donald.

Trump was not impressed and tweeted:

"Barbara, unfortunately you've missed the entire point of my announcement--you just don't get it!"
........"will apologize to me just like she did when I was right about @Rosie. Besides, I get great ratings on The View."

Ann Coulter is a vile person and her tweet after the debate on Monday night was no exception. It read:

‘I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard’

Most of us just brush off her vile rants, but not John Franklin Stephens.

John Franklin Stephens is a 30 year old man with Downs Syndrome that participates as an athlete in the Special Olympics. He wrote a very long and thoughtful open letter to Ann urging her to apologize for her statement. He said "that it has taken him all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night".

John's full letter is below the squiggle.

Terry O'Neill, President, National Organization for Women saying that Richard Mourdock is "Romney Unmasked". To date neither Romney nor his campaign has requested that the ads be taken down or have they withdrawn their support for Mourdock.

Terry O’Neill:

“Last night Republican candidate Richard Mourdock confirmed what Todd Akin brought to light earlier — that the radical fringe currently in control of the GOP holds misogynistic and deeply unpopular views about women, rape and reproductive rights. Anyone who thinks Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is a moderate who stands apart from this fringe should think again."

There is an undeniable connection between the President and little children. There was a very tender moment that went unnoticed by the media after the debate last night. Below the hemlines and knees of the adults was a curly headed little boy in a blue/white checkered shirt and what he really really wanted to do was meet the President.

While the adult Romneys' hugged and slapped each other on the back, The President took a quiet, private moment to engage with little Miles Romney and from the smile on the little boy's face it was the highlight of his evening.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa released 166 pages of "sensitive but unclassified" State Department cables. Those cables had names of Libyans working with the United States and Issa did not even redact those names which Administration officials said:

could have "unintended consequences".
"This does damage to the individuals because they are named, danger to security cooperation because these are militias and groups that we work with and that is now well known, and danger to the investigation, because these people could help us down the road."

Kerry said:

"This is irresponsible and inexcusable, and perhaps worst of all it was entirely avoidable. It is profoundly against America's interests in a difficult region."
