Mitt Romney's Intolerant Platform

Mitt Romney's platform calls for:

-- Turn Medicare into a voucher program to buy private insurance, forcing seniors to pay more out of pocket for their health care costs.

-- Outlaw all abortions without exception for rape or incest (including a "salute" to states like Virginia that have passed extreme ultrasound laws).

-- Ban marriage equality and reject civil unions of all kinds.

-- Won't protect the mortgage interest deduction for middle-class families if Romney enacts his tax plan, even though it helps more than 30 million middle-class families.

-- Kill investments in clean energy jobs and reject the wind production tax credit, which would cost up to 37,000 American jobs. 

No wonder why The New York Times calls it "mean-spirited" and "intolerant."
