Fairly wrong

It should be clear to everyone now that Mitt Romney just doesn't know what fairness is. Most likely he has never thought about it - never had to.
In his 'unofficial acceptance' speech, he put forth some ideas of what it is, but IMO fell far short of the mark.
Fairness in giving urban students school choice? How about fairness in making ALL of our schools quality so that choice isn't an issue.
Fairness in taking away unions political contributions (which I believe are voluntary anyway)? How about fairness in providing good wages and benefits for everyone which union members fought and died for.
Fairness in having public and private employees have the same benefits? Fine, as long as you bring the private employees benefits up, instead of try to take public benefits down.
You have a little over 6 months, Mr. Romney, and you have a LONG way to go.
