Gee, do you mean the positions Romney took during the campaign were all phony and he never believed in any of them? I'm shocked. I never would have expected this in a million years.
Other than Ann Coulter I can't think of anyone who is surprised by this.
What’s weird is Mitt (and apperently his staff) have some wierd disconnect from normal humans, probably rooted in a very real personality disorder. They can’t seem to grasp how normal humans will view them and the urges which motivate them. It’s kind of funny because it produces moments like this where they openly admit to their lack of principles, and seem confused that anyone else finds it unusual.
Mitt does this all the time. Laughingly tells the story of his dog and the terror he put it through on top of the car. Stops mid-speech, looks down, squashes a bug just do do it, then laughs to the corwd, and says Look how I got that little guy! Brings a stuffed squirrel to a speech to highlight his varmint hunting days.
It really is like the Romney campaign is some cabal of space alien automatons trying to take over the world. But none of them is quite convincing enough to actually come off as human, and we’re all left scratching our heads.
Sad thing is the media is going to Dan Quale him something fierce once the general begins.
