Tiptoeing around in fear is the wrong mindset, fully agree.
That said, the main reason Romney is getting in trouble is, I think, goes beyond fear and borders on political cluelessness in regard to his own internal contradictions.
He wants us to believe he really is against gay marriage, while he cluelessly tosses off a line that, as to gays adopting, “that’s fine”. As though it was a nothing burger.
He wants us to believe he’s a private sector kind of guy, while he me-toos Obama in regard to government saving the car companies.
Wouldn’t you just hate to be Romney trying to pick your way through this minefield which is considerably of your own creation??
All I can add is, dear Lord, may Obama LOSE.
Yes.
Yes.
And yes.
But we’re told this is intentional strategy, that all the other GOP primary candidates were too opinionated and made themselves targets.
Romney and his handlers have carried this so far that he’s that “etch-a-sketch” persona (that leads to shifting positions) that they let slip out.
They’re counting on 70% of the GOP electorate not being up on the issues. They’re probably correct.
