Between now and the election, explain to me how can we tell the difference between a good, anonymous conservative Freeper refusing to vote for Romney on principle, and a covert leftist operative posting on this site to discourage votes against the Kenyan?
That is a stupid irrelevant question.
The people who run this party took it upon themselves to pick a candidate, and to sell him to the country.
This is their job. If they fail in their job then you should blame them for not doing their job.
That is so self evidently obviously true I just cannot understand why these stupid thread keep coming up.

Good luck with that! Or discerning the difference between someone who is a willardite because they’re sincere (albeit misguided), or are just on the payroll.
Only thing I can suggest is looking at how long they’ve been here and how often they post. Someone who has been here a decade and has posts numbering in the 5 or 6 digits is probably not an operative. Conversely a n00b or someone with 50 posts is more suspect.
I gave up on trying to discern underlying motivations and just respond to the post.
