Wrong. The GOP/RNC elitists, of which Mitt, and his father before him both were, are not ‘misinterpeting’. They are liberals, big government, always have been with the anomalies of Coolidge and Reagan.
They know what THEY want. They way know us.
It’s just a matter of lying, sales pitch, bait for Republican Bubbas.
What you think of as mistakes, is really calculation.
Wrong. Mitt above all is a political opportunist, and if he thought his chances of winning the '12 GOP nomination would be increased by taking a hardline anti-amnesty approach, that's precisely what he'd do. But as I correctly pointed out, he's misinterpreting the reason the GOP got its butt kicked in the last two elections, and is proceeding (with his pro-amnesty stance) accordingly. Mitt's personal stance on the issue has nothing to do with it -- he'll go whichever way he thinks the currently political wind is blowing.
