I take the Occam's Razor view. Forget bribery. Mostly backers of Romney are just dumbasses and tools.
Yes I'm calling (insert your favorite group or pundit who supports Romney) a dumbass if he/she/it really thinks Romney is a conservative. Their wool-eyed opinions are not gospel.
Yes, you are. Fortunately, among those who have that opinion, they have decided to practice selective amnesia and still support those “dumbasses” in the next election.
