Thank you!
With the exception of the term, "mitt-bot," I've never seen any reference to the idea that "Team Romney" as you phrase it, is obviously & blatantly orchestrated and paid.
Worse yet, they don't seem to mind that they are so obvious about it.
I'd never vote for him for ANYTHING, after how I've seen his "huge number" of supporters behave online.
There are also liberal plant posers who love to come here and purposely divide conservatives. Of course, the ones who jump on and say racists things are the most fun.
You and I have something in common.
The antics of the Mittbots brought two things in to perspective for me. First that Mitt has serious POLITICAL issues for Conservatives. Second was the number of his supporters that were using the same basic strategies and a uniform method that I have never seen before that lead me to realize that those particular posters were his religious peers. That in turn lead me to looking into the LDS faith and find them using the same patterns used in the "defense" of their faith in the form of a business here on FR.
I find promoting a religious peer despite their obvious and unacceptable shortcomings as it pertains to the very principles you supposedly espouse to be no more attractive from the LDS than it would be from the Evangelical Huckabots.
But it became abundantly clear that the LDS have much more practice in the arena of "selling".
One last little irony. I found the most disgusting and vile personal attacks on other Conservative candidates and their supporters, especially FDT, to come from the supposedly saintly LDS posters. Even more ironic several of them we ones that often post how wonderful they and their faith are on religious threads as well as being the first to yell Bigot and throw the victim card if their guy was even looked at wrong.
It really got to be entertaining for me.
