Some "tells"--when my BSometer goes off, I immediately check join-date. 1) Many are right around early fall, 2004. This would be just before the Kerry defeat, and was when I started getting a lot of garbage from Moveon.

2) Some of the Palin Deranged may be Romneybots, but they could also be pretending to be Romneybots. Any true Romney people should keep an eye out for these, because they'll hurt Romney as well as Palin (full disclosure, I held my nose and voted for Mitt in the primary, Thompson was already making dropout noises)

3) They have new rhetorical tells. I suggest reading this thread

to get a feel for the newer style.

4) Listen for posts that start out--"I love Sarah Palin, too, but she just doesn't have enough education or experience" and other memes. "I am concerned"

Your right. I have fell for it as well, thinking they are RomneyBots. I don’t like Romney, but even I don’t think he’s a bad person, I just disagree with him politically(especially about RomneyCare) yeah whenever you see a post saying “I like Sarah Palin but...” the second you see the word “but” you know its a troll, or someone pretending to be concerned about her

Some of the lord McCain groupies are in the mix as well. And the Paul drinkers, who think it is fine to 'earmark' our tax dollars for the purpose of buying votes, but it is NOT in our interest to stop these lunatic terrorist killers in their own sand pits.

I thank you for the thread and will give it a read. So much information to keep up with some days.

Unfortunately that is about when I joined but I assure you I started reading years before that. :)

You were saying ...

Any true Romney people should keep an eye out for these...

Any true Romney people should perhaps move on to their own board. I do not believe that the big guy (you know..., Jim) wants them promoting Romney here in any way, shape or form... :-)
