To: Cincinatus' Wife; shield

"If someone comes in the door and says, ‘Mitt, black is white,' he'll say, ‘Oh, no, black is black or black is red,'. He never takes anything at face value; he can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think he's like really believing his argument, but he's not."

-- Ann Romney

Your quote intrigued me and I looked it up. Talk about propaganda. You act like a Leftist.

Here’s the quote in context:

Lucid Business Sense

Along the way, Mitt founded Bain Capital, a venture capital firm that now has assets of $40 billion. In evaluating whether to invest in a company, Romney would play devil’s advocate to flush out facts.

“If someone comes in the door and says, ‘Mitt, black is white,’ he’ll say, ‘Oh, no, black is black or black is red,’” Ann says. “He never takes anything at face value; he can argue any side of a question. And sometimes you think he’s like really believing his argument, but he’s not. He just flushes the whole thing out and figures out the whole picture.”

At the same time, Romney expects those around him to do their homework.

“If he’s in a meeting and someone doesn’t have the right data, hasn’t prepared well, they know that they’re in trouble,” Ann says. “I think he’s a bit intimidating that way, because he’s so bright he cuts through a lot very quickly. He thinks in hyper-speed, and he expects people to keep up with him, and sometimes they don’t.”

Don’t lie to win. The truth is what we are looking for.
