It is fascinating. Not even a knee-jerk reaction. It is a push-button thermonuclear reaction.
Three characteristics.
1) Romney is satan and will bring eternal damnation on the nation, but Obama gets nary a peep.
2) Not only should Romney not win, but Obama should win in order to punish the right, RINOs, conservatives, Tea Party....and reward violent occutards, LGBT abortionist ecomarxists.
3) They won't be happy until we are all taught a lesson for not nominating someone who didn't even bother to run for the nomination.
I have very serious reservations about Mitt Romney. I think he is way closer to Harry Reid than he is to Ronald Reagan. He is from the Bush/Rockefeller/Dewey wing of the party which has presented every nominee for the GOP in my lifetime, except for two: Goldwater in 1964 and Reagan in 1980 and 1984.
We will have to hold his feet to the fire and keep him accountable. But he's still way better than the Marxist thug in the white hut.
One of the things which will enable me to hold my nose and vote for him is just thinking about the stark raving mad hissy fit these religious bigots will have should he defy the odds and actually be elected.
