Except, of course, when focusing attention on his personal history involves pointing out instances from it that you don't want people to talk about. When people do that, then they're just "using Alinksy tactics" to "freeze the target" and "assassinate his charactre."
I suspect not a few people around here easily fall for conspiracy theories....
Well, I'm not sure where "conspiracy theories" come into play, since we can all read a freaking newspaper just as easily as anyone else. I mean, seriously, do you think it's a "conspiracy theory" to point out, for instance, that Romney signed into law an "assault weapons" ban modeled off the federal ban, or that Romney helped to give Planned Parenthood a permanent spot on the planning board for his health insurance plan, or that Romney did in fact help to raise taxes in Massachusetts, while leaving the state with a $1 billion dollar budget deficit and a 7% greater overall tax burden than when he took office, or that Massachusetts was losing its position as a leader in tech jobs and innovation during "Governour CEO's" tenure?
Really?
That's all just our imagination?
Like, reading a Massachusetts Technology Collaborative report is equivalent to sitting in our mom's basement with tin foil on our heads and one of those "I want to believe" UFO posters on the wall?
Seriously?
Once again, I didn't start off as a "pro-Romney people." But he's the best candidate standing right now; one who has a good chance of being elected President. And that helps me with "Job One": removing a criminal conspiracy from the Oval Office.
That's such short term, knee-jerk thinking.
Sorry, but you still haven't made your case. You've failed at that objective. You're not telling us why your candidate deserves our votes. Simply pointing at Obama and hooting isn't enough. You're not convincing us that Romney will be much better. Great, so Romney's not a "criminal conspiracy." Precious little good that does me when he's still maumauing a GOP Congress into raising my taxes while putting pro-gay judges on the bench and stumping for another "assault weapons" ban.
You know, if I were confident that Romney really and truly wasn't going to etch-a-sketch us the first chance he gets, but that he really and truly was "evolving" into a more acceptable conservative who wasn't just telling people what they want to hear so he can ride into office on their votes, only to treat them like the redheaded stepchild that conservatives usually get treated as by these GOP-E types, then I'd be willing to support him, or at least vote for him. But I just don't have that confidence.
After the Chicago machine style manipulations in Michigan, there’s no reason to believe he’s any different than Obama.
Dear Yashcheritsiy, you are awesomely good at attributing motives to me.
But how do you know these things? Do you understand my heart, my love for the Logos? Do you understand what I think, how I reason, how I feel? Do you understand my life experiences, what they mean to me, and how they have helped me to grow — after many wrong turnings — by the Light of Christ, with the aid of the Holy Spirit — all thanks and praise be to God Our Father Who Art in Heaven?
Hallowed be His Name, now and forever!
If you don't understand those things, then you don't know the first thing about me.
But here's a truth I have learned the hard way: We tend to see in others only what we see in ourselves. "If we misbehave, we suspect others." Beware of inadvertent "confessions of character."
I really wish you would stop trying to make this conversation "all about me." It just somehow looks like you're trying to "play God."
But do you know what God knows? Do you understand how He judges?
You seem to think you've "got all the facts." But if you can't fit them into a reasonable explanatory framework that matches up with the world of reality, both natural and spiritual, then those "facts" and any combination thereof are essentially meaningless.
And thus of no real help to you at all.
JMHO, FWIW.
Thank you for writing, dear Yashcheritsiy. May the Peace of Christ be with you.
