I am losing more faith by the day in the supposed ‘intelligence’ of conservatives. Because I am not seeing much of it displayed. They ignore logic, history and demonstrated fact and instead, embrace magical thinking where none of that enters the decision process.

And “WE” are the problem....

They're terrified, for which I have sympathy, but ignoring Romney's history isn't going to make it go away. I remember talking to an older, liberal woman about Obama in 2008, shortly after the election. I asked her how she could have voted for him, given what he had promised to do. "Oh", she said merrily, "he didn't really MEAN that!".

With Romney, we have a history. A history that doesn't support what he claims to believe, that doesn't support what he claims to be.

It’s really no different than muslim apologists that don’t believe they ‘really’ want to kill infidels or that they don’t ‘really’ mean Jews are pigs when they say it in clear, unclouded terms. Then are shocked at terrorism and antisemitism.

And now an ABO will get into a tizzy because I made that comparison. Well? It’s the same ‘logic’ so why shouldn’t I? I’m not particularly concerned with soothing their consciences or making them feel good about their decision. They might not like it but the truth often is not plesant to hear...when it’s not on your side.
