i gotta admit i find all of this projection onto mitt really unnerving
based on the demonstrated reality of his policies, mitt is going to lockstep with destructive republican policies we've already seen. why people choose to believe otherwise seems like it couldn't be anything but a coping method

Yeaup. Those wonderful Northeners never made acid attacks against the Poor Man's March, their labor unions didn't disband immediately after blacks were allowed to join them, and they sure as shooting didn't run screaming from their cities when it looked like our government was going do the sensible thing and spread poor minorites out thinly so that slums wouldn't develop and they would see a faster rate of assimilation by poors into the greater culture. Nope nope nope.
They also never started shooting at a Black Panthers rally while McGovern was on the phone trying to get the Democratic Convention to open it's fucking doors so that innocent people wouldn't die. And since that never happened we can safely say that the backlash from this event didn't cause racist Democrats from the North and South to fuck off to the Republican Party and build a platform based entirely on race hatred.
And since the North isn't racist, America isn't, because those filthy scots-irish aren't human, let alone American! We're better than them! The last sixty years never happened!
Yo, that is the past. The modern reality of the north is that institutional policies like the NYPD stop and frisk disproportionately affect people celebrating Christmas.

This is Mitt Romney's plan.
If he told everyone what he would do, people would see the downside to his plans and vote according to how these things affect them.
So if he takes away the home mortgage credit thing, that'd be a big deal. People who like this would not want to vote for him. Instead he says "I'm closing loopholes and not telling you which ones" and you don't know what he's going to do. Maybe you'll assume he wouldn't get rid of a popular tax credit. Maybe you will just move on because there's no way of knowing.
Same with his taxes. People would be mad at him if he released his tax return- he and his wife have said as much! There are people who would vote against him because of it. But if he only releases the ones where he chooses not to claim tax breaks that he could have taken and can thus show he pays a hefty 14% interest, then maybe all the others are like that too! Maybe he's telling the truth about there being nothing bad in there!
To me, this is utterly revolting. A candidate should be answering specific questions about their views, their intended policies, their plans; I don't need exact dollar figures, but giving concrete, helpful examples (ie I will cut all kinds of things to save us massive amounts of money- like PBS and NPR!" is not helpful). If they can't or won't give even the pretense of giving me details, why the hell would I even think of voting for them?
Why would like half of America vote for someone doing this??? The whole premise of "it would hurt me to answer this so I am not going to" is the ideas are going to hurt you! arglebarglefsda3
hasn't romney explicitly said "I want to ban gay marriage and make abortion illegal"
how much more moderate is that, exactly
he said he didn't want to do those things and then a day later he said he wanted to do those things, or that he wasn's sure he wanted to do those things
which means it's pretty fucking silly for jasconius to claim he knows whether or not Romney is more or less in line with the GOP platform
See, at this point I'm not just voting for Obama simply because of his policies on social issues.
I'm voting for him, because Romney has spent the last several months blowing smoke, while his party tries to convince me that it's magic smoke that can fix America.

a liberal arts degree AND unemployed?
outlandish even by internet standards
Making $80k a year
is that real dollars or "gay bucks" which can only be spent in cities occupied by the lieberal elite
If this were true would he have had such a fight on his hands from Santorum early on?
but I'm happy to stick with my history major

santorum is in an entirely different spectrum then, like, bush and romney
he and bachmann are legitimately insane
all real dollars are fake dollars
all gay bucks are fake dollars
all gay bucks are real dollars

he's also much closer, politically, to the allegedly binding "GOP Party Platform" that so much ink was spilled over during the convention
Mitt Romney is more moderate than his congressional counterparts on the majority of issues. That's kind of what the entire primary was all about.
A somewhat terrifying thought
how much more moderate is that, exactly
Well he hasn't so far stated any plans to straight-up murder homosexuals, so
This is Mitt Romney's plan.

Big Bird is gay
the entire primary was about Romney convincing the republican base that he is just as conservative as the rest of those shitheaps
Yes, because Santorum also wanted to be president.
how does that work?
that's what the rest of the extreme conservative base is for

Well, not yet, anyway.
Yes.
racism means hating a group and libertarians only take individuals on their merits!
*masturbates furiously*
Um...so did Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Ron Paul pretty much never suspended his campaign since 2008.
By "a fight" I meant they actually managed to take some of the primaries, you goose.
he said he didn't want to do those things and then a day later he said he wanted to do those things, or that he wasn's sure he wanted to do those things
which means it's pretty fucking silly for jasconius to claim he knows whether or not Romney is more or less in line with the GOP platform
because nobody knows
well, how else are the mormons going to summon blood jesus from the earth

his sentient blood descended underground
you wanted to know why wine is the blood of christ?

"Romney's a moderate! Why else would he have put so much effort into convincing us otherwise?!"
That blood scene from The Thing could conceivably happen if you dipped a hot needle into every cup of transubstantiated wine.
It sounds like you should consider not voting for him, then
maybe you should too
They just kneel in silence.
And stare at bread.
That's it.
I just...I...I dunno guys.
