Didn't John Sununu already play that card?
I also note people contradicting that statement, and correcting misstatements made by those they generally politically agree with. So, yeah, this is not like a thread where the echo-chamber just ratifies the prior statements.
For the record, Romney is not a moron, and we should not be calling him such. He is a good business man, a bully, a man who while in HS publically humiliated those who do not fit his ideal of normal, and got his kicks in college impersonating a police office and pulling people over.
He has made a lot of money by taking advantage of the system, and at the same time using our bankruptcy code to privatize profits while socializing losses. To my knowledge he broke no laws (though one never knows whether he took advantage of a safe harbor on some of his foreign investments), and has continue to game the system as best as legally possible - and there is nothing wrong with that - except that his tax plan then continues to help game the system in his favor.
In my personal opinion ONLY, he is symbolic of what is wrong with our current economic system. He is accountable for nothing, but takes advantage of everything.
But, he is not a moron. He is calculating but without any firm beliefs other than winning at all costs. He is rudderless without any core conviction other than again, winning. He will do or say anything to anyone to get elected.
Truth is, those on the right should be afraid of Romney if he wins - you have no idea who or what he will be if he is President. He is on both sides of just about every issue. Just like his advisor admitted, he is the etch-a-sketch candidate.
