What does Mitt Ramney think he is accomplishing?

He still thinks this is 2004 and voters give a shit about foreign policy. Even in 2008, pre-Lehman Brothers collapse, foreign policy was more important to voters than it is today.

And voters clearly and unambiguously think the guy who put a cap in bin Laden's ass, deposed Quadafi and ended the bullshit war in Iraq is doing a pretty good job on foreign policy.

The Obama people would be apt to say "hey you want to talk about something other than the economy? You want to talk about foreign policy? OK, we can do that. We can definintly do that."

He's making voters think twice about foreign policy. And--for him--it's not in a good way.

That the button in the voting booth is connected to the button which solely commands a nuclear arsenal.

What exactly do they think they are going to get with Romney? A unicorn? His policies are terrible for the middle class, and he can't withstand a factcheck.

As to foreign policy, he is surrounded by Bush neo-cons. I seriously doubt middle class Republicans want to escalate tensions in the middle east and try to start WWIII.
