people are beginning to pay attention. Most voters probably do not know about all the other stands that he had until the debate. The GOP strategy was a brilliant if totally dishonest if not even immoral move on their part. There 67 million watchers many of them new. Romney looked like a moderate even though behind closed doors he is a flaming extremist. He was a totally different candidate that night. On the stump he is back to his old self.
His message to me is that the "whites" have to take America back" from minorities and socialism. The Republicans who support him are just as blind as the Germans were to Hitler.
Obama was not prepared for someone to almost take over his positions on issues. There was no way to debunk a fusillade of 27 lies and distortions in that format. The problem is that some voters fell for the scam and the media pumped Romney up deliberately even though everything he said was totally opposite of virtually all of his previous positions.
In private the Romney agenda is even much more extreme than his public stances even now. There is an even deeper more radical agenda waiting in the wings if we elect him. And there are things the GOP is up to that would surprise even their supporters and whose implementation will royally screw working class Republicans.
The GOP is hell bent on getting rid of the minimum wage. And they are hell bent on just stopping Medicare altogether. As far as I am concerned when Medicare reaches insolvency they will just stop it rather than even couponize it. They would do the same to Social Security as well given all the power..
As radical as what I say sounds, I hear so much chatter from Republicans themselves that we need to just stop it dead. Republicans I know think that Social Security and Medicare really only benefit minorities they are that jaded. The nonsense I overhear from many of them around me make one shudder.
