The Romney Readiness Project as described by MSNBC.com
reads on the surface like a dainty process for ensuring the smooth transition from one fine man to the next...typical "fine" journalism, wherein no one bothers to ask a follow-up question, like "What was the political thrust of the work completed?"
The sentence I found fascinating was that which described the fact that they had already written Executive Orders. We can only imagine what these orders would have meant to the average woman and man in these United States. My guess, no, my assertion, is that they included removal of many of the linchpins of the Federal Government's scaffolding which keeps us free, healthy, in control of our own lives to the extent that we still are, and able to pursue what ever we wish, again, to the same extent that we already can.
This guy was a grave danger to Liberty, make no mistake about it. His blank slate, his Etch-A-Sketch mentality and ability to lie at will, to insult at will, to denigrate at will and to destroy at will all in the name of his God: no not THAT God, the other one, the one with the picture of Benjamin Franklin on it. I firmly believe that now that he has been relegated to the Rethug Dustbin by his own Rethug Party, for crying out loud, we will begin to hear tales of his mental incapacities which I and many others have sensed all along. This was a disgraceful candidate who ran a disgraceful race, unbecoming and offensive to anyone who had a shred of decency or common sense. On top of all my emotions concerning this election, I am just perplexed. The only rationale I can envision for running a campaign in the fashion in which he did is that he knew, or thought he knew, that it was a rigged game, and he really didn't count on losing, not because he was confident in himself, but because he was told that it was in the bag. The last time I heard about something like this was the tale that when Nixon went down to the Pepsi shareholders' meeting in Dallas, Texas in November of 1963, he was approached to run for the Presidency again. He demurred, stating that the Kennedys had a stranglehold on the White House for years to come, and he was met with the reply, paraphrased, that "things can change in that regard." Apocryphal? Maybe. The truth? Quite. Romney had the same assurances - he did not assume that all by his lonesome, in my humble opinion.

...and he doesn't know a thing about America, other than to grab all he can, as fast as he can, by whatever means necessary.
That was a central theme of The War Wagon and for Mitt's brand of Manifest Destiny.
Thank you for the heads up on his plans and XOs, Doctor. Mitt thought his side had paid more than enough to win.
