Republican Insider: “I mean, what the hell does Mitt care about?"

[kpete]

.....a number of Republicans say the critical mass of public commentary reflects a larger issue. The daylight between Romney’s message on health care and the GOP’s “it’s a tax” mantra underscores the fact that he is not someone with deep ties to the Republican party — and the fact that he is doing little by way of fleshing out his policy plans isn’t helping.

“I worry the absence of policy comes from a general absence of passion/ideas,” said one Republican insider, who asked not to be identified criticizing the campaign. “I mean, what the hell does Mitt care about? What does he want to do? I don’t know.”

1. I thought he could just bash Obama and win but...

I think that is changing. He stands for nothing and everything at the same time. He has no direction I just hope he keeps it up.

2. Duh. Do you have to ask?

5. and no amount of $$ is going to fix that

I just think that the average folk is sick and tired of the rich (mitt) getting richer while the rest barely get by.

7. No matter what the mediocrity shows through

He's a wishy washy and a totally un-passionate dandy who has no clue how to act around people who aren't just like him. He acts as if we all have cooties and he's trying unsuccessfully to pretend we don't.

8. Ordinarily, I'd consider a lack of "deep ties to the Repub party" a good thing....

but not in this case.

W Mitt Romney has "rich bastard" written all over him.

9. In my opinion, he cares about

1. As much deregulation as possible.
2. As much privatization as possible.
3. Tax-cuts for the 1%.

Everything else he says is just pandering to the Teabagger base.
