[Oe List ...] A good reflection on Romney

[Sunny Walker]

Now I realize I’VE drunk some Kool-Aid. Ick. How do we purge ourselves and
see truer and cleaner/clearer on both sides? No one has clean hands and even
each of us harbors some unsavory stuff. I’m working on sending receiving and
send love. Sometimes my reptilian brain takes over (gets into a terrible
“Brainstem-storming session!). 

 

By the way, research has shown this to be true: when viewing political ads,
the frontal lobes do not engage. We make decisions not based on what we are
seeing, but on what we have already decided. Interesting. So I wonder what
good the ads are? I guess only for the truly open and UNdecided. 

 

Working to be more open,

 

Sunny

Just for the record, not everyone on this listserv has drunk your KoolAid,
and I’m offended by your language in the message below and the one that
succeeds it.

<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/09/17/romney_explains_obama_voters.h
tml> hidden camera video that went viral yesterday exposes Mitt Romney "as a
far more sinister character than I had imagined. Here is the sneering
plutocrat, fully in thrall to a series of pernicious myths that are at the
heart of the mania that has seized his party. He believes that market
incomes in the United States are a perfect reflection of merit. Far from
seeing his own privileged upbringing as the private-school educated son of
an auto executive-turned-governor as an obvious refutation of that belief,
Romney cites his own life, preposterously, as a confirmation of it..." 

"The revelations in this video come to me as a genuine shock. I have never
hated Romney. I presumed his ideological makeover since he set out to run
for president was largely phony, even if he was now committed to carry
through with it, and to whatever extent he'd come to believe his own lines,
he was oblivious or naïve about the damage he would inflict upon the poor,
sick, and vulnerable. It seems unavoidable now to conclude that Romney's
embrace of Paul Ryanism is born of actual contempt for the looters and
moochers, a class war on behalf of his own class."
