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

[Susan Fertig]

I realize, too, that I’m not sure which, if any, were your own words and not part of the review.  I took the quote marks to be the review portion and the top part to be yours, and I may have got that wrong.

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://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/09/real-romney-is-a-sneering-plutocrat.html> Jonathan Chait says the  <http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/09/17/romney_explains_obama_voters.html> 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."
