They come off as such minimalizing worms. A couple of heartless technocrats. A very, very base level of moral reasoning going on there. It doesn't say a hell of a lot about their character. In a lot of ways I'm really glad the Romneys are Mormon. The LDS church has lots of rules. Could you imagine what he'ld be like if he didn't have some sort of external code of conduct to take literally and follow?
That's why the thought of Romney in the Whitehouse just turns my stomach. This is a man who would not hesitate to use the NDAA! He would see it simply as using all the tools available to him as President that the letter of the law allows him to use.
Can you imagine this man strictly following the letter of the law with NDAA, the Patriot Act and the rest of the rights roll-backs we've had in the last 11 years? Stop and think about what this country would look like. Can you fucking imagine it? Horrifying! Isn't it?
