The Real Mitt Romney

I'm 'fixated' because that's what my post was about originally and you keep pivoting away from that.

And which other two statements? I've only said one thing, the correct thing, confirmed by your own statements even, in several different ways.

If you were a Conservative, you would be excited by the Romney campaign, even though he's a middle of the road, type.

This right here is why I don't subscribe to a label. I also have no party/political stickers on my car or signs in my yard. Once you do subscribe, then you are more or less told what to think by your fellows, must submit to the collective beliefs associated with that label, and you will (publicly), if you want to remain in Good Standing with your party/affiliation. And if you happen to be more independent than that but still wish to wear the label, you're still tagged as a supporter of things you may actually abhor. The parties want loyalty, people like to feel they 'belong' to something. And if you don't lock-step, your label is revoked and you automatically become one of the labels your chosen label is supposed to hate. And then you're supposed to feel bad and either live a life of shame or pander to be reinstated. Bugger all that. Life's too short for that nonsense.

Frankly, no candidate for any position, local, Congress or President, gets me excited anymore because I know how the game of politics is played. I show my political support by voting. So, as a voter, I am highly critical of all sides and keep emotions out of it because I know as soon as I let myself have a favorite, it'll be easier for them to pull wool over my eyes.

Because the favorite can do no wrong.
