re: #9 Charles

Mmm-kay — so we should just forget about the fact that Newt Gingrich just trounced Mitt Romney by pandering to the lowest kind of racist ugliness?

If you want to ignore that context, you’re free to do so. I can see what’s in front of my face, and this is Mitt doing what he needs to do to be elected.

When Mitt doubles down and makes it part of his strategy I will agree and will be the first to admit my error. Until then I will not ascribe motives of this kind to someone based on the context of what his rivals have said.
