Who in God’s Name Is Mitt Romney?
His greatest passion is something he’s determined to keep secret

For those of us who don’t care for Obama it seems that unless one of the perennial third parties actually makes a name for itself (Americans Elect for instance), which historically is exceptionally unlikely, our other ‘choice’ is likely to be Romney (if it is Gingrich, I will be voting for Obama). I earlier had a post about his Mormonism and talked about conspiracy theories that suggested Romney was part of a long-range plan for the Mormon church to take over our government, but DaWei convinced me that was unlikely outside of a Hollywood script. Still, as the above article describes, we don’t know Jack about Mitt and that is either because there is nothing because he is an android (still conspiracy theories, just wildly different ones) or everything Mitt is has to do with his church, which brings us back to the Mormon takeover conspiracy. Of course it is entirely possible that there is no there, there and the reason why no one knows what Mitt stands for is because he really has no beliefs, which is, of course, almost as bad as the Mormon conspiracy because then we have to worry who will be nodding his head for him, standing in those shadows behind the throne. If I seem a bit melodramatic, I guess it is fear of the unknown. As bad as Obama is (and he is _really_ bad for the 99%) he is a known quantity, meaning we know for certain he will continue to enrich too-large-to-fail banks at taxpayer expense, continue eroding privacy and continue to shred the remnants of the Constitution, but who knows what Mitt will do? While I have no doubts Romney will continue the last several President’s efforts at enriching the oligarchy at tax payer expense, finish destroying privacy and stomp the final bits of the Constitution, what else will he do? How much further will he go? Why is he so reluctant to discuss his religion? It is very easy to believe conspiracy theories in this sort of environment!
