For the entity claiming to be \u201cMitt Romney\u201d that appeared onstage bore no resemblance to the Romney-like entity Americans had come to know in previous years. The moderate, conciliatory governor of Massachusetts was gone, his place taken by a strange, harsh figure who appeared to have been programmed by a disciple of Torquemada. Romney Version One had strongly supported a healthcare plan identical to Obama\u2019s; Romney Version Two denounced \u201cObamacare\u201d as opening the door to socialism. Beta Romney, who had defended a woman\u2019s right to choose, had been replaced by an updated model that, like a doll that speaks a few simple phrases when its bottom is squeezed, intoned \u201cabortion is immoral\u201d again and again.<\/p>\n<p>Different observers had different explanations for this strange phenomenon. Some maintained that \u201cMitt Romney\u201d had been originally programmed in the factory to flip-flop when politically necessary. Others held that the earlier version had been surreptitiously refurbished, or possibly completely replaced.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reboot the Romney-bot Since clinching the nomination, the candidate&#8217;s behavior has become even less recognizably human http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2012\/05\/02\/reboot_the_romney_bot\/ Very amusing!
