Mitt is It.

The core of Mitt’s campaign strategy seems to be the conviction that he can say anything and pay no price plus contempt for the voters and the news media. But maybe, he is mistaken, and his serial dishonesty will become, justifiably, the heart of the narrative from here until November 2012. His prevarication is such a routine part of his statements and those of the campaign that he seems to be something new on the political scene. Could he be the real life version of Pennywise the Dancing Clown also known as It? For those unfamiliar with Steven King’s novel, It is an inter-dimensional predatory life-form that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. In the 1986 novel of the same name, It primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
Like Pennywise, Mitt exploits the fears and phobias of his victims [American citizens] in order to obtain his dubious ends. Like Pennywise, Mitt is an intriguing deceiver. Mitt ignores the rules of logic as Pennywise ignored the laws of physics. Mitt has piercing eyes and a killer stare as did Pennywise. Mitt is not the Etch-A-Sketch candidate; he is the shape shifter candidate!
It is common practice of politicians and political campaigns to spin information and news in order to make the most favorable impression possible. This is understood by everyone with any experience as a campaigner or as a voter. Politicians and their campaigns are engaged in persuasive speech. At their best, they are also speaking the truth at least from some defensible perspective.
In this process both candidates and campaigns often float “trial balloons.” It seems that Mitt and his campaign believe “They all float!” Therefore, he and they do such things as feign outrage concerning the purported dismissing of Ann’s work as a stay at home mom three months after saying less affluent stay at home parents should be required to get outside employment so they can experience “the dignity of work.” If being a stay at home parent is as worthy a pursuit as the Romney campaign protests it is in April 2012 why did it lack dignity in January 2012? The lie in this comes in two parts. First, contradictory positions cannot both be true and second, if staying at home is dignified work for millionaire parents who often have considerable help, it would be even more so for less affluent parents who have to actually do the work they are staying at home for.
During an April 15, 2012, private campaign event in Florida Romney said, “We are behind when it comes to commentators on TV. They tend to be liberal.” Here he skillfully asserts the very cagey fabrication that the media is biased against Republicans. This serves several purposes, but the most important is to intimidate journalists who might be tempted to call Republicans to account for their numerous falsehoods. It is a smoke screen and a red herring. The most recent Pew Research Study of the 2012 Presidential Race reveals:
“One man running for president has suffered the most unrelentingly negative treatment of all, the study found: Barack Obama. Though covered largely as president rather than a candidate, negative assessments of Obama have outweighed positive by a ratio of almost 4-1. Those assessments of the president have also been substantially more negative than positive every one of the 23 weeks studied. And in no week during these five months was more than 10% of the coverage about the president positive in tone.”
Thus, Mitt presumes his deceptive characterization of the news media will insulate him from probing questions if he ever deigns to appear on even neutral networks. While many journalists may describe themselves as liberal, in their professional capacity they do not exhibit a bias against conservatives or those who pose as conservatives. If Mitt encounters hard questioning.
