Mitt Romney 2012: Because no one really wants to hear the truth anyway, right?

As Maggie Haberman observed in Politico, Romney has made a calculated decision to hide three major elements of his background: his Mormonism, his record at Bain and his time as governor. This creates, she wrote, “a kind of self-imposed paralysis on biographical messaging that some observers, including Republicans, say may wound his campaign in an era in which voters want to achieve a kind of unprecedented intimacy with their candidates.”…. So far, Mitt’s casting a shadowy silhouette, hiding his fortune in foreign tax havens, hiding tax returns, destroying and hiding records as head of the Olympics and as governor, hiding a specific sense of where he would take the country. Americans don’t want to play hide-and-seek with their presidential candidates. Romney should listen to himself: The time for stonewalling is over.

Mitt Romney: Too Wimpy for the White House?. Romney dodges reporters and excludes them altogether from some events. He refuses to release more than two years of taxes. It’s not a stretch to say that Mitt Romney is a candidate afraid that someone will discover his horrible secret(s).

Hiding in Plain Sight: There simply aren’t resources to cover up everything that Mitt Romney wants to hide from public view. He’s doing the next best thing, trying to divert attention to Barack Obama while he hopes no one notices the epic depth and breadth of his hypocrisy.

First Thoughts: Judging Romney’s overseas trip: Hmm…the words “miserable” and “embarrassing” leap to mind….

Romney Angers Palestinians, Top Aide Calls His Comments ‘Racist’ During Jerusalem Trip: And he pissed off most of the UK on his trip to London. Say what you will about the man; at least he’s consistent.

When Will Media Ask Romney About Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy His Campaign Surrogates Support?: If Michele Bachmann can ask the question….

Romney Aide Explodes At Media In Poland: ‘Kiss My A—’: Stay classy….

He Speaks: When lies are your currency, people like Mitt Romney will never go broke. Like he needs to worry about that, anyway….

Why Romney keeps attacking things Obama didn’t say: Uh…because Romney knows that he can’t begin to compete on the issues, so his only hope lies in skillfully practicing “The Big Lie?”

Walesa proclaims solidarity with Mitt: Somehow, I think that the former head of Poland’s Solidarity union has NO idea just how much Romney hates unions.

Romney Lauds Poland as an Economic Model: He should; his economic plan will bankrupt America. Poland will probably be far better off.

Mitt dings media for gaffe coverage: All Romney has to do in order to keep this from happening again is one very simple thing: shut up.

Mitt Romney’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Trip To Europe: Let’s face facts, shall we? Romney’s so devoid of character and charisma that he makes a wooden Indian look animated.
