Rage against the machine
There is this classical definition of insanity, that is, to expect different result while doing the same thing. From what Romney allows the public to see, his economic vision is a steroid enhanced version G.W Bush's. Maybe he hopes that there are enough insane voters think that this time the outcome will be different. Or maybe he's hiding the details because if people took a serious look at them they would freak out. Romney seems intelligent enough to make me believe that he is a demagogue in the sense of Mencken, i.e., one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The dunces that voted for W the second time have short memories and may be buying the nicely packaged lotta nothing Romney is selling.
