For all our "Romney shit the bed!" excitement about the 47%,
this statement is very true:
...if calling for a less progressive taxation system was enough to alienate
poor voters in the Deep South, the Republican Party would have already
lost its stronghold there.
Again: there's a difference between what a candidate's words SHOULD do, and what they actually do. I mean, look at this map:
Does anybody really believe there's ANYTHING Mitt Romney could possibly say to make him lose Texas? Or Alabama? Or Mississippi? South Carolina? Idaho? Of course not. No matter how many times the GOP reminds these people they're scum because they're not rich
("yet!"), they keep coming back in droves to vote Republican. So why wouldn't Romney say what he did, and then double down?
