As a weathered FR veteran reader of Romney supporters' tone, for lack of better word, I figure it's to be expected from them. They must easily hold the record for being of the mindset that immediately reverts to "You hate ..." (and all appropriate variations thereof) such-and-such or whatever, Mormonism or Romney or Romney supporters. They could conceive no other possibility than "hate" as the driving force of the opposition.
I figure about half of Santorum supporters are closet-Romney supporters, which goes a long way to explaining any similar tone in Santorum backers' posts.
Do Romney's supporters "hate"? I don't know. I do know that desperation sounds a lot different, and will stoop a lot lower, than passion.
I'm a Newt supporter eyes wide open to his many flaws, but willing to roll the dice on him being the best bet of anybody in the race to beat Obama and then cut taxes and government drastically to start getting things moving toward liberty and prosperity. Moralizing is NOT what will set our nation right; CUTTING ITS GOVERNMENT WILL.
Godspeed Newt.
With what Newt knows, prosperity grows.
Newt is running for the loan of the Presidency.
