IMO, and that of the owner of FR, anyone who supports Romney and/or Paul IS a mind-numbed robot.
I think the author makes a lot of sense.
Good grief, first off, I did not say anything about supporting Romney.
Secondly, my entire post was a comment on the ridiculous analytical framework of the article and the condescension involved in claiming that people with whom one disagrees are not thinking for themselves.
You, obviously, think otherwise. And you seem perfectly comfortable with the delusion that the only reason someone might disagree with you on who is the best candidate is that they are mind-numbed robots.
Sorry. I recognize and accept that most people are able to think for themselves and do. I don't need a bunch of psychobabble hooey to help me deal with the fact that people disagree with me sometimes. I don't condescend to people who reach different conclusions from me. I accept that they have their reasons and, if I am so inclined, I engage those reasons and set out countervailing arguments.
But to write an article about how a whole state is full of people unwilling to think for themselves — as “evidenced” by the fact that people are not supporting “your” candidate — is, in my view, a wagonload of lamentable tripe.
But suit yourself.
