Mitt Romney reminds me of the entire fantasy cast of Wizard of Oz.
Like the Scarecrow, his brain is suspect, and just two examples suffice: his $5 billion tax plan is “mathematically impossible,” most experts agree, and his “Jeep is moving all jobs to China” is simply untrue. Only a man with no brain would tout something that fails basic arithemetic, and would use scare-tactics with people’s jobs in Jeep-country Ohio, where workers are not as stupid as he apparently thinks they are.
Like the Tin Man, his heart is suspect, and only one example is needed here: He told an Ohio crowd he understood about the problems of cleaning up a mess like Hurricane Sandy because he once had to clean up a littered football field after a game. Just pitiful.
Like the Lion, his courage is suspect, and everyone knows what example I’ll use here: He hasn’t had the courage to stick to any position during this entire campaign. He’s been pro and con on every issue–totally refuting himself within days, misreprenting his own position to sound “friendlier” to a certain audience; pretending he didn’t say things he said–and does he realize there are videos of all these sound bites? He fits the old saw: “He’ll say anything to get elected.” And he has, the coward.
I don’t think I’m the only one who sees this pattern. I’m betting enough Americans do who will go to the polls and tell Mitt Romney they’re not walking any yellow brick road to his Emerald City.
