In reply to the discussion: Watched a guy call the bluff of a room full of Romney supporters yesterday [View all]The Doctor.
(17,266 posts)28. No, what he did was make them face their doubts.
Wingnuts LOVE to brag, boast, and generally just make noise about things, but as soon as they are forced to face reality, they suddenly realize they may be in over their heads.
Take the tea-partier on social security who says he wants to abolish social programs. Ask him to sign a petition saying that he wants to get rid of such 'government largesse' and personally wants nothing to do with any government 'hand outs' or social programs of any kind. Watch him sign it with gusto and a smile, put on a real show of what a 'stand on his own two feet' guy he is. Then tell him, and everyone that signed it how proud you are of their self-sufficiency and independence from government hand-outs and how you're going to make sure that every name on the list goes straight to the social security and medicare offices so they know how independent and unwilling to take tax dollars all the signers are....
Then watch his face.
No, what this guy in the restaurant did was force those twits to actually think of all the stupid shit Romney has said and done, and about what his chances really are.
And they didn't like the reality they were forced to face.

Those were probably the kind of voters who just vote by who they think is going to win too.
