There is no doubt in my mind that Mitt Romney's true expertise is in removing important decisions from the people and awarding those decisions to himself. He's not bound by ethics or conscience, either, so there is no reason to expect him to work within the law.

We would be foolish to have watched Mitt steal the nomination, steal the voice of dissent from the moRons at the convention, and lie about every single important thing in this campaign, and not expect him to have a plan to steal the election itself. That, quite clearly, is his plan. We have only yet to see the details reveal themselves.

But it is equally obvious that Mitt is totally incompetent in a great many ways. He is pathologically dishonest, totally inept at diplomacy, unfamiliar with the details of virtually any issue one cares to name--or unwilling to disclose his familiarity because he wishes to do damaging things. He expresses total indifference to issues which are unprofitable or otherwise not self-rewarding.

In other words, Mitt Romney is exactly like the future Bush Administration was at this point in their own coup: vague, dishonest, unrevealing, dangerously ignorant about the things which they don't care about, and relentlessly intent on pursuing a secret agenda which has no relevance whatsoever to what they're saying and doing on the campaign trail. Then in practice they turned out to be a disastrous combination of stupid and evil all at once.

The results will be the same, too, should disaster befall us this time.
