Mitt Romney demonstrated classic straw man argument tactics tonight

1. Oh, those Democrats, they think the solution is big government and raising taxes.

--Conveniently forgetting that the Bush administration presided over one of the biggest government expansions in history, and that the "raising taxes" that Obama proposes is simply a roll back of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 3 percent of Americans. But that's too convenient for this moron to forget.

2. We need to kick those liberals out of Washington!

--Conveniently forgetting that 6 of the last 8 years have seen Washington dominated by conservative Republicans, and the 2 years that Democrats have dominated Congress have been crippled by Bush's vetoes. (Not that I'm making excuses for the uber--pitiful Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who might as well offer themselves up on the platter of history for their wimpiness.)

3. The Democrats don't understand that EVIL NEEDS TO BE DEFEATED.

--Conveniently excluding any sense of nuance, which intelligent people usually see in any issue. It's not that OBL isn't a bad man, but if there's anything we've learned from the last 7 years, it's that we can't defeat terrorism and extremist ideology with a flyswatter alone. We need to begin to win the battle of ideas and ideology, and to relate to the people who might otherwise be disposed to this ideology. There is a time for brute force and a time for intelligent discretion. Unfortunately, Mitt Romney and his man John are demonstrating that all they know how to do is the former. YEAH, THAT's THE GUY WE NEED!

Whatever.

Go home, McCain. As an American, I officially reject the Repubs as American citizens.
