Thank you... I think Romney (and Rep side in general) should make the demagogues pay the price. For example, yesterday's speech, in which Obama made a huge deal about the "Buffett rule". Sounds cool, but a very basic calculation shows that it would cover only about 0.25% of the deficit. One penny out of every 4 bucks. It is entirely possible that many people would get offended that the president is taking them for fools. This would make it more difficult to use cheap, innumerate demagoguery. Besides, IMO it is simply the duty of the Rep leadership to educate the public which they propose to lead.
