Showdown.

Editor,

Romney's statements do not reflect the opinions of one man.

The entire Republican apparatus, from Fox News to Rush Limbaugh to the donors in that room to Republicans in the US House of Representatives and Senate, are imbued with this "job creators" master race versus an ocean of moochers ideology.

If there really are 40-something percent of Americans who buy this division of humanity into the innovative, industrious few besieged by a greedy, lazy many who want to "redistribute" worthwhile people's just deserts into their own inferior hands, then we are looking at something like a showdown in the USA.

That is why I decamped to Canada. I am fortunate in that I was a legal immigrant here once and am able to petition to have my status reinstated, so I can stay while my status is sorted out.

But there are heavily armed madmen out there in the USA who are incensed by the lies, which they believe, with which the Republican Party has been pounding them on the head for 30 years.

Something has got to give.

Best would be if those 40-something percent brainwashed Americans would wake up.

Unfortunately, there are millions of them who believe exactly what Mitt Romney said, and it isn't likely they are going to change their minds.
