So Romney takes advantage of the occasion. He goes there and makes a speech that is, really, I think over these people's heads, in the sense that his audience was much larger than just inside the convention hall. He's got the media there, and here's an opportunity for Romney to be himself, tell everybody what he stands for, what he believes, what he wants to do, what his problems are. It doesn't matter if he gets booed
That text is directly from his site - I not posting a link to his site on DU

Yeah, I know he's popular... that doesn't make him either accurate or good. (After all, Britney Spears has been selling albums in the country for a while now)....
Yeah, it's all stupid coming from Rush... which is why I wish those of us of the left wouldn't react every time he has a brain fart.

But the content of his speech was not over anyone's head.

(21,925 posts)Romney used the NAACP audience as a prop and took advantage of the occasion to deliver his spiel to a wider audience including his base. Saying it went over the heads of the audience in attendance is just another way of saying it was conservative dog whistle code that only fundies and bigots would able to grasp and that it wasn't intended for anyone else. Rare honesty from the pig.

I just think if you're lower income -- one, you're not as educated, two, they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the systems work, they don't understand the impact."
It's getting to where you don't even need a secret decoder ring to understand republican double speak.
Or their contempt of us commoners for that matter.
