Two years ago Romney told The Hill that Republicans “like modern, up-to-date dynamic regulation that is regularly revised, streamlined, modernized and effective.”"Modern" = unmoored from the Constitution.
"Up-to-date" = modern.
"Dynamic" = frequently changed per bureaucratic whim.
"Regularly revised" = dynamic.
"Streamlined" = easy to administer.
"Modernized" = up to date.
"Effective" = generates revenue; diminishes liberty.
The mental sloppiness of this aside, Mr. Romney may have a good understanding of what it is that "Republicans" -- at least the eviscerated, bloodless, spiritless ones of the present age -- like but, if so, they are far removed from people who are capable of living life without efficient and dynamic regulation of every aspect of their lives.
Free people don't like regulation and have every reason to fear it. They don't want clear, concise regs that are easy to administer and to understand. They don't want regulations, period, and they shouldn't give their support to someone who fawns over the very mechanism of contemporary state control.
