“For months, Republican Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign has been built on broad themes: cut taxes, repeal and replace Democratic President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul, increase defense spending. But when it comes to specifics - namely, how to pay for the tax cuts and extra spending, and what exactly a Romney healthcare plan would look like - Romney has been reluctant to give details, essentially gambling that Americans’ frustration with high unemployment rates and a struggling economy will be enough to propel him to the White House.
Now, with polls showing that Obama has taken a slight lead in the race after the Republican and Democratic national conventions, increasingly anxious conservatives are calling on Romney to spell out more of his plans - even if it risks alienating some undecided voters…
Romney’s advisers say they are sticking with their strategy and not panicking. A Romney adviser from outside the campaign said there was nothing to be gained by putting out a specific plan on issues such as his tax-cut proposal because it would have to be negotiated with Congress.
“When he’s president, it might call for him to put out a more specific plan to negotiate with them. But there’s no reason for him to put out a detailed tax reform plan now,” the adviser said. “It’ll just allow the Obama campaign to shoot at it and not put out a plan themselves.””

How fucking arrogant is this shit? “When Mitt’s president, he might let you people know what he’s thinking, but for now, we’re not stooping to the level of letting people know what we actually plan to do.”
