BOSTON — GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney took down his Facebook page Monday and replaced it with the words “Go Away,” making him the first politician to use antisocial media to spread his detached message of aloofness and indifference to American voters.
The former Massachusetts governor said he views digital communication as “nothing more than a hindrance from which I haven’t yet figured out how to profit.”
“The poor don’t have Internet access, and the wealthy don’t need it,” explained Romney. “It’s the middle class I hope to alienate the most.”
To further the new strategy, the Romney campaign has also changed its web address to CouldntCareLess.org.
“Facebook and Twitter are great for people who have a soft spot for other people,” noted one staffer, “but the governor’s strategy is to separate himself from all humanity.”
“’We the People’ is a socialist concept,” said Romney, “and I’ll repeal it my first day in office.”
“If Americans want socialism, they should vote for Obama,” he added, “but if they want someone who’s antisocial, they should vote for me.”
