I can’t disagree with the basic arguments you are making on this thread, but I have to disagree with your praise of this particular ‘stunt’. It’s just plain dumb. It’s not funny or cute. It’s not even an effective insult. If anything, it stems from the whole idea that the Democrats are ‘opponents’ and not our enemy. Hey, we’re all on the same side, doing the same job, so let’s share our pizza with the Obama campaign workers.
When your enemies consider you their enemy and you only consider them ‘opponents’, you have ZERO chance of winning.
If anything, this little stunt highlights exactly what is wrong with Romney and his ilk and precisely why they should be avoided at all costs.
“FR is a thin slice, though excellent, of the American political landscape”
Thank God you realize that unfortunate fact as well. When we understand that the average-uninformed-but legal-to-vote-American-public DOES NOT CARE about politics, and DOES NOT FOLLOW THE ISSUES, we will stop deluding ourselves into looking for a perfect conservative candidate. It’s not as simple as policy. It won’t work, most especially if there is no appeal on other levels. The nonsense of believing otherwise will return Obama right back to the White House. Depressing, yes. But it’s reality in this culture.
