I realize that your comment was made before Rush's radio show today, and Rush covered the logic of Romney's lack of defense it yesterday's debate.
And I don't haver Glenn Beck's "theBlazeTV", yet. I have to get him where I can, mostly youtube.com.
But I do not share Romney's sense of refraining from the matter.
As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Have you seen
Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Watch it, then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video
Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.
Romney needs to remember General Nathan Bedford Forrest required only one:
"get there firstest with the mostest".
I could not agree with you more more or more deeply share your desire to see Barak Obama exposed for the evil that he is and to see him utterly repudiated by the nation as a sign that we are turning our face away from the Marxist siren.
I have posted that I want Romney to lead a crusade but he insists on leading a campaign. Therefore, I have to constantly remind myself of what John F. Kennedy in a rare fit of candor said, "first you gotta win."
It is quite apparent that Romney has made a judgment that he should attack Obama not as a Marxist but as an incompetent. Similarly, in the debate last night he made a judgment that the potential reward did not justify the risk of confronting Obama on foreign policy issues but the prudent course was to stick to the need to show himself as being a plausible commander-in-chief. He was campaigning not crusading. In that I believe he succeeded.
I also believe the culture trumps politics and that is why I have for so many years on these threads been exploring the danger posed to our constitutional system and to a conservative way of life by the culture worms of The Frankfurt School, Cloward and Pivin, and Saul Alinsky.
As a candidate, Romney is saying my first responsibility is to get elected. My question is, what will he say as president? I am prepared to give him some leeway now to get elected but I have already posted that 48 hours after his election (I want to give him a chance to savor his victory) we conservatives had better start laying down the law to him.
Allow me to close on an anecdote. As a student in 1964 I fervently supported Barry Goldwater and attended a rally. On the way into the rally we noticed a host of people who could not gain entrance because they did not have tickets but they were enthusiastic supporters as well. After the rally I turned on the 11 o'clock news at home and was absolutely astonished to see, contrary to the evidence of my own eyes, that the supporters of Barry Goldwater had been transformed through the magic of television into protesters against him. I have never forgotten that incident.
Romney knows that if he gives the media an opening they will destroy him.
I have almost no insecurity about Romney's courage but I am skeptical of his philosophy. It remains to be seen whether he has real conservative instincts in his body. I think he has the intellectual and moral courage to carry out whatever philosophy he does have, an inference I draw from his biography (not his political biographie as much) and from his faith. We shall see.
Thank you for the heads-up about Trevor Loudon I have looked at the videos and other videos as well with great interest. I buy the communism connections completely, I do not dismiss them as tinfoil hat stuff, I believe they constitute a mortal peril for the Republic, I think they explained entirely the career of Barack Obama and the present condition of the George Soros dominated Democrat party.
