“Second of all, stop blaming Mitt.”
Ironically given my very anti-Mitt record, I have to agree with you. He ran a competent campaign. You can’t win an election on jobs when the culture and electorate wants welfare.
I agree as well. Romney had the best run Republican campaign since the two Reagan ones and maybe GHW Bush in ‘88 (with Lee Atwater at the helm).
The takers simply outnumber the producers at this point. It’s going to take a massive crash/economic collapse to provide any sort of correction. Which is why I’d like to see Boehner and the House sit back and let sequestration, the return to the Clinton Tax Code (how it should really be portrayed rather than “extension of the Bush tax cuts”) and the non expansion of the debt ceiling really happen. The beauty of it all is that all of that stuff requires action to stop. Behave passively and it happens.
