I agree with you, but I think that, rather than frame it in terms of what Obama would give them, he needs to use the famous formula: “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything you have”. We are seeing that already in the thousands and thousands of pages of Obamacare; it claims to “give you” health care, but it demands that you pay a heavy price, either in taxes or in premiums or in taking away your choice of doctors and denying you a life-saving procedure if some gray, lifeless bean counter in Washington thinks the money could be spent better, say, for example, on new business jets for high-level bean counters.
I also think it is a mistake in any debate to concede that you won’t be able to change someone’s mind. I realize it has a certain rhetorical power, but at the same time it sends a message that the candidate has given up on some segment of the population.
Romney could not reach this perosn with a slegdehammer to the side of the head.
Squirrels in my back yard are smarter than this thing, and I mean considerably smarter.
I agree with you, obviously Romney will have to frame it better than I would..but its just so sad hearing these people calling into Hannity’s show begging for Communism, its unbelievable that in 2012 people still will become slaves to the Govt just to get some scrapes thrown at them..I dont think they give a damn about anything as long as they can sit their asses at home and wait for a check to come from the Govt..as long as they dont have to pay for it they could care less. These people need to go to Venezuela and see what Communism gets them there..nothing but tyranny. Romney has to explain the differences between living in Freedom and living under Communism(Yeah who knew that in 2012 we would actually have to EXPLAIN to people why Communism is a bad thing) if people want Communism, what more can be said..it would be the day that America cried
