I always like the idea of judging a person by his enemies.
If the left hates Romney, there has to be something to commend him.
The problem is the right hates Romney too.
“If the left hates Romney, there has to be something to commend him.”
You’d think so, wouldn’t ya? They hate him and seem to fear him. Maybe it’s pure hate. I dunno. Appears some of us do to. I’m wondering if it’s political at all.
Makes me wonder how many of the faux Conservatives on these boards aren't even real Republicans.
To win this or any election it is necessary for a politician to protect his voting base as much as possible while seeking to peel off a faction from the other side ~ usually on the basis of a demonstrable commonality of purpose or interest.
What you don't win with is turning into a pale imitation of the other side, or worse, in selecting a top end candidate who cannot be differentiated from their candidate.
That method is guaranteed to lose, or at best, make for a very lengthy vote counting session!~
“If the left hates Romney, there has to be something to commend him.”
If there was no Obama, and Romney was running with a D after his name, he would be godlike to the left. He is only hated for the R.
Nevertheless, despite my opinion of him dropping to utterly scumbag level from his tactics in the primary, I cannot in good conscience help Emporer Nero Kardashian Narcissus in any way. His pick of Ryan, has given me at least enough hope that he may do something right, and it sets up Ryan for 2016 or 2020.
