RE :”The trouble with Romney—and for Romney—is that he has etched an unappealing sketch of himself. For independent voters, he made too many flip-flops in policy to appease the right. Indeed, he had an uncanny knack for offering an easy target for his opposition: “I like being able to fire people,” “I'm also unemployed,” “I'm not concerned about the very poor,” and “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.” He seems to be living in another world, referring to middle income as being in the range of “$200,000 to $250,000,” when the median income is more like $50,000. By the way, after four years of Obama’s economic stewardship, that figure represents a dramatic decline of 10 percent and, in fact, is a strong point to Romney's case against the administration.
Such careless remarks have made it easy for the Obama campaign to get away with a program that pits “the millionaires and billionaires” against the people.
........
Instead of making this part of his own case, Romney has exposed himself to the charge that he is out of touch, out of sympathy, and clueless about the lives of the mass of Americans.

Romney is exactly the WRONG person to argue for accomplishment over dependence. He always has been. I NEVER saw how he could win this debate and he has been proving my point by shooting his own side with stupid comments.
Grover Norquist's claim that Rs can put up an empty suit who only needs to be able to veto or sign bills was not thought out.

I don’t dispute what you say. He has shot himself in the foot more than I would like. On the other hand, the stooge on the other side has shot himself in the head more times than Romney has shot himself in the foot.

The media slant on things is that Romney has destroyed his chances at being president. Never-mind that Obama has broken every cardinal (electoral) rule known to man by this point. He’s still the great foreign affairs sage, so good with people here at home. Why he’s leading us out of this terrible Bush/Republican recession.

I mean the comedic value of what the media foists off day after day, is priceless. It’s destroying itself.

November 6th, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going to be elected to be the next team to inhabit the White House. And it’s not even going to be close. And when that happens, the pollsters, the pundits, the DNCp and all it’s many tentacles will be laid bare for all to see.

It’s over DNCp.

I believe we’re going to see a hew and cry for the death of the organizations that have been lying to us. It’s going to be ugly. It’s way past time for it. I’m going to make a point of looking up who advertises on them, and I’m going to make sure they don’t see a dime of my money ever again.

BTW: That being said, this is going to be a rough next four years. I don’t think Romney is going to represent US. He’s going to represent the Rovian/Cardian/GOPe brand of Republicanism, something so far from our vision that we’ll have to look back to the November 7th news, to remind ourselves which team he was representing.

I don’t care which team is elected, I still expect to see us $25 trillion in debt by 2020.

One almost suspects he’s not saying everything he could, because he doesn’t want to be held responsible when none of it comes true.

If he starts the..., “Well, Obama handed off such a mess”, routine, I’m going to be yelling for a short rope and a high branch.
