Romney followed that up on Wednesday by warning voters to keep their expectations in check about his promise to cut income tax rates by 20 percent, noting that deductions and credits will have to be eliminated to make that possible.
“By the way, don’t be expecting a huge cut in taxes, because I’m also going to lower deductions and exemptions,” Romney said. “But by bringing rates down, we’ll be able to let small businesses keep more of their money, so they can hire more people.”
The media is twisting and distorting every single thing Romney says and then knuckleheads on the right respond to the twisted messages rather than the actual messages.
The ‘struggles’,’disarray, ‘lack of focus’ ‘gaffes’ in the Romney campaign is primarily a manufacture of the media. The media sets the narrative and many of the pundits on the right get sucked into it. The complaints about Mitt from the right are then used by the left to further underscore the ‘problems’ with the Romney campaign.
