While Mitt hunkers down with Rob Portman preparing for the Big Debate #1, the finest minds of the conservative blogosphere are explicating the themes that could win the debate for him, narratives that go to the heart of what is wrong with Obama's tenure in office.
Daniel P. Goldman, who also writes under the pen name Spengler, has explained in clear language the Obama sand in the gears that cripples our economy. He uses an excellent rhetorical device to do so, positing three groups of Americans
From PJ Media:
Our first case is one of five million Americans unemployed for more than 27 weeks:
A second American is part owner of a $20 trillion investment fund.
A third American is terrified that her pension fund will go bust (as the Illinois teachers' fund will some time during the next ten years, among many others).
He explains that American #2 won't invest in companies that would hire #1. The problem is that Americans are no longer investing in each other. It is the pension funds and other vehicles for retirement savings which dominate capital markets, and right now they only invest in safe instruments, low-yielding but less risky securities. The reasons are pretty clear:
We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world.
We have an administration that sandbagged one of the biggest contributions to energy independence to become available in decades, namely the Keystone project.
We have a regulatory environment that makes it next to impossible to build a nuclear power plant.
We have a health care program that puts the biggest weight of a new entitlement program right on the economy's weak spot - firms with fifty workers.
We have an administration that can't get its act together to steer the economy away from a fiscal cliff.

“Good for ya, Johnny Be Good! Do you think that anyone will notice, or care? “
clearly YOU care.
“I disagree with your principal of cutting off your nose to spite your face.”
Can’t you see that you’re doing the exact same thing in voting for a liberal republican?... just for the sake of getting rid of Obama?
“Vote for the most conservative candidate having a realistic chance of winning.”
There isn’t one.
Evidently, you see things as black or white with nothing in-between.
“Evidently, you see things as black or white with nothing in-between.”
Yup. There’s right and wrong.
Enjoy your moral gray areas with Mitt. I’ll be there saying “told ya” when he betrays his voters.
And naturally your view of right is always right.

That's fine, whatever he does wrong can't be worse that what hussein would do and all I'm doing is trying to get rid of hussein. Assuming you are being honest, All you are doing with your principled stand is working to reelect hussein.
You’re entitled to your opinion and so am I right?
It would be nice not to be attacked and insulted by people when you express that opinion too. Keep that in mind.
