Game, set, match for Mitt Romney
San Mateo Daily Journal ^ | October 6, 2012 | Dwight L Schwab

Posted on 10/06/2012 7:36:17 PM PDT by Navy Patriot

The term “cleaned his clock” took on a whole new meaning at Wednesday night’s first presidential debate.

An energized and textbook perfect Mitt Romney dominated a lethargic and tired-looking Barack Obama. To sum up the former governor’s performance, he outhustled, outfacted, outenergized and outinformed the incumbent. The lopsidedness of the verbal brawl was not lost on liberal ideologues such as Bill Maher and Chris Matthews who were quick to raise the white flag in round one of three televised debates this month.

It was as if Romney’s insomnia-inducing convention speech had never happened. The former governor commanded the stage focusing on economic issues and an easy-to-understand philosophy of limited government. He triumphantly mesmerized an estimated 60 million people as a pro-growth tax reformer. A president who would lower the rate and broaden the base in a revenue-neutral fashion.

Could it be he would actually create jobs and spur the economy? The nationwide sales presentation was a masterpiece from start to his effective close.

For many considering Romney for the first time, just maybe his ideas for tax reform could be a solution for which the country is looking. At intervals throughout the debate, Romney respectfully corrected the president on a number of issues including oil tax breaks, health care issues, job training programs in the federal government and even how Obamacare works.

RE:“....I lost my job and my health care and now I am having trouble feeding my three kids...”
..........
My answer would be “You lost your job BECAUSE of this guy over here..” (thumbs toward Obumble) “...and HE obviously wasn’t worried about people losing their jobs with his proven-unworkable failed economic policies. My administration will make sure that there is help available for people who truly need it.

She would reply (from memorized script from O campaign) :
I lost my full time factory job under president Bush and I found a part time job with NO insurance SO I have to buy it myself at twice the rate but no insurance company would insure my kids because they have (put scary sounding condition here) until the Affordable forced them to. He saved my children's lives, They would be dead today if it wasn't for our President (pauses with tears rolling down face) Obama. Please don't take away my children's health care to pay for another tax cut for Warren Buffet”

Didn't Romney say he would keep that part of Obama-care in place?

” HE’S in charge, HE wanted the job, and HE can’t just go on blaming everyone else for his own lousy performance in the last 4 years.”

Good one.

” Yes, it would be like this: “ I lost my job and my health care and now I am having trouble feeding my three kids who I wont be able to afford to send to a doctor if the Affordable Health Care Act is repealed. If you take away their health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich we might not survive, Why don’t you worry about us too?””

Romney: “ I want to meet with you after this debate, and review your situation. If this is ALL true, I will find a way to help you.”

I wonder how many folks have lost their jobs BECAUSE of the increased cost per employee due to Obamacare? I know there are anecdotes from company owners, and I imagine there are some statistics as well.

I just quipped to my accountant “I can’t figure out why I spent $3600 more on health insurance this year - I thought it was supposed to be free!?” (It is now more than my mortgage, property tax and home insurance every month!!!)

Silly me. Here’s a thread from today on companies cutting back so they don’t fall under Obamacare.

Romney could use you for a TV ad.

RE :”Romney: “ I want to meet with you after this debate, and review your situation. If this is ALL true, I will find a way to help you.”

Democrat Mom with three kids:
That sounds very generous of you but what about all the millions of single Moms who are just like me whose kids will lose their insurance if you repeal the AHCA?
The President says he cares about me and I believe everything he says because he talks like a professor and professors are real smart and scientific, just like the professor on Gilligans Island.
He graduated from college even though he is black and was once a slave to Republican slave owners until Martin Luther King passed the civil rights law and outlawed slavery and made them pay him reparations which went to his tuition. “

Liberals are really good at history :)
