ON ENERGY:
Romney perhaps drew blood for pointing out that a gallon of gas in Nasssau was $1.84 when Obama entered office, and now it’s $4. Obama drew blood in return with his reminder that gasoline was relatively cheap when he entered office precisely because the U.S. economy was collapsing under Republican policies that Romney would supposedly like to revive. Of course neither made the obvious point that gasoline is only expensive insofar as the Obama dollar is very cheap; Obama failing to make that point for obvious reasons, Romney failing to make it because his economic advisers such as Greg Mankiw actually support the Treasury and Fed’s so far successful, and economy wrecking efforts to debase the greenback.
Gingrich would have crushed Obama. Sigh.
Good grief. John Tamny should take a look at the real wrold and real choices we face. BS on saying neither deserves to win. Romney deserves to win — and to win by a wide marging. Pell Grants can go to hell later.
The name made it into the debates and Mitt should hammer it all week to the next debate.
This writer watched a different debate.
And in spite of it all he still held his own through the attacks and got his message out.
John Tamney is a fool.
“There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats.”
I have, somewhere, virtually the same quote from Malcolm X!
It’s difficult to come off as a conservative with an audience full of libs. The candidate has to decide whether to play to that crowd and risk an adverse reaction; or play to the TV audience.
Thats what happens when Mitt’s “moderate” campaign obsesses on charming 4% of the voter dolts who have fantasy crushes on obama but won’t admit they will vote for him as a form of liberal guilt release, even if obama strangles puppies on live TV
Both will lose. See the remainder of the default process and other increasing possibilities ahead.
The more I read Tamny, the more I develop a tremendous feeling that he’s an arrogant jerk.
