Romney is hard to figure. Certainly he is not a stupid man; indeed, far from it. And he is probably the most decent man who’s run for pres in many, many years.
But how is it that these goofball statements come out of this mouth. Is there a bypass route around his brain that just lets idiocies blurt out and works to sabotage him at incredibly inopportune moments?
I just don’t get it. He didn’t get where he is financially by just looking at the “next” step and doing something apparently intelligent about it. He has to be a multi-step planner. He seems to lack something in the “rehearsed comments” of the vocal library; by that I mean, when you have no particular idea of something to say, revert to repeating a tired but tested utterance of some sort that fulfills the human tendency to reply to questions.
This is like being a guitar (other solo) player in a band. Not every night can you come up with a piece of total brilliance, of pure originality. But you have to drop a solo in this particular spot. The better approach is to recognize that you can’t be a fountainhead of creativity every instant, and sometimes you have to drop in a prefab something or other.....at least to get going. To you, it’s cheaping out and it probably sounds corny. To anyone else...it’s just notes that go by that they’ve never heard before and it makes not the slightest bit of difference.
But Mitt never hung out with a garage band. And it shows.
I don't want a President who hung out with a garage band.I want a President who's *better* than me...*smarter* than me...*more* accomplished than me.The senior President Bush never hung out with a garage band,whereas "The Most Ethical President In History" (Trademark,Democrat National Committee) did.President Eisenhower *fought* the terrorists,both in uniform and after he had hung up his stars.Osama Obama was *schooled* by terrorists and proudly proclaims it (except,of course,for having claimed to have never met Bill Ayers or Bernadine Dohrn in his life).
They say that "when robbing Peter to pay Paul,one can always depend on Paul's cooperation".That's the secret to the Rat Party's success.Romney,OTOH,wanted to encourage Peter to fend for himself,something that 90% of the American people did 30 years ago...and about 40% do today.
“Romney is hard to figure.”
Think you hit on it. “He never hung out with a garage band.”
Romney couldn’t connect with the average voter. He isn’t comfortable in crowds. He is great behind the scenes helping the less fortunate, but, like most of us, isn’t comfortable talking about it.
Romney can blame his campaign, but I’d respect him more if he also excoriated the media, the illegal democrat votes, and the lying, sleazy character assassination of the Barky campaign.
It wasn’t the 47% comment that lost it for him. It was not telling the American people that the Left can only win by viciously destroying any opponent with lies, because they can’t win with their agenda. And then not countering those lies head on.
What is your definition of 'decent'? Approval of same sex marriage and socialistic healthcare which includes abortion? Under his governorship, he made his state the first state to approve it all.
I'll say you never knew the man - just 'the appearance of'. See how evil works? Satan appears as a creature of light to draw us to himself and his lies and can only do it to those who don't care/know any better.
He is not a decent man, he is a fraud.
