I agree, and have said it before. Newt pleaded nolo contendere at the debate when Romney fired off a hail of “resigned in disgrace” at him. He should have refuted that on the spot. You have the floor, a nationally televised debate, that’s no time to be providing a bibliography entry called newt.org.
Several people on FR jumped on me for suggesting that seniors in FL get their input from the tv, not the internet; but PPP comes to the same conclusion. Seniors are breaking for Counterfeit Mitt.
Spoke with a, probably, typical elderly Floridian yesterday. She’s been using her computer for about 15 years. Has no idea how to get news off of it. Doesn’t know how to switch a radio station. She depends on TV news.
Says “well we were going to vote for Newt, but did you know he had ex wives?. . . Romney has a good family! I hope he doesn’t appoint czars, if he appoints czars, well . . . But did you know Newt was removed from his seat?”
Doesn’t matter that this woman excuses her own son’s and her husband’s extramarital affairs. Doesn’t matter that Newt admits wrongdoing and acts repentant, or that Romney already has czars, because Ann Curry has spoken and the Blitz of ads has done it’s mind control over the masses.
Of course, I argued a good case and she promised to rethink, but that’s not the point. Romney knows what he’s dealing with in Fla. Newt needs to get ahead of him in his thinking. A few good debates and endorsements are just not going to be enough.
Anyway, it’s Sunday.
Let’s pray, pray, pray for our country.
