Obamunistas are saying that Obama is cool, and Romney is not. But cool to whom? Cool is in the eye of the beholder.
I have to admit that if you are an aging hippie who never grew up, still think that the counterculture of the 1960s was the highwater mark of American civilization, reject America's capitalist economic system as inherently unfair and uncool in the grubby pursuit of profit, see America's historic world-leading prosperity as crass materialism causing global poverty, and regard America's world dominating superpower military as the tool of global imperialism, you would see Obama as very cool for bringing your values into the White House. Ditto that if you are a mental infant throwback stuck in the last century who thinks global socialism and Che T-shirts are cool.
(snip)...Romney is personally carrying the flag for cultural conservatism like no other candidate could. If he wins, he completely shatters left-wing mythology and demonology regarding social conservatism, the top 1%, and Wall Street. This is why social conservatives and Tea Party conservatives should now come together and enthusiastically support Romney.
Add to that the rejection that would involve of the personal embodiment of the Left, Mr. Cool himself, the product of a 1960s hippie and a self-avowed African communist. Indeed, for the Barack Obama/Nancy Pelosi/MSNBC Left to rise to power, and then be repudiated by the voters, would be far more of a defeat for the Left, and victory for conservatism, than if the Left and Barack Obama had never won at all. For their ideas would then have been tried and failed and repudiated by the American people.

What alternate reality was this article written in? Romney, a conservative cultural icon? This is disgusting. I wonder how many people are stupid enough to fall for this stuff? I can understand the ABO mantra, but reinventing reality, embracing these lies, that’s a step too far.
Read the whole article. At the very end it talks about Obama taking credit for the killing of Osama Bin Laden and contrasts him with Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower, and George W Bush.
Romney has Obama’s obysmal (coined word) record to thank that he looks wonderful next to it. If this were a more competent Democrat, Romney wouldn’t have a chance. But Obama is the gift of a comedy of errors that keeps on giving.
I don’t agree with a few things in this article, but it is worth the read to see what the author has to say about Condoleeza Rice being floated as a VP candidate (a big no), and several other things.
RomneyCare.
It’s actually true that a fair segment of the left views Mitt Romney as a knuckle dragging conservative. Mitt in the meantime just grins as he begs to be painted as such a thing.
What you said, Jim.
It is what it is. I want Obama out of office because he is such an incompetent lightweight useful idiot. This is our chance to get him out.
And at one point Mitt was kiting the idea of making it a Federal program. I think he’s over and past THAT point, but still he does not seem to have any qualms over having wished it on Massachusetts.
Some kind of plan to try to do with honey what Obama appears to be on the verge of failing to do with vinegar?
He’s awful grandiose if he really thinks he can coax all 50 states into it.
“Romney is personally carrying the flag for cultural conservatism like no other candidate could.”
I totally agree.....if the author means Romney’s carrying it half-asssed and mealy-mouthed.
It’s actually true that a fair segment of the left views Mitt Romney as a knuckle dragging conservative.
How far left of Marx must they be?
LOL...true that Psycho Bunny!
A body doesn’t have to be “more lefty than Marx” in order to be walking around with no reason, no perspective. I never said it was true about Mitt, only that a lot of the left is seeing and painting him that way.
Oh good Lord, this author needs his stomach pumped stat!
A body doesn’t have to be “more lefty than Marx” in order to be walking around with no reason, no perspective.
Good point. One of my many faults is to assume that people either think rationally or at least are honest enough with themselves to admit their irrationality.
I thought surely the author was being facetious. Surely he is not serious. Nor does he think we are that stupid.
In the 60’s there was a commercial for Bandini which made fertilzer... and there was a whole mountain of Bandini in the commercial...”bandini, is the word for fertilizer”
This article reminds me of Bandini mountain...so much poo here that it stinks to high heaven
Conserservative cultural icon...indeed!
