It is to make you just nuts.
Mitt Romney goes after the Republican NOMINATION for the candidacy to be President, with almost savage determination, but he has either much less enthusiasm for actually BEING President, or he is still not ready for prime time.
The great nagging doubt, that Mitt would not actually go “all in” for the marathon that is the general Presidential campaign, now seems to grip at the edge of consciousness for many of us.
Give us something, Mitt. We NEED red meat, and our craving cannot be denied much longer. Obama is vulnerable, he lacks many of the life skills to successfully stand on his own, and he as an identifiable legislative/executive record.
Melanin should NOT be a protective armor against criticism, and the moment ANYBODY shouts “Racist!” in response to that criticism, is the moment to turn to the heckler and ask how THEY would solve the problem, which clearly was the basis for the criticism.
NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE IN PRODUCTIVE JOBS! Make-work, in industries that have been given Federal loan guaranties so they may keep their doors open, but have no viable business model to become self-supporting; extended benefits programs for those out of work; excessive regulations on small businesses and start-up enterprises which prevent their further expansion or even lead to collapse; imposing of new taxes that are much more coercive than persuasive; and general disregard for lawful execution of duties under existing statutes.
These are just a few of the weaknesses in the record of the titular head of the current regime, which cannot honestly be called an “administration”, because they fail at so many of the responsibilities of the position.
I wish Palin would throw her hat into the ring at the convention. If she ended up getting the nomination we could say “You wanted us to vote for your boy. Well, we want you to vote for our REAL woman.” Then ask Rove and the rest of the GOPe if they’re truly going to support her.
Obama is campaigning every day and burning up his ad dollars at an alarming rate. Romney is on vacation yet the polls remain virtually tied. I think Romney is smart to bide his time, save his resources for a big push, then have a full court press from the convention to election day. He is waiting to let his momentum build when it counts, and meanwhile, Obama is shooting his wad to little avail.
