The other day, I passed a Republican-party county office here in my home state, its window attractively emblazoned with placards declaring “Believe in America. Romney 2012” and “New Hampshire Believes. Romney 2012.” There’s not a lot of evidence for the latter proposition, but I’m certainly willing to believe that Romney believes that New Hampshire believes. An hour or two later, I chanced to be passing a television set just as the station went to break. The words “WE BELIEVE” appeared on the screen, followed by youthful hands raised to a clear blue sky at the dawn of a new day, shafts of sunlight gleaming through ears of corn, a puppy gamboling across a meadow, a kitten playfully pawing, happy green-T-shirted volunteers of many races unloading a recycling carton . . . and I thought, despite myself, “Well, say what you like, but the reassuring vapidity of the Romney campaign is at least getting more professional.” At the end, in the spot where the off-screen voice is supposed to say...

Obama has spent America’s future, and left no more trace than if he and his high-school “choom gang” had wheeled a barrow of 5 trillion in large notes behind the gym and used them for rolling paper...

Obama is the first president in history to create more disabled people than workers. He is the biggest creator of disabled people on the planet. He has disabled more people than the Japanese tsunami. More Americans have been disabled by Obama than have been given cancer by Mitt Romney. “Ask yourself, ‘Are you more disabled now than you were four years ago?’ Obama 2012.” Followed by the wheelchair logo with the Obama “O” where the wheel should be. In the Democrats’ Dependistan, the wheelchair ramp is downhill all the way...

But in fact, Romney's a capable leader - he leads with teams and consensus - not threats and intimidation like democrats. Romney can keep us from falling off an economic cliff.... Obama can't.
Both men are too liberal for my tastes... but Romney has a chance of saving the country after an economic collapse.
Romney can start out by getting in front of a camera and recording himself talking. Half the time when he's saying 'yes' he's nodding his head 'no'. That doesn't engender trust. Dems want him perceived as an ineffectual nice guy who won't be able to do crap. "We've met the men who smile too much" - that's the dem message - 'go with the bad boys'...
But in fact, Romney's a capable leader - he leads with teams and consensus - not threats and intimidation like democrats. And he's very effective. Romney can keep us from falling off an economic cliff.... Obama can't.

One thing is certain.
Obama is a radical.
That was a classic! I couldn’t stand more than 5 minutes of that tedious, leftist propaganda. I wonder what the British people thought of it?
I remember Mark dissing Newt Gingrich during the primaries. And Newt was the only candidate (IMO) who could have been counted on to relentlessly and aggressively take it to Obama. Sounds like Mark has buyer’s remorse now.
[ I think it is unfair to equate Romney to Obama on this matter. ]
I don’t think its UNFAIR... as they say in NYC..
If you can make “it” politically Massachusetts.. theres something seriously WRONG with you..
The people in Mass.. are more than generally wacked out..
The Swimmer and the Butt Bandit are just two of the freak show..
Pretty much the whole State is a freak show..
The “Big Dig” was a comedy of P.T. Barnum proportions..
Exposing UNION corruption like a Mafia “Special” Olympics..
“Making it” in Massachusetts is definitely not a Merit Badge..
[ Not unless they can get 2/3 in each house. Which seems pretty unlikely. ]
Need 2/3rds if Barry Half-White is reelected but not if Myth Romney is elected..
UNLESS Myth turns totally liberal after election.. comes out of the closet..
Probably won’t happen at least in the first term..
[ That means you have to generate maximum enthusiasm for the top of the ticket. Unless you are a traitor. ]
LoL... I remember Hitler said something like that... and Stalin as well..
Just another anonymous Internet Tuff Gai, is all; an ineffectual online non-entity whose ambitions may be Pol Pot, but whose actual magnitude and reach are more along the lines of Baby Bop. ;)
I used the term “allegedly-Republican” to indicate actual Republican voters and the conservatives that the RNC likes to pretend are still part of the party. I have talked to many people who identify as Conservative but not “Republican” as it is apparently currently defined, and they say they want to have little or nothing to do with the current RNC or with Romney.
And Byron, I’m assuming a “Kentbot” is a supporter of someone named Kent. I am not one of those, and I don’t even know who that candidate is (nor do I care). I am not supporting any third-party candidate in this election.
From the article .....
I support Romney, and I’m not rattled by a bad week’s polls. But I am bothered that Romney’s insipid message does not rise to the challenge this nation faces. ... Mark Steyn
KentTrappedInYourOwnLittleWorld, you doth protest too much, methinks.
Servant of the Cross, go back and re-read for cunning little indicator (i.e., blatant "tell") of heavy sarcasm you inexplicably missed.
