"Hope is not a Strategy"

[Calpublican]

Mitt, do not let up. Do not hold back. Make this man account for his mismanagement. The press has failed.

[chris37]

Excellent speech, Mr. President.

[FrankR]

“Hope” is the excuse for doing nothing.

[baddog 219]

Obama is getting desperate.

[Leep]

Hope doesn’t create jobs either.

“Rich” people or at least people who want a better life and

perhaps aspire to be “rich” take risk and create oportunity.

Hope create 20+ failed green enterprizes and the Chevy Volt.

Hope creates massive debt with little to no return.

Hope is someone who wants to believe that even in the face

of the evidence to the contrary that 0bama has put America

on the right track.

I only HOPE we get adults in charge who actually know what

they are doing.

Romney gave an excellent speech.

[GVnana]

Every debate day an empty chair day.

I'm thinkin' we need more ground activism to drive this election home.

I don't know what is going on, but people seem to be hunkered down in their foxholes and not exhibiting their choices.

I'm floating the idea of making every debate day an empty chair day. Does this sound like a good idea to anyone?

[hoosiermama]

Looks like ABC has picked it up.

[ScubieNuc]

For the most part, it was a good speech. What I didn’t like is his references that so many other countries want our leadership. While part of that is true, what they really want is our free money and for us to bear their defense burden.

I would feel better if he made it clear that Europe can work on defending itself as we draw down from our Cold War bases. I would also have liked him to be more firm on countries like Pakistan. They are KNOWINGLY supporting and supplying Al Queda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and YET we STILL give them aid. Take away the aid and destroy all known terrorist camps in Pakistan. If we don’t then the war in Afghanistan will not be won.

In short, there are countries that do want our support and demonstrat good government, like Israel, and with those countries we should work with, but all others, if they don’t play ball with us, stop all funding and support. We have been the World’s policeman for long enough. When these other countries crumble from our lost support, the only ones they can blame is themselves for being on the dole for so long.

BRAVO, MR. PRESIDENT ROMNEY, BRAVO.

Stay on the offense, and continue to strike fear in the heart of the Obama camp.

[NFHale]

“...to vanquish fascism...”

Did we...after all?

[rmlew]

Hope isn't a strategy?
Neither is refusing to understand the ideology of our enemy? Neither is refusing to name or understand our opponents.
Neither is helping our opponents get WMDs by taking Syria.
Romney has the unmitigated gall to refference the creator the "containment policy", even as he call for aiding the Muslim Brotherhood (and thus also Al Qaeda). Jeane Kirkpartick is rolling over in her grave with the current generation of neo-Jacobins. You can't fix Willful Blindness. And when we are hit with a WMD under a Romney presidency, we will get a Democrat President. The Constitution Party may be a joke, but at least Virgil Goode doesn't believe in aiding our enemies in time of war.
