Rommey is respectful, and he is not talking to Obama in this setting, he is talking to Americans.
More importantly, he *knows* he has the conservative base sewn up: they know now the stakes for the country and will not stay home, and the choice of Ryan (as a budget guy, meshes well with Romney's MBA) is not merely pandering nor a Hail Mary.
And therefore he is talking to the *undecideds* and *leaning Obama* voters: so he phrases things at the level of familiarity of the uninformed, those who get their news from the MSM. Of course he won't be as strident, or as detailed, as the political junkies on FR.
Remember, he ran *and won* in Massachusetts. He knows how to disarm the "right wing nutcase" label, and he is busy doing so.
Cheers!
Well, we’ll see if being “respectful” and staying on the same points “the economy” wins in November. I’m not convinced there are enough intelligent people left in the country to not believe the MSM propaganda all they way into the voting booth.
Bush played nice against the imbecile Gore and nearly lost a sure thing. He refused to use the corruption and scandals that plagued the Rapist’s administration. In 2004, he nearly lost and would have if the Swift Boat Veterans had not reminded America what a POS and a poser Kerry was.
McCain played it safe and refused to vet the Fraud. He was slaughtered.
Now The Fraud and the MSM are painting Romney as an evil rich guy, who wants to give tax breaks to his rich buddies while the rest of the country suffers. The whole campaign is based an class envy.
47 % of the country pays no income tax and at least 50 % + expect the government to take care of them, take money from the rich and give it to the rest of us.
I’m not convinced after 50 + years of leftists public school indoctrination and the brainwashing of the media, that America is ready to defend free enterprise, capitalism against the threat of socialism.
The lines are clearly drawn and I think November 6 decides the future direction of the country. Do we remain a free enterprise system or do we do what they did in Britain a few decades back - move towards more government, socialism.
