Predicting “a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions” from Obama over the next six months, Romney warned his opponent: “That kind of campaign may have worked at another place over in a different time. But not here and not now. It’s still about the economy…and we’re not stupid.”
I have to admit that so far I’m getting stoked listening to Mitt Romney in the early stages of the race for the White House. Romney came out with both guns blazing and ripped Obama for his distortions, distractions, obfuscations, and lies and warned the Obama regime that he’s not just going to sit back and take more of their distortions, distractions, obfuscations, and lies like that loser John McCain did in 2008.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we’re actually going to have a GOP fighter for the White House, who will fight to win, unlike what we had in 2008, which was an old man who was too concerned about being labeled a racist to put up a fight. McCain proved that just because you were a war hero almost half a century ago it doesn’t mean you still have that warrior’s mentality when it comes to doing everything you can to defeat your opponent.
McCain seemed just happy to be there, and if he won, he won, and if he didn’t, oh well, he still had his senate seat to go back to. So what we got was a pathetic campaign, run by a pathetic candidate, and that, along with the deification of our Dear Leader, by the propaganda wing of the dumocrat party, the mainstream lib media, and their tingling legs, etc., well, McCain was destined to lose.
But just listening to Gov. Romney lately, since he has locked up the GOP nomination has given me hope that thankfully, for once, we’re going to have a candidate who will not worry about offending Obama and being labeled a racist by libtard detractors, since we all know that will be coming down the road.
So, what should Romney do? As Former Clinton adviser James Carville summed it up nicely, back in 1992, when he was asked what the race between Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush would hinge on, he said “It’s the economy, stupid”.
If Romney continues down this path and ignores the distortions, distractions, obfuscations, and lies that we’ll be hearing ad nauseum from the libs and their allies for the next 6 months, then this race will be what it should be- A plebiscite about Obama and his disastrous economic and fiscal policies that have not only not helped, but have made things exponentially worse for the vast majority of Americans since Obama took office in Jan. 2009.
We know Obama will still be blaming George W. Bush, and his lackeys will be using the same old tired libturd rhetoric they have used in every election, going back to Harry Truman, about Republicans being extremists who want the poor living in the streets and kids to starve, the air and water polluted, the non-existent war on women, illegals rounded up and deported, and claiming that they’ll take away grandma and grandpa’s social security.
So, Romney’s campaign needs to ignore the distortions, distractions, obfuscations, and lies, and focus like a laser beam on “It’s the economy, stupid”, and, as President Reagan asked in 1980, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”.
If he does that, then on Jan. 20, 2013, he will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, and this 4 year reign of terror on our liberty and economy, by the Obama regime, will be thrown into the dustbin of history.
Then it will be left to the adults, the Republicans, who will also have control of the House and the Senate, to clean up the mess that has been made for the last four years by the children, the Obama regime and the dimocrats in congress.

There isone thing in your line above that I actually would want:
illegals rounded up and deported
This should be US govt policy at all times. If you are here illegally then you will be deported. Simple. Other than that, agree with you 100%. Romney is sounding like a fighter and is punching back. Obama has never had someone who has fought back and it will be intersting to see him in a real fight.
Are you better off than you were four years ago? It all comes down to that, really, and how many of us can answer “Yes” to that question? If you aren’t part of the Dependant (Parasite) Class, chances are the answer to that question is “No” with loud emphasis. Politics is War. I hope Romney realizes that. Obama will be out to destroy him, so he should be out to destroy Obama. We shouldn’t go for squeaking by like Bush did, either. We should try to destroy Obama electorally. Go for a real mandate, and that may have enough coat-tails to bring us a solid Senate. I am afraid to hope too much, though. The GOP has disappointed me too many times for that.
One of the long shadows cast by presidents are Supreme Court nominations, not to mention Federal judgeships; let the current docket of the high court drive this point home. We must ask ourselves if even a “moderate” Republican President would have nominated Kagan or Sotomayor then do our damnedest to ensure no more Obama appointments.
@ MacDuff:
A solid Republican minority would have kept Kagan off the Court. We need Republicans we can trust in the Senate, no matter who is President.
@ Iron Fist:
The problem with the parasite class is they will vote for whom ever will promise them the most stuff. Class warfare works on them since they want what those evil rich people have. Of course they don’t want to work for it and just want Obama to pay their mortgage. Those are a lost cause. The middle class can be swayed by the “Are you better off now?” argument.
@ MikeA:
They seem to feel entitled to it. Why work for something that should be yours to begin with?
They are pathetic and dangerous at the same time.
I hope we have a fighter this time.
It was painful watching McCain rollover.

Good morning Mac, I actually heard something out of Sotomayor that makes me think she might not be as liberal as we have been led to believe (apparently she seems to be leaning towards being pro Arizona’s SB 1020) .

What’s with all of this “Obama’s cool” crap? I just saw GW Bush mountain biking with disabled vets; he looked trim, healthy, impeccably dressed for the occasion and wearing very nice shades. When Obama’s shown on a bike, he looks like a nerd who’s never really done such a thing and is praying he doesn’t fall over in front of the press. Yeah, he has a pretty good jump shot, but he doesn’t exactly strike one as “athletic”.

@ MacDuff:
Obama can’t run on his record. Romney will destroy him if this election becomes a refferendum on Obama’s performance in office. So they have to come up with some other reason to vote for Obama. If this is really the best they can come up with, they are in trouble. The candidate’s “coolness” is something you see when running for President of the szenior class in high school, not when running for President of the United States.

This is from this mornings Chicago Tribune.
Six years ago a young woman from Caliornia created
a disturbance at Midway Airport in Chicago. She is bipolar.
Police took her into custody & kept her overnight at the lock
up at 51st & Wentworth where she asked fot transport to
a hospital & was unruly.
In the morning the police released Christina Ellman on her
own , ignoring repeated calls from the womans mother from
Sacramento, to take her to a hospital.
They notorious crime ridden Robert Taylor Homes are two
blocks away. She was lured into it & was sexually assaulted
and wound up flying out of a seventh floor window and
suffered serious injuries. The perp just got let out
after serving six years.
An appellate court just ruled that the Chiacgo Police Dept
can be sued for negligence.
In the opinion a justice said that it was like releasing her
into the Lions Den at Brookfield Zoo or a snake pit.
The Radio is reporting the story with the big issue being,
“Judge compares Black neighborhood to a zoo.”
Can’t make this up.

I’m talking about the Space Program. This is a bi-partisan failure. When Newt brought up more space exploration, Romney called it a waste. His words not mine. The GOP Congress in the Ryan Budget is planning on slashing the Space program. Those are the facts.

I’ve had about as much as I can stand for a while. It seems that trying to get behind Obama’s opponent in order to defeat him is the same as “worship” and expecting a “Golden Age”. Clearly I’m a rube for withholding judgement, and I’d be wise to enthusiastically embrace the dismemberment and deposing of both parties forthwith because in the very near future leaders not associated with either party will be running the country.
Sorry, I’ve heard the “burn the whole thing down” strategy before. Venting is fine, but when negativism, vitriol and hyperbole is thematic, it becomes problematic -- it’s not only unhelpful, it’s destructive.
