RkFast Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) If Romney thinks the message of a "bridge to nowhere" will get people to not vote for Obama, hes nuts. If there is one thing EVERYONE understands is that failed projects like this span all political activities and have literally ZERO to do with the PUSA. NOBODY believes that stuff like this will go away when a new President gets into office. Nobody. Romney has to hammer Obama on Obama. Things he touched. People next to him. People he picked to run his administration. His decisions.Not hokey bull ****. I do think going after CA is smart, though. Hes not winning CA and its a liberal state. So hold it up as a model of how liberal tax and spend governance in the US fails. Then contrast that with a conservative state where business is thriving.

As you said, he's not winning liberal Cali, so might as well point and stare at it and say "see, this is what liberal policies get you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 After two weeks of a news agenda dominated by gay marriage, bullying accusations, Obama's trip to Afghanistan and controversy over a conservative group's plan to make ads about Obama's controversial ex-pastor... When was the news dominated by bullying? For about thirty minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If Romney is this so called "pillar of conservatism" than why is he following Obama's campaign. If Romney wants to win he will need to lay out what he would do differently. He's basically running around now saying he's going to cut taxes, radically increase military spending, somehow he'll slash the budget deficit. Romney promises to ease regulations on the banking sector & Wall Street, repealing The Affordable Healthcare Act, & expand private sector borrowing to fuel job growth. The facts are we have too much private sector debt, the govt is running huge deficits thanks to W's tax cuts of '01-'02 which have added 5-6 trillion to our national deficit. Most Americans want Wall Street regulated, and most Americans want pre existing conditions covered, and woman to pay the same premiums for their healthcare as men. If Romney wants to win he would be smart to scale back his grandiose plans and tell them American people that we are in a long-term private sector debt deflationary period and that job growth is unattainable without massive investments in education, and infrastructure spending.

IDBillzFan Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If Romney is this so called "pillar of conservatism" than why is he following Obama's campaign. It's funny, actually, because he's putting the ol' Obama move on Obama. Quite honestly the maneuver they made getting into the Obama speech and tweeting a photo of an empty stadium was the mark of a person who knows how to compete for business. Do you remember what Obama's speech was that day? Neither does anyone else. And the Romney team HAS to do this because, if you are paying attention, Obama has nothing to talk about EXCEPT Romney. There is no Obama story to tell. He can't sell Obamacare, he can't sell stimulus, he can't sell a thriving economy, he can't even sell his improved unemployment numbers because everyone knows why the numbers are going down. So he and Joe and Axelrod have only one story: Mittpicking. Obama is about to find out what it's like when you can't control the narrative, and as a conservative I'm pretty happy because watching McCain last year was like watching the last game of Billy Joe Hobert's career.
