Morning peeps!
Summer is half over and the GOP still doesn’t seem to have their act together. Apparently, they seem to have forgotten that we have a country to save. Romney seems to have the political instincts of a rock. He was so vicious during the primaries with a pretty effective rapid response team and he had no problem relentlessly attacking his opponents with false and misleading ads to the point of paralyzing their campaigns.
So what happened? Surely Team Romney understands who the REAL enemy is, right? It isn’t conservatives, it is Obama. I used to think they knew that but lately, I’m not so sure. Romney has had a really hard time ever since he was crowned “presumptive” nominee. He only disagreed with Obama’s amnesty for youth insomuch that it didn’t go far enough, he agreed with Obama that the healthcare mandate was not a tax and he has been completely ineffective fighting back against the attacks on him regarding Bain, his tax returns and whether or not he is a felon.
Let me ask everyone, how hard is it to defend yourself from someone who accuses you of being a felon with no proof? What would your answer be? I could think of a dozen better answers than Romney has given. Also, if you were preparing to run for President and you knew you would have to show your tax returns, would you not dot your i’s and cross your t’s on them? So since Romney has been running for President for at least 7 years, is it not reasonable to think he could provide at least 7 years worth of tax returns? Yes, he makes a lot of money but I think there is more damage done by people thinking he is either hiding something or thinks he is above the expectation. Even Obama provided 10 years of returns in 2008. Romney’s response to outsourcing was slow and weak. I just don’t get it. These are easy smack downs and yet Romney’s camp is not handling this well at all.
OK, also I noted on Saturday that we had moved to a new server and everyone noted that we had a bit of a facelift. There is a reason for that, Sheya has turned the site over to me and no longer a part of P4A. He has not been involved in the site since last winter and has built a great and resourceful site in Electad that keeps him busy. So the domain, hosting etc… belongs to me now. Let’s pray I don’t screw it up, lol. You may see him in the comment thread from time to time as many did yesterday and please know that he is a guest just like everyone else and his opinions are his own. I think we have a great group of people that post here. Cruela does an awesome job. Whitney, Beancounter and Hrh are excellent research writers and we are always looking for new talent. I am not a writer. I’m just a smart ass with a keyboard.
I also added an abuse tab at the top of the site. Please use that email to report comments that need to be reviewed. I know most people are familiar with that process via C4P.
News roundup:
Boom how’s that nightstick feel?
How not-so-subtly self-serving of him…
A little bathroom reading…
I’ll take it but when is the Senate going to learn that a dead for now bill is not the same as a dead for good & 6 feet under bill…
How very generous of them…
and here’s the answer Romney should have given… after all, someone’s education and college performance is far more relevant to a job qualification than one’s tax returns…
Oh yay! I was looking for another way to be patriotic…
Have a great day everyone!
