I’m a ‘Weekly Standard’, ‘WSJ:Opinion’ and ‘National Review’ subscriber and fan, but trying to find particles of flys**t in the bottom of Mitt’s sugar bowl is silly, destructive nonsense.

That said, I’d add: MITT, please, bro, grow a BIGGER Set…FAST!!” Your Obamster Acolyte Enemies want you destroyed. Bare Knuckle the ***kers with the hard facts–Over & Over & Over. Video–large quantities–adroitly done of His Infantile Majesty’s LIES, Shadings and Bull***t, laid relentlessly against the FACTS need to be aired constantly.

I mean that sensitively.

I really do not think the BainCap stuff and the rich white guy stuff (Terrye) was fully argued in the campaign. We argued it here, and that was awesome. But when Newt played that card, I saw it being shouted down. I saw an awful lot of “why are you attacking capitalism”, which was, to me, missing the point. The general electorate has a much greater mistrust of what we call capitalism than does the GOP primary audience.

Parker: Thanks. I miss participating here.

It seems to be a Conservative proclivity.

I am sure they are all very smart people. I wonder why they don’t enter the arena. Maybe they are too smart, knowing that others like themselves would be gathering stones.

I’m a fiscal conservative, believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and a severely restricted central government, and I am a social libertarian. Romney was never my choice, but Romney is the only choice when the other choice is BHO. Yes, Romney has several chinks in his armor. But BHO is the naked emperor wannabe.

I understand being disappointed that a better candidate will not face BHO. However, I think, despite his chinks (no racial slur intended, nudge-nudge) Romney is more intelligent than BHO, will be a steadier hand at the rudder, and BHO in a debate, no matter how slanted by the MSM, is a fumbler without the teleprompter. Come late September Romney needs to take off the Mr. Nice Guy gloves and hit hard, fast, and repeatedly. Will he? I don’t know.

However, it will remain the economy stupid, and from my POV the next 6 months do not look like we will be needing shades. The double dip has begun and will build steam, and Main Street will feel the pain.

BTW, glad you are back, I enjoy your comments.

And that also was the point of several parts of my post, as well.

You sound as though you’re gloating, although I have no idea why you would care to do that.

You say Romney will killed on “this” stuff…what stuff?

Nonsense?

You sound like a guy with an axe to grind. Sore loser maybe.

That’s why the conservative leaning members of the MSM can be so infuriating. I have nothing against thoughtful criticism of conservatives, but harping on inconsequential issues is plain stupid as it provides ammo to the opposition. There are many things to criticize in BHO’s last 3.5 years, including his nastiness. Criticize BHO, not Romney. Reagen was correct, as was usually the case.

You’ve only just begun to see Romney’s weaknesses in the general election campaign. Healthcare is just the trap y’all were expecting him to fall into.

Wait until the enemy ramps up the “rich white guy who fired you so he could buy his wife a fourth Cadillac” stuff. Or the “bankster corporate pawn” stuff.

The righties did O.K. blustering away those weaknesses in the primary. But that was a friendly audience, eager to be deceived. (ABO! ABO!)

Setting aside any genuine differences of opinion about Mitt’s record, I’ve been telling you for months that he will get killed on this stuff at crunch time.

And take a look at your local and Congressional races. Anyone tying their fate to Romney? Not in my part of flyover country.

Wringing my hands? No. Laughing with the carefree smile of a condemned prisoner. Anyone ready to join me in watching a spectacular collapse?
