I realize that a general election for president is rapidly approaching….and that many things will be said to foster ones public appeal…..and that misinformation should be the rule of the campaigns…on both sides….but there has to be a point where candidates stop mouthing diatribes and offer up a concrete plan with specifics….we have seen that generalities is NOT doing any good…….but then I am probably mistaken.
Mitt Romney, considered the front runner for the GOP nomination by many, has started with his positioning himself as the real anti-Obama candidate. How did he do this?
Good question!
In his book, No Apology, the new edition, he makes an anal statement about the Dems and as most of my readers know….when something is said about what the Founders said….. I take offense….and Romney is NO different….
“They (liberals) simply do not believe in America as it was shaped by the Founders,” he writes. “They do not believe that the principles and values that made America a great nation still apply.”
Here is a news flash! The Repubs do NOT have a corner on knowing what the Founders were about, just as the Dems do NOT either……What makes the GOP ers think that they are more scholarly on the Founders than anyone else? The worship of Jefferson does NOT make one an expert on the Founders……….
What does this sanctimonious $#%(*&^ mean by that? Who knows? If Romney does he does not do well at explaining his little slogan that he hopes will help propel him to front runner status….this is why I despise most politicians….they make wild accusations and then leave it there and do not explain why they say the lame ass crap they say…..
Mr. Romney….welcome to 2011 Anal-Ocity…….you have made it big as a purveyor of anal BS………
Yes, well… In my opinion, the first thing to realize is that they will stay WELL clear of specifics if humanly possible – statements of that nature always come back to bite a politician in the ass after election.
The second thing is that is what he was looking for – a slogan, as you so rightly point out – and slogans don’t need any basis in fact, do they? We know that from the last charade, don’t we?
“It’s time for change” and “yes we can” come to mind!
The American voter has the attention span of iguana in heat….and slogans are all they can comprehend….sad…..
I am not even sure the founders knew what they intended for this country. No sooner they the ratified the Constitution, they passed unconstitutional laws (Alien and Sedition Actions) and government mandated heath care (An Act for The Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen). Oh… the… horror…
Terrant…the states rights thingy, which the GOPers use at every turn, was put in to protect slavery….it is just that simple…they did not expect it to be used in any other fashion…..
Well, they SHOULD have expected it – if authority CAN bend the rules then it WILL bend the rules!
