Romney committed a major gaffe when he figured 47% of our people are on the dole and will never vote for him. Indeed, I think he has made a major mistake; a mistake that hardly registers in comparison to the ongoing gong show of the Obama administration.
However, when we consider the number of working Socialists, Communists, union drones, academics, sycophantic college students, and celebrity voters; we have a demographic far larger than Obama needs for a majority.
As he battled Hillary Clinton for the nomination four years back he argued that she was an insider and no insider can change Washington from the inside. They’ve all been corrupted from the inside you see so ch-ch-change! was needed.
Bring an outsider, like himself, into Washington and he would ch-ch-change Washington.
Four years later and he admits that his line was bullcrap.
First thought is why in the world is Romney being brought up on the floor of the Senate? Why is Harry Reid debating Romney in the Senate when:
The 112th Congress is set to enter the Congressional record books as the least productive body in a generation, passing a mere 173 public laws as of last month. . . . Appropriations bills, once the central function of the legislative branch, have been ditched in favor of short-term spending measures that do little more than keep the lights on.
“And one of the things I’ve learned as president is you represent the entire country. And when I meet Republicans as I’m traveling around the country, they are hard working, family people, who care deeply about this country and my expectation is that if you want to be president you got to work for everybody not just for some.“

Paul Ryan is pretty good at this eh?
And so, we were going to ask, where does President Obama stand? Does he stand with his former Chief of Staff Mayor Rahm Emanuel, with the children and the parents, or does he stand with the union?
Iran is in the news again. Talking heads are saying Iran will do something in October to impact our elections.
Barring some unforeseen cataclysm, Mitt Romney will be the 45th president of the United States… and the vote will likely not even be close. His acceptance speech at the GOP convention last week did exactly what it had to do, it provided Americans who might have been sitting on the fence with the nudge they needed to climb down and pull the lever for him. If you had to distill his speech down to one line, it might have been “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. MY promise…is to help you and your family.”
This video does a pretty good job illustrating how Obama has been on repeat for four years. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5VMX2JahrU[/youtube] But now they are trying to change it up, and whoever the …
I think it’s likely over, but as Glenn would advise- don’t get cocky.
Coming off a terrific Republican National Convention Mitt Romney decided to visit New Orleans, which is suffering the aftereffects of Hurricane Isaac.
Now this guy usually knows exactly what he is saying so the question is, since he has already stated he is NOT a birther, was this a joke? Or was it him saying ‘you call me a murderer, a felon, and a tax cheat…I can get down in the mud and fight it out also’? Or was it over the secrecy issue?
