He may be throwing away his opportunity to be the greatest president in recent memory (before Reagan and after Reagan). When Obama wins he will get four more years in which he will not have to worry about being re-elected. Look at the damage he's done these past three years and imagine if you possibly can the devastated economy he will leave in his wake. Romney has the talent, the steady hand, the brains, the background, the character and an understanding of the economy. He might be the last thing between American decline, political, economic and cultural bankruptcy. Let's hope he rises to the occasion and turns his campaign around.
Mike Flynn is absolutely correct. I'm not a politician but it was obvious to me that Romney had to do only two things, namely, 1. get a dialogue going with the Tea Party base, speak to them using their voice, their language, their concerns and their solutions, and then do exactly what the writer proposed, that is 2. to have addressed the RomneyCare problem by saying in so many words," I thought it was a good idea but it was not, I'm not perfect, I've learned from my mistake as we all should." This would have put it to rest. Instead he continues to try to explain how it's different using politispeak. People don't care about the fine points of state mandates versus national mandates.
You have only interventionism to blame for the direction it took in 1979.
More correctly stated, "You have only Jimmy Carter to blame for the direction it took in 1979."
I'm surprised she didn't mention the Constitution of the USSR! It was a beautuful document that gave the people of the now defunct USSR glowing promises but they were never delivered. The only intelligent thing she said boils down to this, write anything you want, take the best ideas from all the best documents, but what she doesn't mention is that the poliical system in this part of the world is an integral part of the religion of this part of the world, Islam. The two cannot be separated and the lower house that was elected in Egypt is majority Brotherhood. No matter what they say, just watch what they do.
Is this news? isn't "NEWS" supposed to be something NEW?
This is what we get for voting in incumbents. The longer they say IN, the more they figure out how to steal money. In his case since he replaced his father, he hit the ground with his feet moving.
re.: Linda Chavez-Thompson...
Phew, I was scared there for a minute. I thought Linda Chavez had changed teams!
"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Linda Chavez-Thompson.
This would stop Congressional insider trading in a minute and might make prospective candidates for office think twice if they are simply running for office to take advantage of insider info, namely, every candidate would be complelled to turn over their liquid assets, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, into a BLIND TRUST, a private firm, whose job it would be to monitor and invest their assets while in office. This would be a DOUBLE BLIND arrangement, i.e., the firm would not know whose assets they are managing and the office holder would not know which firm was managing his/her assts. Upon leaving office, the assets would be returned to the retired office holder.
There's only one answer and that is to "STARVE THE BEAST! More revenue FROM ANY SOURCE WHATSOEVER will only result in more spending and more deficits and more debt. Until we force our representatives to turn off the spigot, this country will be headed for financial disaster which will open the door to an avalanche of other disasters, social, political, cultural and ultimately, civilizational.
"The surprising lack of coverage...", since when do 'journalists' sign confidentiality agreements???
Too bad Nixon didn't know this was an option!
I hope all my Jewish friends who voted for this inept walking disaster hear about this.
Matthews 'doth protest too much'!
