ABO, Bro. A.B.O.

I received an email from a friend in MA. He knows that I do not care for Romney. The gist of the email was to provide some insight into Romney, as a person.

I am not posting the email - but instead did a bit of online research at the usual sources to give the story a sanity check.

Since others express displeasure with our choice this November election - I include the following links for each to arrive at their own conclusions.

I hope this helps.

Now, Bro, don't get all crazy on us...ZD has already suggested in another thread that with respect to Hillary...he'd go all Yoda and...hit it he would. Love ya ZD and even apologized for my tone in another thread because you merely suggested that a member had been roughed up a bit. But, Hillary...not enough beer in The world !

But, in all seriousness, I sure hear ya Dusty loud and clear.

When you look at the two men running for office there really is no choice.

Romney, for all his weaknesses, is a proven problem solver who loves this country and the opportunities it has provided him and his family. The other guy...not so much.

ABO.

MOO, the problem is that it reflects poor judgement on Romney's part. Yes, it is his house and it is his money but the man is running to be the president. How is he going to convince working class Americans that he can relate to their issues when he appears to go out of his way to make it clear that his everyday life is beyond the imagination of most Americans?

Pat

Your point is well made. However, how does Romney's solution help/hurt his ability to portray himself as a man who can lead ALL Americans? If the elevator is about parking in La Jolla, what does it say about his approach to public policy issues that he wants to solve an endemic problem by throwing private money at it as opposed to working for a solution that works to the benefit of his neighbors and his community?

Now it is"do you see that f*&ing guy. Why does he get an elevator in his house and I don't have one? He must have taken something from me so that he could be better off"

That is the whole problem with this country. Everyone thinks the size of the pie stays the same, therefore if you have more, I must have less. Instead of the pie changes size, and even though you have a bigger piece, because the pie is bigger, so do I.

Class warfare at it's best. Not saying you believe that, but a majority of people now adays see it that way. Just the other day I was at a family dinner and my cousin was giving me shit about my mercedes, and how I think I am better than him. Well jackass, I have 2 masters degrees, and have steadily been climbing the ladder for 18 years. You on the other hand barely have a BA, smoke pot most of the day, and took a dead end job because it was easy. He thinks because I have it good, it is my fault he isn't as well off.

Tough Shit.

I can't believe my own cousin outed me on PS.com

As a Minnesotan, all I can say is, "Please do." I don't even care where you take him.

I would love to see debates between obama and Newt. I just don't see it happening in a debate setting. Time to support the Republican candidate, Newt can do plenty in that capacity.

Gypsy says it best, "We the people are coming", that includes Newt.

For repayment of campaign debt plus 'expenses', as the RNC chair, I would commission Spkr. Gingrich to 'follow' the Democratic candidate as he flies around the country making speeches, etc. and do as he stated during the campaign - which is 'debate' the President (in absentia) every day.

Far more effective than a media blitz IMHO.

I'd love to see that.

Either that, or somebody needs to wind up Joe Biden for a strong two week run. Haven't heard much from number two for a while.
