We used to aspire to success. The campaign played out just as I wanted, a stark contrast, a decision between two economic ideologies. The problem was the Obama campaign refused to engage in a substantial debate about it and kept pointing to social issues like gay marriage and birth control ??? Nobody wants to take away birth control. "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals, and you know it." -K<br /><br />Right on, Bos!

I will refute forever, any argument that Romney had anything wrong with his personability or likability, as Bosman has so adeptly illustrated above. So where did all this come from? Not from anyone that we can respect, but from Democrats desperate to nip Romney in the bud, before the average American came to know him first-hand. Why? Because, among potential nominees, Romney was the most threateng to their plans. Unfortunately, this false characterization of Romney, by Democrats, proved to be popular among some bigots among our side as well. Since Romney was more conservative than Reagan had been before their respective conversions, then I do not accept the argument from some supposed conservatives (who were actually bigots) that Mitt was "not conservative enough." Even if they came around to supporting Mitt eventually, many of them dragged him through the mud with false allegations for the duration of the primary process. There were also some hold-outs who took a chance that second-term Obama damage might not be irreparable, and unbelievably, stayed home on election day. Those among us conservatives who were not able to view Romney through an objective lens, and thereby contributed to a false public characterization of him, and/or declined to vote for him, know who they are, and will be hanging their heads in shame. They also can carry the dishonor of having been manipulated by the Democrat strategists that hoped for them to be such tools. They gambled with our Country's future for the sake of their own prejudices, and they lost.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-85344975694524504592012-11-28T02:38:55.542-05:002012-11-28T02:38:55.542-05:00I think middle class people who think Romney isn&#...I think middle class people who think Romney isn't relatable would probably feel superior if they had a lot of money themselves; hence, they think Romney himself feels superior because of his wealth. And that's something for which there is no evidence, considering all his given of himself to charity, public service, and his own family. So, people who think Romney is not relatable are just struggling with their own insecurities or feelings of inferiority. <br /><br />People shouldn't feel that way, though, and should just feel as comfortable with the poor as they do with the rich. <br /><br />Also, Romney may seem a little uppity at times, but that is only because he is a perfectionist. You can tell he always tries to do the right thing, whether it's how he presents himself or how he behaves personally. He's not trying to be better than anyone, but he just believes there is a certain way to do things. <br /><br />Romney's like what kids in school call the teacher's pet. But the teacher's pet doesn't study hard to impress anybody. Rather, the teacher's pet studies hard to give the best of himself. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
