It appears rather unseemly when he himself is still playing "Catch Me If You Can" on any of his returns of less than the past two years (although he asked all potential VP picks to provide ten years' worth of theirs!). Oh, to see what HIS ten years' of returns would look like! THAT's why he isn't providing anything substantial, as we all know he would not have a chance in a billion to win the election if people knew just how little he has paid in taxes (we assume this is the reason for his unwillingness to disclose more info by the not-so-subtle hints Ann Romney has given about why they will not release additional returns), as well as how much he is worth – without, of course, listing his Swiss and Cayman Accounts.
Nevertheless, despite his Money Secrets and Policy Secrets and Un-Statesman-like Demeanor and comments, I don't believe anyone should be dancing on his Political Grave just yet. His campaign may be in a form of chaos at the moment (READ THIS), BUT we have The Debates coming-up before the election. All Mitts has to do is dodge answering direct questions with unclear and indirect answers in an authoritative voice and not offend the moderators and his stock can go up – again. The current stigma attached to fervent Romney supporters will be lifted and those who weren't blocked by the GOP's devious Voter ID fraud that is still in play in several states, will vote that wooden creature into office.
Today Obama's poll numbers are looking healthy in most areas. The thing is, Romney's not THAT far behind in certain areas the polls cover. When the next chapter unfolds, the current lead Obama has could just as easily slip. So, although I usually agree with Nancy Pelosi, the following (THIS) is a careless comment and attitude to chirp about. Nice to hear, though. Would be happy news were it already a reality that Romney had lost the election. Let's not follow in Romney's footsteps with Jumping-The-Gun.
My mildly wizened experience as an Observer Of The New GOP tells me that unless the Democrats take a continually strident position with the Voter ID scam, and ways to work around the Enormous Financial Edge Romney has in his corner with those money-spilling-out-of-the-coffers Super Pac's, there is very little the GOP will not do to be In Full Power. Another spit at The Constitution in spirit, if not quite reality – yet. Therefore, as a Pragmatic Man as I believe Obama to be, I hope he is sharpening his #2 pencil once more to deliver to the American public during Debate Season the man who has more large sticks than Sarah Palin has ever seen in her sad, misguided life of being a Perfect Bobblehead.

Now, wasn't that an exciting post for your Sunday afternoon/evening/middle-of-the-night? I hope so, it's as if I'm trying to be that guy Revere who rode his horse around New England to tell everyone that "the British are coming" – something like that. Just ask Sarah. She always knows the wrong answer.
Gawd, I haven't missed her at all. Git back to shootin' Moose and pretending you are still relevant, girl. Right now the Tea Party Wingnuts have been choppin' your trees, Little Lady. You are yesterday's newz when the likes of Paul Lyin' Ryan and Michele Bachmann start opening their vocal instruments of Tiny Minds.
Anyhow, I wandered off again….
Point is a homey little ditty for all Democrats and Dem-Leaning Independents: Don't count your chickens until they're hatched. Keep sitting on those eggs, warm them up, and when the time is right, step up and let the little chickies stretch their wings.
Have a great day or something.....

Isn't it ironic, that you HAD TO have a picture ID to get into the DNC, but not to vote?? How's that for hypocrisy? John
ReplyDeleteJohn, this is a very different situation than voting. If the POTUS (of any party) and other high-level officials are to be in an enclosed area, of course it is necessary to be cautious and ask for ID. No hypocrisy there.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to me that you and others can't acknowledge the dirty tactics being used on the Voter ID issue. Sure, everyone should have a photo ID these days. It is just wrong to push for it in an election year when so many people who are affected have not had enough time to locate birth records and other paperwork needed... I would think our Founding Fathers would also find the tactics un-American due to the timing and the obvious purpose for suddenly requiring a Photo ID after all of these years.
That's all I'm going to write.
BS "None so blind, as those who will not see." Let's call it like it is. This isn't about voter rights, or anything of the sort. This is strictly giving EVERY ILLEGAL who either came in over our fence, or was covered under Obama's blanket amnesty with his recent dream act, the right to show up and repay the favor by voting democratic. It's so hilarious when the dems say they're for voter rights. I take you back to Lyndon Johnson, when he said, "Give them the right to vote, and I'll
ReplyDeletehave these ni----s voting democrat for 200 years." John
Late response - but John, I don't care that LBJ was cynical and foul-mouthed. He knew the political "game" and played most of it well. He GOT THINGS DONE other than Vietnam. Yes, he was an SOB, but the social RESULTS of his presidency far exceed what others have done - in either party. He was one hell of a "human wrangler."
