Convincing voters "I am going to do this." with specificity is needed. <br /><br />And yes, I cringe to think Romney is going to be the candidate for the Republicans. Obama went from being checked out in a Piper Cub to flying a 747. Romney will be moving from a P-51 to a F-16. Palin would be going from a joy ride in a Cessna to flying a Boeing Dreamliner. <br /><br />I am at the point where I think I might want to take my chances in the Dreamliner.J Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11127981724616565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-45507787608399015792012-02-18T01:33:26.772-08:002012-02-18T01:33:26.772-08:00We have the ignorance and stupidity of the America...We have the ignorance and stupidity of the American public to blame for this mess we're in, and I just don't see a way out any time soon. No matter how we got that way, whether it was through complacency, laziness, our lousy schools or the relentless left-wing media programming, we must face the fact that a huge portion of our society has lost touch with reality.<br /><br />Unfortunately, looking back through world history, it's pretty clear that when the majority of people in a society lose touch with reality and begin ignoring the truth, the collapse of that society isn't far behind.<br /><br />In my opinion, we aren't too far from that point in America, and it's a real shame.Guy in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427016567260606130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-40197810252283540312012-02-17T23:51:10.390-08:002012-02-17T23:51:10.390-08:00As far as Romney is concerned, he too would be not...As far as Romney is concerned, he too would be nothing other than a "guy in suit", and I can't begin to see him as a couragous person, and he certainly has no capability of oration.<br /><br />Romney would end up just more of the same old, same old.<br /><br />If it is Romney who becomes the Republican candidate, he will be toast, and so will the US of A.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-31709124144164424252012-02-17T17:18:18.495-08:002012-02-17T17:18:18.495-08:00Don't worry too much Alan, I'm sure Romney...Don't worry too much Alan, I'm sure Romney will end up being the candidate. And by the way, it was stated on Fox (on the Waters slot on Wednesday's O'Reilly Factor) that Romney bused in his supporters and paid their registration so they could vote for him in the straw poll at CPAC. It's an open secret, as Ron Paul has been doing this for years. And yet Romney still has no traction with the conservatives. Funny that. Seems that money can't buy you everything after all. He just doesn't come across as a genuine guy - he needs to connect with people for them to vote for him and he'd better start soon otherwise he's going to lose out to Santorum. My tip: watch for Sarah Palin to enter the race....she's suddenly doing a lot of media and she's talking sense.Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-63921172952745627962012-02-17T16:57:38.743-08:002012-02-17T16:57:38.743-08:00As long as Republican candidates only take cheap s...As long as Republican candidates only take cheap shots at each other, no actual "message" can be produced.<br /><br />So how did Obama get elected? By reading well from a teleprompter, and promising hope and change. He won.<br /><br />Where is the Republic candidate who is an excellent orator? Which Republican can, with excellent oratory skills, campaign by standing up and saying, "I have complete confidence in the citizens of the United States, even if we have to go it alone!<br /><br />"When I become president, I shall change . . and go on to list what really needs to be changed, and quickly at that, and go on to state, "What I have just listed are what really needs to be changed, and until these changes are made, there will be no hope for our economy! I will cause those changes to happen."<br /><br />Find me a Republican candidate who has the guts to say those things? Why should Republicans avoid annoying those people who would never vote for a Republican? Why keep on being interviewed by a hostile main stream media?<br /><br />We conservatives really need a candidate of courage, and one who indeed has faith that Americans CAN do it alone with out the help of (quite useless) allies (We can do it). And one who is eager to press these points home, which ever special interest group or "progressive" group complains.<br /><br />We need an equivalent Winston Churchill as of now, not simply a guy in a suit.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.com
