Romney Contra Obama: It's a Brawl

"Obama can't run through his ObamaCare talking points? He really wasn't expecting a brawl tonight. He's really, really missing McCain right about now. by Drew M. 10:05 PM" To my surprise, Romney has had a superb debate tonight. Intelligent, direct, unafraid, and taking Obama's claims and grinding them into sawdust with well-marshalled evidence and sharp logic......Is there Hope?

20 Bits Down the Road to Perdition, to Kurtz's Horror

Yes, they are....... [1] This election could go either way. True..... [2]If Obama squeaks by, he will have done so with the help of a Democratic party that has taken a large, open, and disturbingly leftist turn. True.... [3] I think we’re missing the significance of that. Speak for yourself, Kurtz. [4] Conservatives can’t cut through the media filter. The MSM Party Line is totally dePravda, dude........ [5]The conservative case can’t break through the left-controlled education system that has profoundly shaped the Millennials It'll make a Charly outa ya, Kurtz..... [6]Do demographics doom the expansive liberal welfare state, regardless? Yup...... [7] Yet if Obama is in the driver’s seat as our fiscal woes mount, he will use the crisis to further his restructuring. Yes, He Can. Yes, He Will..... [8]California is our advance guard The very Vanguard of the Revolution...... [9]The Romney campaign has avoided an assault on Obama’s ideology. Had too much fun assaulting the Tea Party. Rich Boy's tired..... [10]Romney’s strategy is to downplay the ideological battle Sort of like Ethelred the Unready, who just downplayed the whole battle part.... [11] Krauthammer says that the counter to all this is exposing Obama” ..using his presidential power to enact the same “ambitious left-wing agenda” he “developed in his youth. Well, yes, at the bare minimum, Stanley....... [12]So far as I can tell, however, this sort of argument is the last thing the Romney campaign wants to make right now. Duh, what a sharp eye you mealy mouthed wuss...... [13]I can’t say for certain that Romney’s strategy is wrong. Brave of ya..... [14]>But I do think it’s far riskier than we realize. What's so risky about defacto capitulation on what you claim to believe? It did Planet Pepe proud..... [15]Republicans won big in 2010 by defining Obama as an overweening ideologue. Yet that was the Tea Party’s doing, not the Republican establishment. So very very True. Not that the Establishment learnt that lesson.....= [16]Were Republicans smart to hold their fire? Is it smart to be a bloomin' idiot reading from the Book of Rove with the other Ivy Idiocrats? You decide, Stanley..... [17]Republican reticence on these issues has been going on for a while. No shit....... [18]Beginning with John McCain in 2008, the party establishment has done a weak job of challenging the core Democratic narrative Stanley, if you had said "beginning with Bush Sr. in 1988" you would have been far closer to the truth...... [19]Yet I worry that the Romneyites are fooling themselves. What, you worry? There's always Andromeda...... [20]Technocrats and fixers from a state where liberals dominate, they are neither inclined or prepared to show how the Obama Democrats are slowly redefining American exceptionalism. "We'll work Harder and Better in Building that Road to Perdition!". Inspiring, eh? Besides, Mr. Kurtz, it ain't so slowly anymore. The vessels of our destruction have damned those torpedoes are Full Speed ahead to Forward!
