So Barack Obama is a "sure loser" against any "competent" opponent but against Mitt Romney he's not? Romney wasn't my favored candidate, in fact neither of them were. I was rooting for Paul Ryan to start, and lookie-lookie who's the VP nominee now. To say that Mitt Romney is not a "competent" opponent is asinine. Not only does he have executive experience as governor of Massachusetts, he also spent a lot of his time actually running ###### the private sector. Not only that, he ran in 2008 and lost, and that experience helped him become, easily, the most polished out of the field. Jon Huntsman? Please. That guy was utterly worthless and if you think Romney is a fake, I'm not sure how you could consider Huntsman as a credible guy. Your belief is wrong. You might try to put on the act that you "might have considered Huntsman if he were the candidate, but those damn right wing extremists just HAD to pick MITT ROMNEY!" but we all know that's garbage. C'mon now.
He's "awkward on the campaign trail" and "it shows"? He "says the wrong things" and is "quite unfunny" and "tries too hard"? Have you LISTENED to Barack Obama and Joe Biden speak? I can't even BEGIN to count the idiotic comments made by Obama, Biden, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Stephanie Cutter, Jim Messina, Jay Carney and the rest of the re-election gang? Too bad Mitt can't go around saying things like "they gonna put y'all back in chains" and have it laughed off as "Mitt being Mitt", eh? This assertion is TOTALLY, TOTALLY absurd. I mean, LMFAO.
You try to play this "spoiled rich kid who is cannot relate to the average American" thing, as was totally predictable from the onset from everyone on the left, but that is just such BS. First, Romney gave up his entire inheritance when his Dad died when he donated it to BYU. On top of that, you act like he just sat there and collected checks when he went into business HIMSELF and made his OWN fortune. Why demonize success? I don't know about you but, as an American, I can relate to someone who spends years of his life trying to build up his wealth. His wealth does not mean I cannot be wealthy, as much as so many people try to push that narrative. His wealth does not offend me. It does not make me jealous. It INSPIRES me, actually.
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember when that Obama guy said, "the private sector is doing fine"?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember when that Obama guy said that his policies "worked"?

Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooooo outta touch. Say, remember when that Obama guy pushed that Buffett Rule nonsense not realizing that if you taxed those who make above 1 million dollars a year at 100% of their income, you'd only have enough money to fund govermnent for just a few WEEKS?
Oh, Mitt Romney is soooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy had a best buddy named Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, both unrepentant domestic terrorists who, to this day, hate America, talk about white privilege, and other awful, horrendous garbage?
Oh, Mitt Romney is soooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy had a racist, hateful preacher that he sat in on for 20 years as he spewed out anti-American, racist, evil, hateful rhetoric under "Black Liberation Theology", the creed of the "church" in question?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy had a Harvard professor Derrick Bell? The guy who Obama said we should "open our hearts and minds to"? The guy whose writings Obama assigned on his syllabus at the University of Chicago? Remember how this guy Derrick Bell wrote more racist, hateful, divisive garbage, including a short story called "The Space Traders", which was about white people paying their debt to aliens by sending them black people?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy attended an anti-Israel dinner for a known radical named Rashid Khalidi and how there's a tape of this event that nobody has seen since it is locked up at the LA Times somewhere?
Oh Mitt Romney is sooooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy's father was an anti-American, anti-colonialist and how once his father abandoned him, he was mentored by admitted, unabashed communist Frank Marshall Davis, who would have been eligible for detainment or deporting if actual war broke out between the US and USSR?
Oh Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy thought he was off the mic, and told Russian stooge Dmitri Medvedev that his hands were tied and he'd have more flexibility after the election, who said he'd "transmit to Vladimir".
Oh, Mitt Romney is soooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy and his cronies operate with the Saul Alinsky playbook "Rules for Radicals"? Freeze the target, demonize, never let a good crisis go to waste, etc.
Oh, Mitt Romney is soooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy was a community organizer, a state senator (where he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, btw), and a US senator for a year and a half voting present half the time before launching his Presidential bid?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy somehow, someway got into Harvard and wherever else he got into even though he pretty much admits he was a worthless bum who smoked dope or did coke all the time?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy went on about how the Constitution is fundamentally flawed?
Oh, Mitt Romney is sooooooo outta touch. Say, remember how that Obama guy's wife once said that America is a "downright mean country" and that, in 2008 "for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of this country".
Please tell me how Mitt Romney is SO out of touch just because he has money. Do you think Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are POOR? Do you REALLY think they relate to the average American? Please tell me how someone who actually loves this country, enjoys AND promotes the fruits of this country is somehow out of touch with it. How the hell is Mitt Romney out of touch because he took advantage of living in America and capitalism and made millions of dollars while someone who has spent his entire LIFE detesting this country and being around people who detest this country is somehow IN touch. TELL ME HOW THAT WORKS. And don't even dare telling me how those links in his past don't matter now, considering every single action he takes reflects the ideology that have been instilled in him over the course of his life. Your influences don't just disappear.
You go on and say how Romney is too secretive. I mean, this is just projection, right? Barack Obama is, BY FAR, the LEAST vetted politician in the HISTORY of America. He kept a title at Bain Capital when he left in 1999 to fix the Olympics but everyone involved says he had nothing to do with day to day operations or anything. Just because you're listed as something on SEC documents doesn't mean you have any operation control. And you go on about how Bain Capital is some evil entity or something, fully failing to realize that Obama's budget director is a Bain guy and his campaign has taken thousands of dollars from Bain. And please, spare me the tax nonsense. A) He's released all he's had to. B) If he's hiding something, the IRS would know and he'd be in prison. C) People demanding to see tax returns know full damn well that no matter WHAT is on those tax returns, it wouldnt change a damn thing and they'd bitch more and more and more. I literally cannot believe you have the audacity to say Romney is "too secretive" yet, apparently, you must thing Barack Obama is an open book. How is Mitt Romney too secretive when Barack Obama used executive privilege to block documents from being released about a plan that was intentionally crafted by Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, etc that ran guns to Mexican cartels on purpose, resulting in the deaths of over 300 people including US Border Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Zapata? I mean, c'mon now, be serious here.
And ROMNEY has a sense of entitlement? Holy crap man. Do you even KNOW the guy you're defending. Barack Obama is the KING of entitlement. He's been entitled his entire life. When challenged, he acts like a five year old. Remember when he came into office and said "I won", as if that means we should just cede power to him? And don't get me started on his whole "okay, if Congress won't do something, I'll just do it by executive order" stuff, like with the 800,000 illegals and the stripping of the work requirement from the 1996 welfare reform legislation, and that was just in the last month! I mean, I don't even know where to begin. And not only does he FEEL entitled, he makes sure to keep the entitlements flowing so that more government dependency is created. It's how they keep power. I mean, LMFAO here. You literally have me stretching my hands out, shaking my head, and laughing here.
The guy has the press in his back pocket. All he does is blame the past. When he doesn't get his way, when things don't break for him, all he makes are excuses. Earthquakes, tsunamis, the Middle East, Europe, Bush, Bush, Bush, Palin, Cheney, Republicans, Limbaugh, whoever. And oh, don't get me started on the whole "oh, you can't criticize Barack Obama and his policies, because you're a racist if you do" garbage. He's got the ultimate sense of entitlement because he feels he can do no wrong. He's been told he can do no wrong his entire life. He's got an army of people willing to give him verbal and textual ###### at the drop of a hat on any issue. He's been guided along by people like Valerie Jarrett (do a search on her if you don't know who or what she is). He's been handed everything. You want a guy with the ultimate sense of entitlement? Look at him. If the press and people in general did their jobs, Obama wouldn't even SNIFF the Presidency because of the associations and beliefs he possesses. But Romney is the secretive one, lol.
I like how you say "to top it off he picks Ryan", when Ryan is like, the only guy in Washington---forget the Presidential race---that has ACTUAL plans to fix ######. You DO realize that entitlement reform and the economy go hand in hand right? You DO realize that prospects for long-term fiscal health affects short-term fiscal health, right? If you think the fight is just about Medicare, then that's a shame. Say, how about that Obama taking 700 billion dollars out of Medicare to pay for Obamacare? Oh but it's Ryan who wants to throw granny off a cliff. Got it. Picking Ryan actually shows that Romney IS in touch with getting ###### in order economically now and in the future.
Akin is a non-issue. A total non-issue. Every single prominent Republican has disowned that loser. Ryan is against abortion, sure, but he's literally made his ENTIRE CAREER about fiscal issues. Besides,he's the VP. Tell me how the VP has ANY power to influence policy in this regard. Romney has flip-flopped often and that's one of the big complaints about Romney on the right. But you can't go in one paragraph and say he's a flip-flopper and in another say he's "omg, such an extremist". If you guys are gonna try to make everything about abortion, then let's go for it. Oh, that aforementioned Born Alive Infant Protection Act that Obama voted against in Illinois, yeah, well, that law protects the babies who survive abortion from being killed. Obama voted AGAINST it. And he's also on record about being cool with third trimester abortions too. Now THAT'S an extremist. And somehow Ryan and Romney are the extremists because of one idiot that nobody even KNEW about a week ago? Please.
People's minds won't be made up in the summer. Somehow, some way, the majority of people aren't even paying attention yet. The only people who pay attention right now are the diehard political types. Actually, many polls are still using "registered" instead of "likely" voters, which will change coming very soon. I don't care much for polls, but if you take a look, look at recent trends. Romney hasn't tapped into his cash, you're right. He's got a lot of cash. And they're gonna use it. And good for him. I like how everyone complains about Romney's cash yet they don't care about the INSANE money that Obama was collecting and throwing around in the 2008 campaign.
In short, it's the economy stupid. Obama has failed on the economy. He can't run on his own record, so he's going to lie and distort. This is how he works. It's the Chicago Way.
It's clear you're no expert in our internal affairs. Really clear.
Go read about the Community Reinvestment Act, subprime mortgages, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, then go read about George W. Bush calling for reform of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac multiple times throughout his Presidency only to be met with denials that anything was wrong by prominent Democrats such as Maxine Waters, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, John Kerry, and countless others.
