The Agony of Defeat
The Silent Majority ^ | 10-05-12 | J.D. Longstreet

It was a long time coming but FINALLY Romney is showing some fire in the belly! It blazed in the first debate with Obama and it utterly flummoxed Obama and angered the democrats.

It was a beautiful thing!

Conservatives have been BEGGING for Romney to begin swinging hay-makers at Obama.

Even more enjoyable than seeing Obama's lunch eaten by Romney was to see the deflation of the democrat spin doctors, pundits, and apologists. They had bought into their own PR and their own propaganda and when it turned out to be untrue, they were totally dumb-founded. Apparently, they actually believed the golden-tonsiled Obama would simply sweep all before him with his stratospheric oratory. Uh-uh. Doesn't work that way.

Making a speech and debating are two entirely different things.

I've been a public speaker since I was nine years old. But, to this day, I will not take part in a debate.

Both public speaking and debating are "learned" talents. Few are good at both. Even less are great at both.

We all should understand that these so-called presidential debates are not true debates. They are more akin to duel press conferences with a limited number of interrogators. In many ways they are much simpler and much easier than a true debate. Unfortunately, we learn less about the debaters than we would if these talk-fests were true debates.

The leftist media, better known as the Mainstream Media, had the stuffing knocked out of them at the first debate. That, too, was a beautiful thing.

Was it Obama's Waterloo? Only time will tell -- and there is precious little left 'til November 6th.

The question now is -- will the "October Surprise" even save Obama?

Obama sniffed the airs of defeat during the debate and realised he doesnt have the stomach for it, he realised defeat at the polls will destroy him.
Because his every move has been a preordained victory manipulated by others, he has never tasted the reality of politics, never had to go the head to head battle of leading from opposition to unseat an incumbent.
Suddenly he realises the emporer has no clothes and he cant hide, but he doesnt have the skills to fight, he has always relied on somebody else.

Mitt Romney has exposed his achilles heel, the next shot will be the arrow that brings Obama down.

The people who created and control Obama are not going to walk away without a fight. These same people likely triggered the 2008 financial crisis in September 2008 in order to thoroughly discredit Bush, McCain, and the Republican Party. The mainstream press marches to their direction.

Likely they have an October surprise planned to create fear and uncertainty as well as make Obama seem like the only reasonable choice.

It was something to see.

The Liberals and the MSM ALWAYS have a hell of a time with ‘reality’. This time, they were confronted with it and couldn't escape or sidestep any of it!

For any discourse, public or otherwise, Conservatives have to reduce themselves to the level of Liberal credulity (a trick in itself) WITHOUT compromising themselves... and that's not easy.

Mitt's debate performance and success was the perfect storm for “O” and his corner.

Say what you want, Mitt was the right Conservative, at the right time, in the right place, clearly stating what had to be said, being direct and succinct, remaining objective and positive, respecting the Presidency but demonstrating "O's" inadequacies... on and on!!

Mitt was everything the President of the United States of America is supposed to be. In the comparison, “O” looked as bad and worse than he ever has... I think his back is broken.

Stay right there, Mitt!!!! Don't give “O” an instant to recover or regroup.... “O” has had TOO much of an unfair advantage so far, anyway!!
