Now Newsweek Is Calling Romney A Wimp. Projection Much?

I can't think of any other liberal rag so desperate for attention (and getting it) than Newsweek...now they're calling Mitt Romney a wimp...really? Why on earth did they want to go there?

I don't even have to manufacture a concept like I did here and here...I just have to insert real pictures, and it's a more realistic cover than anything the left can throw at Romney.

I fully understand the media motive, and the best way to counteract them is by going full-Alinsky and laughing in their faces and ridiculing them by calling them shameless gossips.

They declared him a bully amidst the family denials.

See post 21, there has been no denials by anyone, Romney even gave a Bill Clinton style admission and apology.

Regardless, the point is that he is both. Bully or wimp. Diametrically opposing narratives. The former lost its legs. The latter will ride for now. They must feel the Dukakis tank picture, much like the Howard Dean effeminate scream are more effective in disabling a candidate hence I doubt we will read any further stories with the bully aspect. Bush was a cowboy as was Reagan. Elder Bush was a combat veteran pilot that was shot down. Kerry couldn’t overcome his wimp factor no matter how many medals he got on lies. Making Romney out to be a bully only helped him and perhaps that is why the clintonesque non denial denial and non apology apology. Many like stronger leaders. The media has now switched gears. Time will tell if they all sync up on the wimp narrative.

They are the same, Mitt is a wimp, next to Obama Mitt is the biggest wimp to ever be in the running.

Mitt’s bully attack was not one of a tough guy, or even a fight of any type.

In Mitt’s attack, he formed a group to hold down an already effeminate guy, and THEN Romney cut off his hair, it was many against one, the action of a cowardly wimp.

snicker. I don’t think it happened but it doesn’t matter. It is kind of funny how gnarled up you get over forgotten lore decades ago. I am not cheer-leading for or against so it’s no skin off me either way. Carry on.

Since Romney already gave a Clintonian admission and apology for it we know that the witnesses were telling the truth.

Some things show a true lack of character, the worst, and this attack did that for Mitt, it fits in with everything that we know about him.

This fits in with his refusal to serve in the military and his admission that he had no intention of doing so, yet him publicly mocking and demonstrating against the others who shared his same feelings and fears as Mitt played to the crowd and authorities as the BMOC.

Over and over we see this wimp factor, his leaving the GOP because of Reagan, his pathological lying about everything, his quietly becoming a democrat supporter and fund raiser, his doing the worst things and then lying about them like when the check and the photo proved that he was lying about his fund raising for Planned Parenthood, or that he wasn’t really a gun-owner, or that he and his father never marched with MLK as he claimed, or that he was a mere student when God told his church to accept blacks when in reality Mitt was a 30 something businessman, it just goes on and on.

There is nothing manly about the wimp.

Not to get into cheer-leading for or against, but it is clear the GOP old guard Republican’s still rule the party. I have to give it to the Rove’s of the world and the Rockefeller Republican wing. They are good at destroying the conservatives that run and ran. I quit thinking there was much of a difference in the parties long ago anyway. What bothers me more is that the media is still in control. There is a list of narratives they wrote about many of the good candidates over the years. Palin=stupid and unqualified. Bachmann=crazy. Cain-uncle tom sex abuser. Gingrich=unstable and temperamental. Thompson=cancer ridden and no fire in the belly. The list goes on and on. On the other side you get the media driven narratives that Clinton=strong woman. Obama=intelligent and hopeful. The list goes on and on and on. With Mitt, well they laid low on him while they systematically took out his opponents one narrative at a time. It’s Mitt’s turn. They were only his friend so a real conservative couldn’t win. McCain basically the same.

But not to belabor the point, their work ( the media ) has been accomplished in California and it looks like the tide will never turn there. Not one republican, and certainly no conservative won a single state wide race. They are amping up the war against conservatives one special interest group at time and make no mistake that the flood of illegals, the war against voter ID, and the war against women, gays and minorities is all measured as the white population becomes smaller as a percentage. Manufactured outrage and guilt. The dumbing down of the masses. Public school indoctrination.

Mitt Obama? Take your pick. Not much difference. I do think Obama has far more nefarious goals in mind. Slow death of a thousand cuts or a quick death. My biggest concern is the economy to be honest. My business and my family’s welfare are paramount to anything. I do wonder what kind of country my children are going to be living in 10, 20, 50 years from now. I know it won’t be the country I knew.
