Mitt's "ideas" are a grab bag of mostly discredited old socialist nostrums. Tax cuts are necessary but would take months for their effect to be fully felt on the economy. The most dangerous and stupid of Mitt's recommendations are his call for the Fed to "continue to expand the money supply" and his zeal for "infrastructure projects" (pork) that "should be a high priority." This is absolutely indistinguishable from what the Big Zero has proposed. Naturally, Mitt wants to reform entitlement spending "as soon as the economy recovers," which is to say, never. Certainly, Mitt must remember the stagflation of the late 70's when that economic genius, Jimmy Carter, figured out how to have a recession and high inflation at the same time. I can only conclude that Mitt is either a fool or a dishonest phony who is pandering his worthless remedies for momentary political gain. Having observed him in action up close for 14 years now, I conclude that it is the latter.
As for your point about "heckling," I will continue to vocally oppose those politicians whose programs I disagree with and support those with which I am in agreement. Should the GOP hang it up as a party? After the socialism of W. and the debacle of McCain, perhaps it is time to pull the plug on it and start fresh from basic conservative principles.
I can only conclude that Mitt is either a fool or a dishonest phony who is pandering his worthless remedies for momentary political gain. There is a scene right at the start of the pretty funny movie "Legally Blond" where the well-pedigreed, smarmy, kiss-ass, handsome, very self-assured, suave boyfriend shows up at the door for a date. It's a hilarious scene for any of us who remember the Mitts from our own adolescence and youth. Mitt's a cross between that character and Eddie Haskell, but there was something always likeable about Eddie. Mitt's an empty carton.
