MORMONism apologist in action...

One of the things fellow Republicans and political observers have never liked about Mitt Romney is the wholesome piety he exhibits on the stump, while his hacks and PACs engage in some of the ugliest politics around. He can flash that plastic smile and pretend all he wants, but people know the cold fish doesn't shy away from the politics of personal destruction. If anything, his campaigns embrace it more than most, while feigning ignorance and pretending otherwise himself.
This is why so many people in the GOP have come to dislike Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney backer and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's comments this morning that Newt Gingrich "embarrassed" the Republican Party has the formerr House Speaker's Florida campaign co-chairman, Alan Levine, fuming.
"Far be it from me to tell the governor of New Jersey to focus on his own state, but this isn't a way to begin a campaign in Florida. It's disappointing," said Levine, a former healthcare chief under Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal who is new a private-sector hospital executive.
But now he's panicking because his South Carolina campaign has become a laughing stock. I've talked with some long-time operatives on the ground, in some cases, they've alienated more people than they've pulled in. There's also talk that his people in Florida are starting to panick, now, too.
Mitt Romney can use a legal facade to feign ignorance with his PAC problems. But he can't do that with his surrogates who come with faces and names. He could call, or call-out a Coulter, or Christie and ask them to stand down. But he won't. And even if he did, he wouldn't mean it.
His weak political skills are catching up to him. Unable to truly connect with voters, it now appears he's going to try and rely on some slash and burn surrogates to tear the other guy down.
It won't work. Ultimately, all this vitriol is going to circle back and make him all the more unlikeable to the base, something he already is to a good degree. If he keeps it up, this puppy, Mittens, is going down. The use of surrogates, not PACs for his ugly brand of politics, brings it just a bit too close to home for him to continue to hide it. Voters always reject real ugliness in politics. They'll reject both it and Mitt Romney this time around, too.
I take my grandsons to the Flying Tigers baseball games on "All you can eat Wednesdays!"
$10 for a great seat and all you can eat at the concession stands. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, cracker jacks. Last year they had Wing House as a sponsor and they had 10 different kinds of wings for the all-you-can-eat night.
As a sales rep what do you sell?
I am a Wholesale Commercial Contract Specialist. Which means I sell Flooring for Hospitals, Schools and other Commercial Businesses. Rubber Tile, Vinyl Tile, Wood Floors, Commercial Sheet Vinyls for Hospitals, etc. When you go to Publix the tile on the floor is what I sell.
I just went to work for this company 6 mos ago. I had a job for 15 yrs with another company, but Obama has destroyed their business, which in turn was making me miserable. These folks were my competitor and they offered me a nice position. I am a lucky women to have landed on my feet.
It sounds like fun @Tiger Town for you! Great little stadium isn’t it? Lakeland has been a decent place to land, can’t say its my last hunting ground, but it has worked for us.
