CNBC's Harwood: Eastwood Speech 'Big Blunder, Big Set-Back For Romney'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/08/2012 7:10:40 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Guess John Harwood was feeling lucky today. CNBC's chief Washington correspondent went on the Today show and boldly proclaimed that not only did Clint Eastwood not accomplish his mission with his RNC speech, but that the speech is almost universally viewed by political professionals as "a big blunder, a big set-back for Mitt Romney."

Harwood did not adduce a scintilla of evidence in support of his contention that the speech hurt Romney. And his universe of pundits apparently does not include people like Jonah Goldberg or Mark Steyn.

Meanwhile, does ANYBODY remember ANYTHING from the DNC Convention? Except, of course, that they hate God, hate Israel, want unlimited abortion through the ninth month, and want free contraceptives for all regardless of the conscience of those who must be coerced to pay.

Once again, my advice is to rub it well with Poison Ivy. That way, when it’s stolen, you can check out your neighbors for Calamine Lotion!

What polling do you have to show that this statement is true? Romney no bounce. Democrats look like they are getting a significant one. Stunts do not win elections. Messaging does. The Romney messaging sucks. Always on the defensive. How do you not mention the troops? Romney has one more chance.... The debates. I have watched all of Romney’s debates. I am not hopeful.

You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s as simple as it was the first time it was said. “It’s the economy stupid.” And Obama is going down hard.

Or a picture of Dirty Harry and the quote.......”Leave the Premises Now!”

Not one of his quotes as you know, but relevant.

Yes, and his effective use of ridicule shows us just how treacherous Clint Eastwood really is.

“Josey Wales” took out the “Red Leg” Democrats in just under 12 minutes.

I have responded to approximately half a dozen naysayers this morning and have yet to receive a reply.

John Harwood hates conservatives. There's no way in hell he'd be concerned about the impact of Eastwood's speech if it really hurt us. The message that all of Hollywood is NOT liberal - helps us. The message that Obama has NOT done the job - and that we have the right to fire him - helps. That it's OUR country and we hire people in government is important.

We don't belong to government. Never.

Hey Ben!

Joe the Plumber was the last guy to insult Obama but that didn’t work out well at all. This might, but I am not sure.

I wish I could share your optimism, but evil is on the march and has gone further and received more in such a short space than I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

They wont easily toss their chief tool aside now,

Pray for God to heal this land,
