What's weird about this ring is the fact that it is the SAME ring he wore PRIOR to getting married.. Michelle placed his old ring on his finger at their wedding. That's some SERIOUS allegiance to Islam, there. Now we know why he can't even say 'war on terror'. It offends him.
In retrospect, I think this has been Romney's strategy all along. It's somewhat cynical, but it depends on voters having a short memory and coming into Election Season with late interest. I think that most do on both accounts (excluding many Freepers, of course.)
Romney was not going to be a victim of media burnout. He put little information out there during the summer, skipped the TV interviews, and largely avoided giving the media any morsels to twist, contort, mis-represent, question, or otherwise distort into a policy or idea that was largely untrue.
The Obama campaign began with their charachiture of Romney as soon as it was apparent Mitt would get the nomination. They spent a significant amount of money, which was essentially pissed away after the first debate.
Meanwhile, Romney had a strong debate, and is basically using the month of October to build the "Big Mo," headed toward Election Day.
Excellent piece.
Before the hords arrive to wail that if we arm Syrian rebels we will be arming our enemies in the tradition of the Arab Spring stupidity...
This seems to me to overstate what Romney said about Assad’s opposition. I got from his speech that we would only arm an opposition if they passed our careful screening and muster - NOT that we would willy nilly arm Assad’s opponents.
Mitt pointed out in the speech that al qaeda is ON THE MOVE in Lybia, Syria and elsewhere. He is clearly aware that you don’t call it the Arab Spring and cluelessly arm whomever opposes Assad or anyone else.
I’m glad he never onced used that stupid term, Arab Spring.
Can you say “pressure”?
