What is Romney’s message?
That was a joke, right? That's not how is governed in MA, and that is not how he campaigns. The guy lives and dies by compromise.
Feder needs to grow up. There is no conservative candidate who can sweep the elections. And there is a simple reason for that. There are more takers than makers in America and if enough of them vote we lose. That’s the state of affairs and no amount of bitching and moaning is gonna change it.
And you know this how?
Reagan won the presidency. America would prefer a clear voice than a slippery character. Newt Gingrich spoke with a clearer voice than Romney.
That is really good advice for Romney’s team, make sure they get it.
Source for your accusation.
I live in California, coast is very liberal, interior is not.
Romney is not running TV spots in the Los Angels basin area, obama is running many - I find that very curious.
because , I think, his “supporters” don’t really care enough to get out and vote. I think turnout is going to be Obamas biggest problem. That’s why he’s running ads, to try and scare/bribe his “base” into voting.
Present your counter argument.
Nope.
I will ask you the question, is Romney going to spend his war chest or not?
You are correct I took three years of statistics in college, I would be able to take a poll or write a study getting whatever result I wanted.
Unfortunately, there are many people who beleive them as gospel, they might show trends but unless you read the internals, they really mean nothing.
Thanks for the links.
If you’ve known Feder that long please give him my own thanks for his articles over the decades. I always read them with interest back when real conservatives sought to persuade people on the left, rather than censor and malign any who were not in thrall to the GOP. There were real conservative discussions in those days. Now we’ve just got Republican echo chambers and parrot points.
Is that another way of asking me if I want to help Obama win by helping to discourage Romney voters?
Really?
That is your answer to the question: is Romney going to spend his war chest or not?
Interesting that you apparently have no answer.
This is not Reagans America. This is an America where the POTUS apologizes to jihadists when they murder and defile our Ambassador, an America where the SS disability roll increases faster than employment, an America where men give each other rings and governments tell me they are wed, an America that kills it’s unborn wholesale and imports illegal aliens to replace them and vote for democrats to give them shit, where 70% of urban babies are born out of wedlock and where 50% of Americans pay no taxes and have a working majority, if they all vote, to raise taxes on the producers to give them more things. Reagan slowed it down but he didn’t stop it and neither can anybody else. And that’s the damn truth.
Don Feder is a very intellegent conservative man. Romney is limp. There is a hope he’ll pick up the tempo and win.
He should tell Obama to stop condemning freedom and bowing to the animals who murdered our ambassador. In fact, release a bunch of attacks so the media won’t know which way to spin their butts and Americans will actually get the chance to hear him around the media.
“The typical (too conservative for Romney) critique, oddly never appears on threads in which Romney is not part of the story, i.e. Obama job losses, Obama debt, Fast & Furious, Obamacare, etc. Threads where it is only possible to mock Obama.”
I can’t speak for others, but my critique of Romney is virtually IDENTICAL to my critique of Obama, because the candidates are virtually identical in every way that matters to the future of the Republic.
- neither Obama nor Romney has any intention of properly addressing very serious fiscal and monetary (Fed) problems
- neither Obama nor Romney supports an original intent interpretation of the Constitution
- neither candidate has any credibility on life/abortion
- neither candidate has any credibility on restoration of the 2A
- neither candidate has any credibility on property rights
- neither candidate has any credibility on restricting pro-big government judicial activism
- neither candidate has any intention of beginning the process to reverse socialism
- both candidates are opportunists who will find a way to justify any unconstitutional, immoral or illegal action supported by the executive branch
- etc
Personally, I don’t see how any principled conservative, Christian, traditionalist could possibly vote for either of these sociopaths.
I agree if you are talking about the GOP losing. It is still a debatable proposition if you are talking about conservatives.
The GOP has surrendered to the liberal agenda and therefore runs liberals at the top of the ticket, the GOP is running on the same fumes as perennially losing sports team runs on they throw red meat to their FANicticS.
The GOP has given up and says conservatives cant win, their belief system and an over dependence on talk radio says anybody but Obama, instead of running on a conservative agenda that doesn't change every election cycle. The majority of people vote FOR a politician, the minority who lose elections vote against the other guy. Folks vote based on their self interest. They are not as dumb as we like to believe nor are they as lazy> A coherent conservative message from election cycle to election cycle wins voters to the conservative side. Giving voters liberals on both planks will only result in liberals winning. IMO if you are a conservative you cannot vote for Romney, the GOP needs some tough love. If you are intellectually honest you know we can survive four more years of Obama opposed at every step by Conservatives in the House and Senate. What the country cant survive long term is electing liberals with either a R or D behind their name...
