That Christie guy in New Jersey is probably a bit over-the-top but Romney needs to be a little more like him. Americans love a fighter.
And how!
The most infuriating moment in my political memory is when G.H.W. Bush got all tongue-tied when Clinton said “You are questioning my patriotism”.
Bush should have gotten right in his face and said “Damn right, I am!”
Clinton dissed his country while studying overseas. Clinton visited Moscow at the height of the Cold War and at a time when the KGB would have taken intense interest in any politically motivated American kid on their territory.
There are more examples, but that is good for a start.
THIS ELECTION IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES. EVERY WEAPON IN OUR ARSENAL MUST BE DEPLOYED.
