American Crossroads: Build

Take the TelePrompTer away and we find he is not the smartest man in America.

Speaking of which...

If Romney is serious about trouncing the POSOTUS then he needs to set in concrete the following terms for any debates with the SCoaMF:

1)  No teleprompters or notes allowed, period.

2)  No Townhall BS with stacked participants asking asinine questions.

3)  No internet/Twitter or other ignorati dominated BS allowed.

4)  No MTV (or similar) participation, period.

5)  Unlimited candidate veto power over all moderators and panels, we want the blandest of the bland...that way the spotlight will be on the candidates, not the format or the side actors.

6)  I know I won't get this one but I am throwing it in anyway cause I would love to see it - lie detectors wired to each candidate with another set of wires wrapped around their junk in case they lie.

Feel free to add your own, but 1-5 ought to be adopted no matter what!

President Obama’s campaign scrambled to combat Republican efforts to highlight his “you didn’t build that” remark — a sign there are concerns the story could have legs far into the election cycle.

The actions indicate Democrats are concerned the remark could haunt the campaign, especially given the persistent GOP strikes at Obama’s handling of the economy. Republicans have repeatedly knocked the president for not understanding the private sector, and their attacks have been amplified by criticism from business leaders, who were unhappy with Obama’s comment.

“Obama did for Romney what Romney couldn’t do for himself, which is to create a clear contrast and unlock emotions on the key issue of the campaign,” said Republican strategist Ford O’Connell. “It helps Romney with independents, with GOPers and with white, working-class Democrats who needed an economic message that they could rally around.”

Arch conservative (seriously, he is) Pat Sajak said this about President Zero's "you didn't build that" profundity:

Quote
It's as if President Obama climbed into a tank, put on his helmet, talked about how his foray into Cambodia was seared in his memory, looked at his watch, misspelled "potato" and pardoned Richard Nixon all in the same day. It's fun to imagine the hand-wringing that must be going on within the White House as staffers try to figure out how to undo the damage their boss has done with his anti-entrepenurial riff. Defining moments in politics are strange beasts. Sometimes they're only recognized in hindsight, while sometimes they throw the train off the tracks before a sentence has been completed. Sometimes their effect can be contained and minimized, while sometimes their effect on the political narrative mestastasizes. This one is very bad for the White House.

These defining moments take hold most devastatingly when they confirm what a large portion of the electorate already believes. Taken alone, it seems unfair that a single moment, an unguarded remark or a slip of the tongue can carry such weight. They're often dismissed as "gotcha" moments, but when voters are able to nod and say, "I knew it," these moments stick and do terrible damage. We have witnessed such a moment.

"...create a clear contrast..."

No sh*t.  Now go tell it to the GOP leadership, if they would only give the Rovian's, RINO's & moderates the boot and run conservative candidates and act like conservatives and not get corrupted by the system perhaps we would stand a chance of defeating the Left once and for all, but they all drank the inclusiveness KoolAid long ago and are not going to change.

Proves the point Rush makes all the time "conservatism wins every time", too bad nobody listens.

Yup Co! I'm with the crowd that thinks that this 'gaff' by Obumbles (and we all know it wasn't a gaff!) will be the point in history that everyone forevermore points to and recognizes as the beginning of the end of Obama's attempt at a 2nd term. I still agree with Trap in that, Obama's gonna lose and lose big in November. I think the dems as a party are going to see 2010 from their voting booths and cringe. As Trap, I'm also on record as believing that it is going to be a very VERY bad election for the dems. It may even put them out of future political contention for a few election cycles or more (depending on Romney's performance during his administration).

I'm confident of all that.

What scares the crap right out of me however, is the simple fact that we got to a point that enabled the democrats to attain this sort of power over us to begin with. Though I think this election is is going to be good for America - I'm seriously scared about the future.

They may be throwing it. They have achieved the sort of lasting damage the hoped for. A precedent that allows them to tax you if you don't do as your betters decide you should do- even if doing so violates your inalienable rights. They have a massive new entitlement and passed a stimulus that pretty much will ensure that the damage they did with Freddie and Frannie and the subprime crisis will result in a collapse during the next term.  This is an election for President Scapegoat, the crisis will come, and Romney the liberal shill and the feckless GOP will get the blame,  and the DEMs  will put someone up to play FDR II- and then the country is really  over.

It matters not, collapse is imminent as the rule of law is dead and has been for a very long time. When those that are charged to keep people's money safe and secure do the exact opposit AND get away with it, nobody's fiat money is safe. The government can and does decide who to prosecute based upon how they feel politically towards that individual. Corzine is just another in a long list of criminals that won't be touched unless you or I decide that we won't put up with this sh*t any longer.

 It's safe to say that we've pretty much decided that,but it's the rest of the country that needs to get with the programme.The sad part is I don't trust them to do it.

Agreed, morons most of them and the one that aren't are complicit wanting our destruction. I told my mother the firearms I was stocking up for the coming insurrection and told he that I wasn't planning on letting her or her friends take anymore of my liberty away and furthermore that I fully expected to die fighting taking as many of them to the next world as possible.

It started out well enough as she always looking to give me tips for healthy living to which I replied that I didn't want to live in this world under progressive rule longer than I had to. She then began spouting off about the international banksters wanting to divide and conquer and my reply was "such as black against white, Hispanic vs black, rich vs poor etc...then I said if she was against it all why does she continue to support the thug usurper president that constantly employs these tactics. No, the light bulb didn't come on after that either. I left after politely saying goodbye to my step father a man that I deeply respect after putting up with her incoherent gobbledygook for thirty years.

The sad thing is that so many of these people are incapable of recognizing danger until they personally suffer pain and loss. It must be part of the human experience. It's the only explanation I can come up with for why they blithely trod down a road whose destination is plainly pointed out by history.

Even then, some don't learn.  They side with their jailers against others.  There were Jews collaborating with the Nazis even in the death camps.

everybody can't be a sheep.  Our responsibility is how good of
a notasheep are we going to be?  I ask to be guided and bolstered
to do whatever I do best and what He wants me to do to help bring
this nation back into Covenant with Him.  I'm really not worried.

They don't get they crossed a line they shouldn't have, because they really don't believe they have boundaries in regards to others. My other, who I now don't have anything to do with, was the same. She saw no reason why her tips for "healthy living" shouldn't be imposed on others by the govt if you failed to heed her advice.  She even went into my Step brother's home and threatened to call child services if he decided to leave his child  home without supervision over the summer.  After we bought guns she went into a rant over that- figured that we were going to come kill her in a murderous rampage - because WHAT ELSE ARE GUNS GOOD FOR? The point that we bought them to defend ourselves against her bullying- was lost on her. After all, she should be allowed to bully others, she has good intentions. She couldn't possibly be the cause of the dividing. We must all be one herd, all following the same rules, and having the same values - because there is safety in numbers. They know the boat is sinking, but they are happier to kill everyone by forcing them into the same boat than to let anyone individual survive and prosper.. 

You should ask your mother how these evil banksters are able to compel you to do business with them- any answer she gives : Monopoly, inflation, Police Forces, whatever - the answer always comes down to govt coercion. If the government is bought, why is you solution to give even more power to government? Won't that power be bought too?  The people you elect will be better? Like Obama? Like President Goldman Sachs who passed a bill requiring us to do business with private insurance companies under such terms as the govt dictates? Like the President who ran his own Bain capital with taxpayer funds? He enriched his buddy,   evil CEOs with billions in loans while their companies when bankrupt and closed? I am really thinking we should pass a bill requiring all Liberals to purchase a gun and be trained at its use or pay a tax - 1st, the liberal courts would have to find a way to overturn it, and it would be difficult to do without invalidating Obamacare at the same time. 2nd, it would piss them off.  3rd, I suspect gun and range accidents would increase. Its fine to give barbarians guns as long as you are reasonably sure they will shoot themselves with it.
