Commander Mitt (Butt Head) Romulous, leader of the mother ship “Magic Underwear” , has made several European stops in his flight to the planer Kolob. At each stop he’s done his best to offend the rest of the world in a similar fashion as his predecessor the great “Dubya”. Offensive comments are the base for the GOP foreign policy that Obama can’t seem to replicate.

And yet Mitt is leading in some of the polls around the country. Obama has no policy at all, in anything. No budget, no plan (except to raise taxes) can you ObamaTAXcare. Can't wait for Nov. to roll around and get the clown out of DC and send him back to Chicago.
Seems the Tea Party is still alive and kicking(a$$) especially in Texas.

It’s all too easy to hyperventilate about the importance of this or that campaign development in an electorate where swing voters are few and pay little attention to the news, but Mitt Romney appears to have blundered his way into a bona fide political disaster with his tax plan. Republican policy elites and fund-raisers fervently believe, for both moral and economic reasons, in the paramount necessity of cutting taxes for the rich. This position is, however, a political trap; the vast majority of Americans want taxes on the rich to be higher, not lower, and the commitment to cutting taxes on the rich further requires larger entitlement cuts or higher middle class taxes, both of which are more unpopular still.
At the outset of his campaign, Romney tried to avoid committing himself, but by February, with GOP rivals outflanking him and facing steady pressure from Republican elites, he declared himself in favor of a 20 percent tax cut, a move greeted with joy from anti-tax activists. But he still attempted to hide the ball. Romney promised that his rate cut would be matched by closing tax deductions and some unspecified allowance for economic growth, and thus would not decrease the level (or the share) of taxes paid by the rich. Romney’s boast that his plan could not be scored revealed the essential calculation. But the campaign miscalculated. Yesterday’s study by the Brookings Institution and the Tax Policy Center showed that, even allowing for the faster growth predicted by Romney’s own economist, there aren’t enough tax deductions to account for the cost of the lower rates for the rich — raising taxes for the middle class would be the only way to make Romney’s promises add up. Romney didn’t hide the ball well enough.

The Romney campaign is better at dismantling than mantling. They're better at taking opponents apart than building a compelling candidate of their own. They do not seem capable of deepening his meaning, making his stands and statements more textured and interesting. He comes across like a businessman who studied the data and came up with the formula that will make the deal. A particular problem is that he betrays little indignation at any of our problems and their causes. He's always sunny, pleasant, untouched by anger. This leaves people thinking, "Excuse me, but we are in crisis. Financially and culturally we fear our country is going down the drain. This guy doesn't seem to be feeling it. So why's he running? Maybe he thinks it's his personal destiny to be president. But if the animating passion of his candidacy is about him, not us, who needs him?"

First get your own screen name, if you a capable of free thought, but I doubt it. Second, the country needs Mitt, conservative, to dismantle the debt obama has dumped on us and our children and grandchilden, not to mention obamaTAXcare. He is now in the middle of creating a welfare state out of the entire country. November can't come fast enough....then we can turn the clown in a lame duck! OMG = Obama must go One & Done We are hoping for a big change!
