As I've mentioned several times before, the best thing Mitt Romney can do to help himself win the coming presidential election is to go somewhere, hide for a while, not say a word and leave the POTUS completely alone. Because, without any help from anyone at all, the Democrats are burying themselves alive. And as every day goes by, more truths come about them and their dysfunctional party and proves how they've mismanaged just about everything they touch.
Just a few recent examples of their ineptitude and inability to grasp even the most fundamental aspects of everyday life include: POTUS comments caught on camera where he told the Russians not to worry and just be patient because he'd make them happy after his reelection. He followed that up by trying to intimidate the Supreme Court with warnings not to overturn his likely illegal health care law.
Then there's the news that came out about the GSA spending almost a million dollars of taxpayer's money on a party in Las Vegas in 2010, not to mention the advance expenses run up by the planners who set the whole rip-off up.
However, when it comes to funds for veterans health care, it's a whole different story because he proposed requiring them to carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 billion annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. And here's what he said, "Look, it's an all volunteer force. Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute. I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country." As for me, I think his words speak for themselves.
Beyond that, there's his ideas about funding abortion and birth control which has frosted a significant number of Catholic voters across the nation, which is no longer front page news but I seriously doubt the subject's gone away and expect it will have a major negative effect next November.
But, not to be outdone by the POTUS himself, one of his most trusted advisors, Hillary Rosen, stated that Ann Romney, a mother of five, shouldn't comment about working women because as a stay-at-home mom she's never worked a day in her life. And, while I don't have the exact numbers I've read that the negative reaction to her words set some kind of record on Twitter accounts.
In the meantime, however, while all of the various groups the administration's offending are licking their wounds and waiting to get even next November just yesterday another display of absolute incompetence erupted. Because as many as twelve -although the actual number's not been confirmed yet- members of the POTUS' Secret Service staff were sent home from Colombia for consorting with hookers. And although prostitution is legal there, for men supposedly responsible for guarding the president's life, it just doesn't seem to be the proper thing to do.
Therefore, getting back to my original subject, in view of the unfunny joke this administration's turned the presidency into, the best thing Mitt Romney can do for himself and his party is to lay low and be patient. Because while it's quite obvious the incumbent's drowning job-wise, as every day goes by he seems to be finding more buckets of water to throw at himself.
That's for today folks.
Adios
