BloggeRhythms 9/18/2012

An article on myFOXdc.com this morning, by Julie Pace of  Associated Press, says that “President Barack Obama's re-election campaign doesn't want to talk about what the Democrat is doing to prepare for the fall debates with Republican Mitt Romney. But aides are readily setting expectations - and not surprisingly, they want to keep them low for Obama while raising the stakes for Romney.” And I still don’t get it.
 
I’ve written this subject up before, and still don’t understand debates. To me they rank right up there with speeches, another aspect of politics that I believe, makes no sense. Because we’ve all got a very clear picture of politicians records, and for those who don’t, the information’s quite simple to research, especially today where there’s reams of data of all types on the web. So, knowing precisely what they do, and how, and when, what difference does it possibly make as to what politico’s say? Especially when it’s also been proven for all time that 99% of it is BS and always has been in the cases of those whom are unfit for the office they now hold.  
 
Consequently, after close to four years of watching complete and utter failure in almost every aspect of job performance there is, who in the world could be dumb enough to believe anything put forth by the incumbent? Because there are simply no words left that can overcome his actual performance, especially in the case of this guy who does nothing 24/7/365 but talk, and talk, and talk, and talk.
 
And, as I’ve stated many times here before, I myself wish I could have gotten away with hot air excuses when I totally screwed up jobs in the real world. However, in that realm, people are forced to produce or get out because business folks tend to really care about positive results and therefore, quickly toss poor performers and unqualified phonies out on their ears.  
 
Along the same lines, in a posting on The New York Times on-line,   Michael D. Shear and Michael Barbnaro write that  “Romney Calls 47% of Voters Dependent in Leaked Video.”  
 
The authors say that: “During a private reception with wealthy donors this year, Mitt Romney described almost half of Americans as “people who pay no income tax” and are “dependent upon government.” Those voters, he said, would probably support President Obama because they believe they are “victims” who are “entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.”
 
They continue on to state: “In a brief and hastily called news conference Monday, Mr. Romney acknowledged having made the blunt political and cultural assessment, saying it was “not elegantly stated,” but he stood by the substance of the remarks, insisting that he had made similar observations in public without generating controversy.”
 
Furthermore, they claim “Democrats quickly condemned the remarks as insensitive, and Mr. Obama’s campaign accused Mr. Romney of having “disdainfully written off half the nation.”
 
Then Romney went on to say that, 47 percent of the people will vote for Mr. Obama no matter what, and  are dependent upon government, believe that they are victims, and believe the government has a responsibility to care for them. And also, those people “pay no income tax,” and “so our message of low taxes doesn’t connect.”
 
Consequently, he concludes, “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
 
In this instance, what I find amusing is how the failing New York Times finds Mitt Romney’s views so appalling. They seem to deem it wrong, rude, or out of line to relate in public factors that are unequivocally true and correct. So, perhaps, this is another vivid example of a major difference between Republicans and Dems'. Because Republicans will clearly state their views, beliefs and opinions out loud instead of presenting totally phony precepts whenever they think somebody else might be listening.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
