    Excellent Quote.

    One thing I can add to make this more colorful, the buckets in Churchhill's metaphors and dreams were always filled with whisky :)

    Staying Focused In The Age Of Mudslinging
    by Greg Campbell


    Every four years, we must endure this. Every four years, the narrative remains relatively static with only minor differences. Every presidential election, voters must endure the inconsequential discussions of personal finances. We have come full circle in America, where to court the blue-collar vote, the Democrats must paint anyone who makes more than minimum wage as elitist, despite the fact that anybody who rises to prominence to such a degree that they warrant serious consideration as a presidential candidate is certainly well-off, no matter what the party affiliation. It’s embarrassing to witness.

    We have seen much mud-slinging lately with regards to Romney’s money. The man is rich. He may not know what Top Ramen tastes like, but does that really matter? While I have generally abstained from this discussion, I can hold my tongue no more. The fact remains that I find myself far less interested in how Romney got his money and what he plans to do with it than I am in why the government has my money and what it plans on doing with it. That’s the real story here.

    Since the media seems all too willing to be complicit in helping the leftists paint their narrative, then I will do my part to share some lesser-heard perspectives.
    1.Most importantly, we must be more concerned with how government affects each one of us and our communities. Each and every attack on Romney’s finances is an attempt to refocus the attention of the American people from three and a half years of epic executive failure and a crippling of our economy that we are generations away from repairing. So, whenever you hear that Romney made a million dollars somewhere, ask yourself which is more relevant to your political position: that Romney made money, or that you will lose money as the $1.76 trillion healthcare law hits the middle class over the next ten years?
    2.The proverbial man in a glass house, I don’t think Obama is in any kind of position to throw stones and question anybody’s willingness to open themselves up for scrutiny. The transparency of this administration makes the Politburo look like an open book. More secretive than Nixon, this administration has been anything but transparent. It will not release information regarding the bin Laden raid, except in circumstances where Obama can spike the football. It has broken the promise that there will be public discussions before signing bills into law. According to the Cato Institute, Obama has broken this promise with 48% of all bills signed. He refuses to release his college records, White House visitor logs remain secret, and the president has a secret enemy kill list. Most importantly, he invoked executive privilege to cover up the outrageous treason of his justice department that left a Border Patrol Agent dead. So, no, I don’t care about Romney’s finances when compared to Obama’s unwillingness to divulge things that are actually our business as citizens.
    3.I am far more concerned with Obama’s history of radicalism. He was born to radical parents, raised by different radicals, and was educated by radicals. He has been associated with Rashid Khalidi, Derrick Bell, the infamous racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, Bernardine Dohrn and, of course, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers among countless others. But, while we are supposed to be weary of Romney because he has money obtained through private enterprise and protected through sound finances, we are not to question why this man has strong links to radicals and bomb-planting terrorists. Does this sound like complete nonsense to anyone else?
    4.I reject this trend in American politics to paint anyone that has succeeded as being nefarious in nature. This kind of rhetoric is the kind of thing people heard in the Soviet Union. Whereas once this was a country that valued successes, now it is a race to the bottom to see who can paint themselves as the true commoner. I, for one, do not want a common president. I want one that has made a success of himself and wishes to bring that level of enthusiasm for success to the highest office. We need a president that believes in making money and keeping it. How we ever thought that electing a community organizer, whose purpose in life was to enable the lowest elements of society by inciting class warfare, was a good idea, I’ll never know.

    The lesson here is that we cannot let the message get skewed. The Obama Campaign is very skilled at creating a narrative that can distract voters from the real issues. Even if we engage to defend these inconsequential side-issues, the Obama Campaign has succeeded in shifting our attention from the multitude of cultural, political and economic failures this administration has produced. Let this be an election of ideas, not of trivial, divisive matters. Let us ask the tough questions of candidates. Who’s going to improve the economy? Who’s going to promote American ideals both culturally and economically? And, of course, as our old friend Reagan would say, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”

    Trouble with this is that Obama will now schedule a 5 minute catered meeting with his %%$$##@@ Jobs Council and invite 300 "friendly" journalists and camera crews to plaster their observations all over newspapers and TV shows of the whole planet... :(

    Yeah you are right quite frankly Obama is doing less damage when he is on the golf course than when he is cooking up hair brained schemes to create a bunch more government jobs.....
