They can fight this with specifics. Tell us exactly how this is going to work, and they need to be able to do that in less than two minutes. Right now the Dem argument is, Romney wants your social security and medicare to go down while you work longer for fewer benefits. How long does it take to say that? There you go. If Romney can't explain how that is false, and be specific about it, then the Obama spin will win. There are many people just like me who want to be convinced Romney has a better plan. They don't need to convince guys like Mav. He's already convinced. They don't need to convince guys like Luke. He ain't voting for Obama no matter what. They can't convince guys like AK. But there are millions of guys just like me who are sorely disappointed with Obama and want to take another path. However, we ain't carrying the load for this all by ourselves. We aren't going to be the only ones who sacrifice. Tell us how we're all in this together, and we need specifics on functionality, not idealogy.
Under Romney we won't sacrifice the same. The wealthy will pay much less in taxes, leaving cuts in services, higher taxes and the national debt squarely on the shoulders of the middle class. This isn't class warfare it's dollar warfare, the dollars of the wealthy receive preferential treatment. All our dollars should be treated the same, all Amercans dollars should have the same benefits as Romneys dollars.
See. Here is a perfect example of what I'm referring to. Two sentences. How can Romney answer this charge in a straight-forward way, and be specific? If he can't, he loses.
Romney's "angle" is arguably self-sabotage, whether he knows it or not. Ryan is a Tea Party darling. People will remember the havoc that Tea Party darlings caused in Congress during the debt ceiling crisis. ("Default? Bring it on!") Romney's sidling up to the Tea Party will cost him a lot of Independent votes and it will fire up the Democratic base like nobody's business. Whatever support Romney may have shored up among the unthinking, self-sabotaging, Tea Partying Randian drones will come at a net cost. Bookmark it here.
Funny, while I wrote that I was thinking Obama needs to hire me to write some of his copy. I could write good copy for Romney too but it would cost him more.
You should do it Bigarrow . . . for the sake of country. I urged Jem and Maxi to heap their ideas together and help with the repub campaign ,but those guys don't seem to want to listen.
Another sheepes happy to pay more tax on your dolllar than the wealthy will pay on their dollar. Baaa Baaa I'm a republican.
Another sheep that is happy to take from earners and producers and inefficiently redistribute to non earners. Baa Baa I'm bleeding heart Democrat.
