I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT ROMNEY WANTS TO "DO GOOD" AS PRESIDENT...AND WANTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL...
BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM... HE CAN NOT DICTATE POLICY TO HIS PARTY...HE IS ONLY BARELY ACCEPTABLE TO MANY REPUBLICANS AS IS....
AND WORSE...ROMNEY HAS REALLY NOT ARTICULATED ANYTHING CONCERNING POLICY SO FAR... MOSTLY ROMNEY HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF OBAMA...WHILE ADMITTING THAT OBAMA GOT A "BAD HAND" FROM DUBYA...
HERE'S THE PROBLEM...ITS NOT A MATTER OF "BEING NICE" AND "WANTING TO SUCCEED..."....
ITS A MATTER OF : WHAT IS TO BE DONE...?
MANY AMERICAN FEEL THAT THE SITUATION IS HOPELESS... AND THAT THE ELITES HAVE ABANDON THEM FOR THE CHEAP LABOR ECONOMIES OF ASIA... AND INDEED ROMNEY HAS BEEN GUILTY OF OFF SHORING FOR PROFIT...
WHAT IF ROMNEY WAS ELECTED AND THE BOTTOM FELL OUT...AND AMERICANS NEEDED A WELFARE STATE FAST...? WOULD HE DO IT...?
WHAT IF THERE IS NO REAL US ECONOMY NOW...AND THE OFF SHORING HAS PERMANENTLY DAMAGED THE AMERICAN JOB MARKET...
WHAT WOULD ROMNEY DO FOR WORKERS...?
LIKELY HE WOULD DO THE SAME THINGS OBAMA WOULD DO...BUT IT WOULD BE A "ONLY NIXON COULD GO TO CHINA" MOMENT...
THE NOTION THAT ROMNEY AND ANN ARE GOING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE...DURING A DEPRESSION...AND WILL CUT UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, AND FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICARE...IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN...
THE ROMNEY'S WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SAY : "LET THEM EAT CAKE" IF THE DEPRESSIONS WORSES...AS IT LIKELY WILL.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT REPUBLICANS NEVER CUT SPENDING...THEY INCREASE IT... BUT THEY ALWAYS CUT TAXES...WHICH IS EASIER TO DO... AND THEY BALLOON THE DEFICITS...
OK...ROMNEY MAY BE "A NICE MAN"...FINE... BUT WE NEED BIG POLICY DECISIONS NOW...NOT LATER...ON HOW TO HANDLE THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THIS DEPRESSION...HOW TO FEED PEOPLE AND KEEP THEM OFF THE STREETS...AND WITHOUT IMPOVERISHING EVEN MORE PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS...
...EVEN WHILE THE ELITE RICH PAY RECORD LOW TAXES...AND HAVE RECORD HIGH OFF SHORE PROFITS!!
WILL AMERICANS SACRIFICE EVERYTHING THEY'VE WORKED FOR TO KEEP ROMNEY'S INCOME TAXES UNDER 13%...?
WHAT ABOUT THAT...?
AND SO FAR ROMNEY IS ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN ON REAL POLICY DECISIONS...THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE PASSED INTO LAW...
PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY AND VOUCHERIZING MEDICARE LOOK GOOD ...WHEN THERE IS A DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE WHO WILL VETO IT...
BUT REPUBLICANS WILL NOT HAVE OBAMA TO HIDE BEHIND IF ROMNEY WINS...!
