I’ll let others speak for me here….
Peggy Noonan: Wall Street Journal.
“It’s time to admit the Romney campaign is an incompetent one. It’s not big, it’s not brave, it’s not thoughtfully tackling great issues. It’s always been too small for the moment. All the activists, party supporters and big donors should be pushing for change. People want to focus on who at the top is least constructive and most responsible. Fine, but Mitt Romney is no puppet: He chooses who to listen to. An intervention is in order. ‘Mitt, this isn’t working.’”
“Romney, who criticizes President Obama for dividing the nation, divided the nation into two groups: the makers and the moochers… The Republican Party, and apparently Mitt Romney, too, has shifted over toward a much more hyperindividualistic and atomistic social view – from the Reaganesque language of common citizenship to the libertarian language of makers and takers… He’s running a depressingly inept presidential campaign.”
Billy Kristol: The Daily Standard
“It’s worth recalling that a good chunk of the 47 percent who don’t pay income taxes are Romney supporters—especially of course seniors… as well as many lower-income Americans (including men and women serving in the military) who think conservative policies are better for the country even if they’re not getting a tax cut under the Romney plan. So Romney seems to have contempt not just for the Democrats who oppose him, but for tens of millions who intend to vote for him.”
“Those in the 47 percent who aren’t seniors or veterans are mostly poor workers whose payroll taxes, at 15.3 percent (since the employer side of the tax effectively comes out of workers’ wages), leaves them taxed at a higher rate than was Mitt Romney on his $20 million income last year… To be so insultingly tone deaf and self-destructive even while being dead wrong and hypocritical on the substance is a perverse sort of accomplishment. It’s not easy to be this bad.”
“There is no sin greater in a presidential race than telling the truth. Romney is being excoriated for accurately describing the situation in America today. Painting with broad strokes will do many individuals an injustice. But the fact remains that our electorate is basically bifurcated into those who pay taxes and those who receive benefits… Why do so many people feel Romney will be better at improving the economy and yet still plan to vote for Obama? The answer is that they care more about preserving their entitlements than about improving the economy.”
In the voice of the Republican Party, there is not one mention of Mitt Romney in any article on their front page, going all the way back to Sept. 7th. Like they are embarrassed about him or something….
If everyone hates him, why would anyone in their right mind want to vote for him?

You’ve got to love it. when republicans speak what’s on their minds…or the minds of their 1% backers.
That’s why I so look forward to republicans speaking ‘off the cuff,’ or ‘off their rockers.’ Soon or later a republican is going to mention, what he really thinks, what’s rattling around up there, what motivates him, what foots his bills, what gets him going in the morning, what angers him, who he hates, what he plans to do about it and what he wants others to think, act, move, fight for.
It might be Santorum, saying the earth is man’s to destroy.
Or Paul Ryan,

Or Akin stating, what he ‘understands’ from doctors, “..the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Legitimate rape that is.
Or Rush saying of a law student wanting to testify in Congress, “…. It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex…..”
Or a presidential candidate saying, “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
Some even fabricate news out of whole cloth

The voting public has to put the pieces of republican fabric together, to cover the real story.

Something… could be the divided ‘republican party’ now consists of two separate parties. 1) The host republican party, 2) The invading Tea Party.
1) Many ‘Castle’ republicans would surely question the flip flop lies of Rmoney. Believe lies?
2) And even though Rmoney ‘presently’ parrots the extreme Tea Party line, many of the Tea Party never liked him, hate his previous policies and question the ‘honesty’ of his recent accommodating lies. (Honesty of lies?)
Which lies to believe?
What’s important to those at DelawarePolitics is keeping as many of the “R” votes as possible instead of throwing wood on the fire by arguing among themselves about what’s to be believed, if anything.
The truth cuts deep and the lies are an invading fungus. The Republican Party and the Tea Party, both want to hold onto the potential “R” vote of one politically divided basket -so they figure it’s best not to publicly examine the spoiled fruit.

Alright, you shamed us into making a post on Romney..I hope you are happy. We don’t hate him. We know that he will not carry Delaware and so does his campaign which has written us off. Our space goes to people campaigning here. unless something interests us
