truth on hold Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) "Labor Day is weeks away, but the battle of the summer is over— the unreleased tax returns, easily foreseen Bain attacks, Olympic stumbles, inept tax plan, and other calamities that sank Romney." http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/08/mitt-romney-lost-the-summer-tax-returns-overseas-gaffes-more.html Ive posted this before, the Romney team seemed totally unprepared for the expected attacks on Bain and his taxes. Now when people hear "Bain" the word association is "job killer", and "Romney" immediately conjures up "hiding tax disclosure". His comments on the Palestineans which may have appeased the pro-Israel campaign donors, have made him look like a unbalanced, insensitive freak to others. The primary candidates Gingrich and Santorum who said similar things BOTH LOST, and Romney should have realized part of his appeal was to moderates who didn't see him as religious-basher. His team is looking incompetent and apathetic, and his campaign's dying a slow and painful death before our eyes. Hard to see what turns this ship around.

Doc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The overseas stuff wasn't even news. And the attacks on Bain didn't do much for the poll numbers. Not to mention "you didn't build that" will go down as a doozy in campaign history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your six pack includes 5 cans that are empty and one full of Coors Lite, which we know is just human filtered beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfatbillsfan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If Romney lost the summer I find it sad that Obama isn't crushing him in the polls right now. The election is far from over. In the end, the economy on election day is what is going to win or loose this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that there is backlash, Barry claims he knows nothing about the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rep from the super PAC was on Anderson cooper tonight pointing out that there was not a bit of implication that mitt killed her. It was just a simple commercial that showed he backs out of promises and health care is important. But he did not cause her death even a little. How could you even think that!?!? It was mind numbing.

If this qualifies as a lost summer, what have the last few weeks counted as for you? It's been quite the show your putting on.

/dev/null Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If this is Romney's lost summer, then the last 3+ years have been Obama's lost term. Other than being not George W Bush and not a rich white guy named Mitt, what has he done to merit re-election? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came as close as you could to calling him an idiot without actually saying it. I don't watch a ton of AC but generally in agreement that he primarily, over his own politics, dislikes stupidity and dishonesty on the air.

truth on hold Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Children children children (of the corn?) wake up. Stop reacting with emotional bias and see things for what they really are. Camp Romney had the primary locked up months ago and instead of turning their attention to countering the telegraphed Obama camp attacks did nothing but extend deeper into religious slander to appease pro Israel donors. After seeing first hand how Gingrich lost the lead after doing the same, and worse going into a general election where that kind of thing will be even less well received!!! If you recall I started out marginally pro Romney for leadership on the economy where BO is a dud. Well Romney nows gotten stuck with negative associations that will be hard to shake and the best political orator of our time BO hasn't even spoken yet. WAKE UP ROMNEY CAMP IS LETTING YOU DOWN. Stop hatin on the people pointing out the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
