Romney Panics: Hires Sununu

[Rohirrim]

Looks like Romney just keeps proving that he doesn't have what it takes to be president. Things are going bad so he hires a surrogate attack dog in Sununu to launch one of those patented, GOP gutter slops on the president in an effort to deflect heat off Romney. Who wants such a gutless man in the WH? http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/17/12791391-romney-surrogate-sununu-i-wish-this-president-would-learn-how-to-be-an-american

How's the economy? Unemployment?

How's the economy? Unemployment?

Good questions, but the Obama supporters have to deflect and worry whoever Romney is adding to his team. Obama even has to have a do-over with his wife on some kisscam at a basketball game since he can´t even do that right.

[ant1999e]

It's quite obvious that the Obama plan is distraction. Nevermind the economy, unemployment, fast and the furious, the debt, Iran, Syria, U.S. cities filing for bankruptcy. Nope, Romneys tax returns are more important.

Yep, Mr. Transparent President makes secret deals to get Obamacare passed and hides records, including Fast and Furious. Not it looks like getting a birth certificate in Hawaii is pretty easy, even if not really born there. Interesting.

That was pretty awkward. It's funny they had to ask the press to come back into the arena so the POTUS and FLOTUS could get a do over.

Romney hires Sununu to question the president's patriotism and you accuse the other side of "distraction?" :spit:

[cutthemdown]

He has to attack. Obama turned it personal.

[cutthemdown]

It's stupid, the IRS has Romney's tax returns. Obama's govt already has them all in a sense. If he had not paid his taxes, or there was some big problem they would have done something about it.

[Rohirrim]

Asking for tax returns is personal? Or requesting he show that he wasn't making money from outsourcing jobs when he claims to be a champion of "job creation?" No. Personal attacks are things like saying "I wish this president would learn how to be an American." That's the GOP tradition of gutter smears and personal attacks. Of course, he doesn't have the guts to make the statement himself, so he hires a thug.

Story of Romney's life: **** people over, make a fat profit, and make sure your fingerprints aren't on the evidence. Yeah. He'll make a great president. Sounds like Nixon already. :~ohyah!:

Why you got to be a liar? You whole thing is a lie. Reaching for the bottom of the barrel, huh. Typical. Keep trying.

Mittens claims that he will be better to run the economy based on his business experience.Obama calls him out on his outsourcing and that Is somehow personal?good god you people are idiots

[Garcia Bronco]

In a global economy, outsourcing is going to happen when the other guy will do it cheaper than you. So if one is upset about outsourcing, do it cheaper than the other guy.

Why not? You liberals think questioning Obama on any policy matter is racism, but that apparently shows intelligence to you.

Man. Your posts are astonishing.

[Rohirrim]

I guess this is Sununu auditioning for the VP slot. The GOP loves the personal politics of smear. What else do they have? Their entire program is basically "Give everything to the one percenters and hope the rest of you make it." How do you sell that other than by lying and smearing?

Is it me or is Romney a little thin-skinned? President Obama going after Romney's so-called strength as a jobs creator is personal?

I'm thinking personal is saying someone is not "AMERICAN, or wasn't brought up on "AMERICAN VALUES."

It's called brigging a big knife to a knife fight ..........

[Rohirrim]

It's called brigging a big knife to a knife fight ..........

Actually, it's more like "Getting your ass kicked fair and square so you turn to thug politics." Romney sure loses his cool fast. Like they say, he's just not used to anybody demanding answers from him to legitimate questions. I guess he figures he doesn't have to listen to the "little people." He's so used to just telling them what to do.

[spdirty]

Going to be funny watching Obama finally having to go up against a candidate the has a realistic shot that actually has the balls to get in the mud with him.

[Rigs11]

Yeah mittens sure is scary and tough,he's been on the defensive for a month now.

BS, if it were obama you would be slamming him for it. You expect the pres. to act unethicly and dig into individuals tax returns. they're may be laws against that. Willards tax records are fair game. it's even overwhelmingly bipartison,conservatives & dems are pressuring him.

The point is the law says you have to release 2 yrs right? My other point is Obama doesn't need to see them. Agents of the IRS have seen them. Are you saying the IRS let Romney break the law? This attack is all about an attack on someone who made money and had offshore bank accounts. It's a BS attack on Romney for being a success. He's made rich people a target, and Romney one of them. Same with the BAIN BS. That was Romneys job, to find companies, either get them making a profit, gut them, do whatever he needed to do to make them profitable. That is what your job is when you run a venture/private equity company.

It is fair game just like everything is when a campaign gets juicy. But the point is there is no big scandal here. Plus caring about it just weeks after Obama put the kibosh on fast and furious by claiming executive privilidge is funny to me.

I have yet to see a candidate in all the elections I've watched in my life not release their tax records. For most, it's a given and they do it before they're asked. Not even an issue. And yet, Romney was totally unprepared for the question? Now he's fluttering around like an insulted queen that any of the little people would dare to question him (especially that - ahem - black man in the WH)? Doesn't sound like presidential material to me. Maybe he thinks he's running for king, or something?

Meanwhile, the Right Wing nutjobs are all scattering around like scared chickens as if the tax question were some radical, socialist assault on their candidate. That's the problem with being an ideological extremist. Even mundane events can drive you into hysteria. :rofl:

Personally, I like John Sununu ... he's been berry-berry good for liberals and Democrats. And other living things.

First he botched the vetting of David Souter ten ways to Sunday ... pushed him on Bush Sr, and the rest is history. I'm not sure it's possible to overestimate how bad things might be right now if a Scalia-Alito guy held that seat those twenty years.

Then Johnny flew all over the country on Air Force planes for personal travel, biggest scandal of Bush Sr.'s term. Then remember it was Sununu who first publicly dismissed Ross Perot, kind of laughed at him, even imitated his voice. Perot became a candidate shortly thereafter, and thus we were blessed with eight years of Clintonian Peace and Prosperity.


Now for his final contribution to the well-being of Americans and other living things, I'm hoping John Sununu will force milquetoast scoutmaster Pawlenty down milquetoast scoutmaster Romney's throat. What a tedious milquetoast ticket that would be ... impotent, beatable.

Ironic insofar as the average right-wingnut never tires of heaping derision on those who display an inordinate "sense of entitlement."

Perhaps that rule only applies to poor people.

The only reason Romney has a "realistic shot" is because of the economy. And if he had a plan for fixing it, despite all of his flaws, he'd at least be a candidate worth considering. Reducing taxes for the wealthy and invading Iran, among other things he seems to support, aren't going to get it done. So he really isn't a candidate worth considering. And if you think Romney has "balls" then you haven't followed his political career very closely. Hard to be any more phony and malleable than Mitt Romney.

Are you saying the IRS let Romney break the law?

Nobody's suggesting this. But there's clearly a reason he's not releasing them. They're going to show his massive wealth, and they're going to show how the wealthy can legally game the system. They're going to show how Romney isn't remotely one of us. And that's never a good thing for a politician, particularly when so many people are struggling. And then top it off with Romney being a supporter of reduced taxation of the wealthy. Is this so hard to understand?

Since the American (and the world's) economic "system" has gone through so many changes since 1781, and has almost nothing in common with the agricultural economy the founders lived with, perhaps you could tell us which American "system" Sununu "understands" that Obama doesn't?

Or is this just more pathetic propaganda, low-class, smear tactic rhetoric from the Right?

It comes down to collectivism and individualism.

Krauthammer nails it once again here.

http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/obama-364542-government-infrastructure.html

"Moreover, the greatest threat to a robust, autonomous civil society is the ever-growing Leviathan state and those like Obama who see it as the ultimate expression of the collective."

"Obama compounds the fallacy by declaring the state to be the font of entrepreneurial success. How so? It created the infrastructure – roads, bridges, schools, Internet – off which we all thrive."

"Obama compounds the fallacy by declaring the state to be the font of entrepreneurial success. How so? It created the infrastructure – roads, bridges, schools, Internet – off which we all thrive."

Krauthammer is always an entertaining propagandist to read. He has excellent language skills. Of course, the Obama that he parodies here, and the belief system he attacks, doesn't exist. It's the creation of the Right: The Dark Obama of their nightmares, the straw man they use for their fear mongering and herd manipulation, the rabid statist and socialist bent on world dominion of the leviathan state. One simply needs to go to Mexico to try and start a business there to get an idea of exactly what Obama was referring to, which Krauthammer here so dishonestly mischaracterizes and twists to his own propagandist ends.

Don't forget, the corporate leviathans that Krauthammer and Fox shill for get a whole lot bigger piece of the government's largesse than any welfare mom in the country. You never see the Right Wing hired guns like Krauthammer going after all that cushy, corporate socialism. Do you? Hell no. That's their meal ticket. What is fascism? The corporate/state symbiosis. That's the meat and potatoes of the Right Wing.
