Say What?!?!? Romney Adviser: It's 'Politically Unwise' To Campaign In Specifics

So far, putting Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's ticket hasn't led to any detailed plans for his top issue, the budget. That won't change, according to a Romney aide who spoke to Politico.

"The nature of running a presidential campaign is that you're communicating direction to the American people," a Romney adviser, who is not named, told Politico. "Campaigns that are about specifics, particularly in today's environment, get tripped up."

The issue of the budget, particularly taxes and cuts to entitlement programs, is a pivotal one for the election and is one both campaigns are trying to exploit. For the Romney campaign, that has meant accusing President Barack Obama of decimating Medicare by taking funds from it for his health care law, even though that is a false claim. Ryan's own budget would transform the program to make it almost unrecognizable.

...

"What you're going to see is a campaign that has clear direction, but not a Simpson-Bowles or Ryan-budget level of detail," the adviser told Politico. "It's not only politically unwise to do that, but it's not how the voters engage in a presidential campaign."

Ryan said earlier this week that he plans to discuss tax plans, but not until after the election.

The GOP wants to "save" the economy, they want to "save" Medicare, they want to "save" the soul of America.

The only thing they'll "save" are the details from you and me.

Maybe Mitt doesn't know what specifics are.
"Mr. Romney- can you use the word 'specific' in a sentence?"
"Sure I can: My new car elevator overlooks the specific ocean."

Serf city- here we come.....

The Romney-Ryan Plan, in the words of Forrest Gump, "is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you're gonna get ... "

And, let me add, that chocolate may look appealing on the outside but take a bite and you find that it's full of nuts!!

So what will Mitt and Ryan talk about during the debates?

Mitt might talk about how he disposed of aborted fetuses,

and Ryan might talk about how he re-named a post office.

Other than that?

I don't know.
