Okay, I Bought The Books, "A Song of Fire and Ice" **NO SPOILERS**
I got the 4 paperbacks off of Amazon for $20 and I bought the last book as hard cover. Books arrived on Sept. 7th, and I began reading them. I thought that it would take me 4 months to finish them.
One month later, I've finished the first two books, and I am half way through the 3rd book. I literally cannot put the books down. In fact, as soon as I finish this post, I will pick up the third book at page 517.
The books are incredible.
I'd Rather Win The Election Than A Debate
Heck, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum won debates in the Republican primaries. What good did it do them? Debates don't win elections. Ground forces and GOTV do. The fundamentals of the election are pretty much set in stone. Sure, Mitt made his base feel better last night, but that's really all that happened.
So for all of the hand wringers out there, do sit home and fret. Get off your duff and work harder. Donate some money to Grayson or Elizabeth Warren. Take some positive action. You'll feel better for it.
Do People Want Poltical Entertainment More than Political Substance?
Okay, Romney gave better theater last night than did Obama. I will grant you that, but the substance of what he's pushing is still the same. He wants to take away the social safety net, take away middle class deductions, take us into war in Iran, and give huge tax breaks to the wealthy. His presentation last night was more entertaining than Obama's, but the American people see right through it.
The Democrats have won 3 out of the last 5 presidential elections. Their only "losses" were 2000 (SCOTUS) and 2004 (9/11). Additionally, more traditional red states have gone blue than traditional blue states have gone red. The lesson here is that in a normal straight up national election, the American people prefer Democrats to Republicans.
Debate theater does not change the basic fundamentals of a presidential election.
Someone Please Cite a Presidential Election Where A Debate Turned The Election Completely Around?
Sure, a lot of folks here are not happy, but please point me to one presidential election where a debate completely changed the dynamics of the election. Show me one instance where a debate was a game changer.
Thank you.
In The First Presidential Debate in 1984, Walter Mondale Crushed Ronald Reagan
So. for the folks freaking out, calm down and relax.
Official List of Zingers That Obama Could Use on Romney
"Ladies and gentleman, do you want to vote for a man who needs a passport in order to visit his money"?
"My opponent is so out of touch with Americans. He thinks that American Idol is something that Indiana Jones is trying to find."
Dear Republicans, Don't Blame Mitt Romney. Blame Your Lousy Agenda
Look, it's not your messenger that's the problem. It's your message. So many of you want to lay blame on Mitt's poor communicaiton skills for your terrible showing in the polls, when the reality of the matter is that the people don't believe in your policies.
If the Republicans lose this election, that makes 4 out of the last 6 presidential elections going to the Democrats. Your only two wins were: 2000 in which the SCOTUS gave you that one and 2004 which the 9/11 hijackers gave you. The lesson here is that unless there are unusual circumstances surrounding the elections, your candidate loses.
Why? Because the American people, outside of the Fox demo, know that cutting taxes on the wealthy and gutting social safety net programs DO NOTHING FOR CREATING JOBS!!! Sane voters know this.
The rest of your agenda, homphobia, anti-reproduction rights for women, racism against African Americans and Latinos, anti-Muslim, anti-union, and anti-elderly, is filled with hate and is completely out of step with a diverse nation. Because you preach out right hate to so many different groups, you wind up with a tiny minority of unoffended people.
In the end, it doesn't matter who you nominate because your nominee has to carry all of your ugly bagagge to the nation, and no one has the communications skills to overcome that burden.
