The Romney Campaign is Imploding

[BluegrassCat]

Insulting the service of civilian and military personnel in harm's way - Check.

Insulting half the country as irresponsible victims, most of whom do work and do pay taxes - Check.

Attempting to defend the indefensible, Romney takes the ridiculous position that he stands behind his statements on the video and also that the video is debunked - Check.

Even Peggy Noonan knows this campaign is circling the drain: "He should peer deep into the abyss. He should look straight into the heart of darkness where lies a Republican defeat in a year the Republican presidential candidate almost couldn’t lose." http://blogs.wsj.com/peggynoonan/201...-intervention/

And now other high-ranking Repubs are pre-emptively pointing fingers about who's to blame for this fuckup. No one wants the stink of failure sticking to them. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81280.html

And a CBS poll out today finds Obama leading by 6 points in Wisconsin and by 5 points in Virginia among likely voters. Remember, likely voters are the most favorable group for Romney (all adults < registered voters < likely voters), so for Obama to be leading among them is notable. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-...in;contentBody

No wonder OMK is having an emotional breakdown right before our eyes.

This is a real knee slapper. You fuckers got your heads so far up your asses you can see your tonsils. Here we have the worst American hate on display in the mid east in a generation. Terrorists scaling the walls. Obama's much touted mid east policy up in flames. A now confirmed terrorist attack on our consulate in Libya leaving 4 Americans dead, despite Susan Rice's and the Administrations lies. No Marines guarding our embassies on 9/11. A National Security failure. The IG's final report in on Fast and Furious ( and 14 will either resign or be will disciplined) Butch Napolitano's Homeland Security shop being run like a lez brothel (another resignation there) . The Egyptian president spitting in our eye and encouraging more demonstrations despite Barry's soft sell about the Muslim Brotherhood. Too busy to meet with Isreal's Prime Minister. Iran moving into Iraq. Another credit downgrade, Another Trillion in debt. Egyptian tanks moving in the Gaza. ,Horrible unemployment numbers. Dismal small bussiness hiring numbers. Barry being embarrassed into making a China speech by Romney. More money printing by the fed to prop up a miserable economy, Barry telling Alfred E. Letterman he doesn't know how much the deficit is, Gas topping 4 dollars a gallon, Barry not attenting a security briefing in months...............and after the funerals and a quick 5 minute speech...it's off to Vegas for a party...then back to NY for a talk show and gala event ...and this is all just this week. And you're talking about the Romney campaign ??????? That's just too rich ....Can you see why you're undeserving of even a small amount of respect? And despite how bad Romney's campaign is according to you all...he's in a virtual tie. Do you assholes ever read what you write?

Does anybody know if it's actually possible to hear the sound of somebody clutching at straws?

A generation? Seriously, dude? George & Dick's great adventure in the middle east stirred up so much hatred that it cost 4,000 American lives, and only ended 1 year ago. You need some perspective, some fresh air. Your hatred of Obama has caused you to become unhinged. Stop reading whatever it is that you're reading. It's not doing you any good.

I agree with you Odelay, but you missed the key point. The Iraq invasion cost over 100,000+ (?) Iraqi lives. Yet we simply ignore this, and pretend that it has no consequences. Saddams attack on the Kurds was around 1988-89 (?), over twenty years ago. We have all had family members who have passed on and missed, yet we pretend that Iraqi people dont miss their own. Saddam was holding a fragile, coalition of ethnic groups who have been fueding for over 1,000 years. Just the fact that the US coming in, temporarily unleased the security in this situation is important to someone who lost a loved one. I am assuming this, because I see all humanity as essentially the same. Even Obama can't publicaly acknowledge this situation, because is he is, then accused of sympathizising, with Islam.

But to ease the situation, that is to reverse some of the effects of invading someone's country the current administration adapted strategies to make the best of the situation. An example of this, is monies were given to rebuild a Mosque destroyed by other Iraqi ethnic groups. The administration issued a statement, saying they supported those who were attacked, and condemned the mosque's bombers. But small minded people who dont understand, that Muslims are human beings too, only see that this is somehow supporting potential enemies of the US; not the strategy that it is trying to win friends among potential enemies. And it also ignores that the US, had a causal part in unleashing the forces that made the attack possible. Colin Powell, understood the larger context of this situation, when he obejcted to the US invasion of Iraq. I believe he said something like, "if you break it, (meaning take it over), you own it.

Still Odelay, I agree with what you are saying to OMK. I'm just elaborating on it. But in addition to this, I want to give thanks to OMK for speaking in behalf of a real segment of the US/ world population. He's the "Washington Generals" of HA. For those of you that may not know, they are the team that the Harlem Globetrotters, plays every game, to show off their skills. So I'm now passing the ball.

Hmmm... and whose legacy was the ongoing trouble in the Middle east. A certain George Bush who led the illegal invasion of iraq springs to mind.

And whose legacy is the current financial crisis. A certain eight years of GOP residency?

A straw man now grasps at straws with his sad little supporters here cheerleading him to electoral catastrophe.

Do you really like the man your party nominated? I would say he is certainly offering us great entertainment. He has a future in showbiz.
