Thread Name: BS: Mitt Romney is a fine man
Subject: RE: BS: Mitt Romney is a fine man
Lots of people give a rat's ass. They are called undecided voters.

Pdq the jobs and the economy are exactly this week's talking points.

The talking points have been an effort to get the fine man to credibly say what he will do better.

Romney says he will do better but he won't say what he would do. President Obama has been saying for three years, if the GOP has better ideas, lets hear them. Lets do them.

The GOP keeps coming back with rehashed W. tax breaks and deregulation, that aside from the housing/credit bubble, did nothing to create jobs.

Romney says, I know how to create jobs. He claims he created 100,000 jobs at Bain. But he counts all of jobs that were created by companies he gave seed money to, (Staples for example) most of which were created not only since he left "managerial responsibility" at Bain but also since Bain sold their interest in the company.

But reasonable people look at those claims and say what else has Bain done? Oh yeah outsourced and bragged about it. But Romney says, don't blame me. I wasn't there when that happened.

Show just what is Romney's track record for job creation? His governorship? 47th in the US in a state with many economic advantages. That can't be it? So what is he going to do to create jobs? Oh yeah, double down on Bush policies that depended on a credit bubble. But he can't create a credit bubble because interest rates are near zero.

Obama, has been very very smart as a President. If there were two or more choices and one was invented by Republicans, He chose the GOP approach. He has implemented all the workable GOP economic ideas, including Romney's health care plan. He has even sent more troops to a failing George W Bush, war effort. The GOP has nothing to campaign on except the economy that their own suggestions are a major part of and insane suggestions that "The President of the USA is a secret Muslim communist infiltrator."

That works with the GOP Base. It won't work on the middle.
