Romney responds to Biden’s chains remark

Romney finally comes out swinging against Joe Biden’s race-baiting comment.

Mitt Romney used a tough new campaign speech to personally blast the Obama campaign on Tuesday, saying comments earlier in the day from Vice President Biden are “what an angry and desperate Presidency looks like.”
“Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Romney said while campaigning in Ohio.
Romney was responding to Biden’s suggestion that the GOP ticket’s economic policies would “put y’all back in chains.”
[….]
Romney repeatedly and harshly criticized Team Obama for the remarks.
“His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the Presidency. Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower,” Romney said.
“This is an election in which we should be talking about the path ahead, but you don’t hear any answers coming from President Obama’s re-election campaign. That’s because he’s intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy. And so his campaign has resorted to diversions and distractions, to demagoguing and defaming others. This is an old game in politics; what’s different this year is that the president is taking things to a new low.”
Romney’s remarks echo those of his campaign spokeswoman, who earlier in the day called Biden’s remarks a “new low.”
The counter-punches mark a much tougher tone from Team Romney, who have criticized the Obama campaign before, particularly over a controversial ad by pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action that links Romney to a woman’s death, but never in such blunt or harsh terms.

This might just point to the possibility that team Romney knows, that if they are going to win this election, they are going to have to fight and fight hard. As John McCain found out in 2008, that “nice guy politics” just does not work anymore. If Republicans are going to defeat Obama, they are going to have to fight hard and keep throwing Obama’s record back in the face of the Democrats. It is a sad thing to behold, that politics has gotten that bad; believe me I know. But, this is 2012 and not the 1940’s anymore. If Conservatives and Republicans are going to win, they are going to have to fight and fight hard.

Also too, Republicans are going to have to realize that Democrats are not above lies, slander and racial incitement. Democrats did this in 2008, with John McCain and Sarah Palin, and they are going to do it with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan too. It is now a part of normal day politics, and it is nothing really new either. However, the racial tone in this election is at a all-time peak. Both sides are doing it too. Which is why I do not link to many of the so-called “Conservative” blogs much. The democrats have no one to blame, but themselves. Instead of choosing a candidate with experience, they chose identity politics; because they knew that they would lose otherwise. So, this is all their making and not the Republicans fault.

The very fact that the Democrats refuse to apologize for the “Chains” comment is living proof that the Neo-Left is controlling the Democratic Party. How so? Because Neo-leftists believe that race is a means to an end. The end, to them, is the bringing down of the capitalist system and installing a full-blown, top down, socialist system; like the one in the soviet union. Which, by the way, failed. So, to them, nothing is off the table: Lies, Ethnic warfare, class warfare — all of that — is what Democrats believe will win them the election.

Now if Obama record was better and the economy did recover, all of this stuff would actually work. However, none of that happened. So, much of this is for naught. The American people, well, the majority of them anyhow — are a bit smarter than what the Obama campaign gives them credit for and they see this as a desperate act to divert attention away from Obama’s record. It is, again, overreach by the Democrats and it will cost them dearly in the election in November.

Hmmmm Was Joe Biden channeling:

This guy?:

Quote:

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing.

It is to wonder…

and…:

I know, I, as a Conservative, am supposed to be loving this sort of stuff. But, I just….don’t. We might be winning the message war. But, are we winning the hearts and minds of the people? You know, like the independents? It is to wonder.

Whatever happened to the days, when people would debate politics and not have it devolve into shouting matches?

It’s just depressing to me. I know, I can holler with the best of them. But, this blog is not CNN.

Special Comment: Farewell Twitter

Last night after one fight too many, after having my account suspended and then restored for the fatal offense of speaking my mind; I have done something that I really hated to have to do.

I left Twitter for good.

I have deactivated my twitter account, and I have left the platform for personal use for good. I did create a new account for the sole purpose of dissemination of the contents of this blog. However, I will not be actively using the platform any longer. I will not be following anyone outside of news agencies and well-known public figures related to the subject of politics. However, I do not plan to be a regular user of the service any longer.

The reason for this decision is this; twitter has become an open running sewer of sorts. Twitter also has become a place where freedom of speech is chilled, and is even frowned upon. The reason that I came to this horrifying conclusion is this: Last night, I happen to come upon a debate by the likes of a so-called libertarian, who is in all honesty, a Liberal turned Neoconservative — but, then again, I repeat myself — and a sworn liberal of the utter contemptible sort.

Now, the liberal of the contemptible sort, none other than a one Oliver Willis, who happens to be of African origins and is of the black race, is an utter piece of human excrement. I could sit here and tell you of the utter lies, half-truths, and awful things that this awful man wrote about John McCain and Sarah Palin during the 2008 election, but this piece would go on for over one hundred pages. Now, I am not talking about whether John McCain or even Sarah Palin were even qualified for the job of President or not. This went well beyond that and was in league of that deranged homosexual Andrew Sullivan.

What happened was this: Oliver Willis and a one, “Jazz Shaw” (he will not use his real name, as he is too much of a coward, unlike Me.) were debating whether Mitt Romney should release his tax returns or not. Mr. Shaw (not his real name) was saying that The Democratic National Committee’s chairperson should also release her tax returns. Somewhere in the middle of this argument on twitter, I stuck my nose in and made a remark about this Oliver Willis that would be considered politically incorrect. I did this, because again, I find this man to be utterly contemptible. The comment involved President Barack Obama, the male sex organ and Oliver Willis’s mouth. Yes, I went there and I have no problems admitting it.

The next thing I know, I am being referring to by “Jazz Shaw” as a “racist dickbag” (his words, not mine.) and I was called an “a-hole” by this one Oliver Willis. I responded to Oliver Willis in kind, a called him a word, that is considered to be politically incorrect by liberal and most neoconservative standards. The next thing I know, instead of these so-called Conservatives rallying to my side and defending me; they start actually defending this bastard Oliver Willis and working on getting my twitter account suspended. They succeeded in the short term, but I was able to reactivate the account rather quickly.

This is when it hit me; twitter is just not a good place for someone like me, not anymore. When twitter first started out, back in 2007, it was a great place to hang out and enjoy one’s self. Since that time, Twitter has been become overrun with neoconservatives, awful liberals, speech Nazi’s and a cesspool of utter trolls, ready to pounce on the first unsuspecting person. Simply put — twitter is not a place I would honestly recommend to anyone anymore.

Therefore, I deactivated my account, and uninstalled all of the twitter apps on my iPod touch and will not be using that idiotic platform any longer, except as noted above. I do wish I could say that I honestly could recommend twitter to anyone, but after last night; I would never ever recommend anyone to that awful place — nor will I ever.

To end this piece, I have a message for Twitter Inc.:

First, as a good friend of mine, James O’Guinn would say, “It has been real, it has been fun — but it has not been really fun.” Secondly, please, change your banning feature. Suspending an account in this manner is amount to speech Nazism. It is prone to abuse and has been abused by many in the past. Because of this, I am stopping using your service for personal use.

I know my comments were not well received by many, but twitter users should have the right to block what they do not wish to view. However, twitter users should not be permitted to disable my right to freedom of speech. This is a libertarian concept, but as I know; the founders and employees of twitter are not libertarians, they are socialists and Marxists, who believe that freedom of speech is subjective and should be controlled. Not that I feel entitled to express my views on a private service, but this sort of squashing of free speech is quite unnerving.

Because of this — I have disabled my account and other for the reasons of blog promotion — I have left twitter.

Guest Voice: Phyllis Schlafly on The Bloody “Fast and Furious”

Audio:

[podcast]http://www.eagleforum.org/radio/3min/audio/2012/aug12/08-10-12.mp3[/podcast]

Synopsis:

Of all the scandals of the Obama Administration, the one called “Fast and Furious” could be the worst, but it has been almost completely ignored by the Mainstream Media. You would think that any scandal that involved a murder would be a great subject for TV coverage, but somehow the media friendly to President Obama are reluctant to report it and provide us with the gory details. “Fast and Furious” is the name of a plan developed by our government to order U.S. gun shops to sell guns to “straw” buyers who were funneling guns to Mexican drug gangs. It’s unclear what the purpose of this stupid idea was; we’re led to believe our government was somehow going to track the guns in a way that would help us find out who and where the drug lords are. But the U.S. government didn’t track the guns; they just let U.S. guns be sold to the vicious Mexican drug gangs. So the Mexicans used one of those guns to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, and also to murder about 200 Mexican citizens.
Congressman Darrell Issa has been conducting an investigation to find out the facts and who was responsible for this stupid and fatal project. We would like to know if this was just a hare-brained scheme, or if it was really planned to produce arguments for gun control for American citizens. But the Obama Administration has been very uncooperative and secretive about the investigation, and President Obama invoked executive privilege to avoid giving the congressional committee the documents and emails that would reveal who was responsible for this travesty. So far, all Obama Administration officials are pretending they didn’t know anything about it and are not responsible. If you want to know more about this shocking scandal and its coverup, I suggest that you get a book called “Fast and Furious” by Katie Pavlich, a reporter for Townhall Magazine.

Video: Does Mitt Romney’s Faith Matter?

(via CBN)

For the record, this is what Mitt Romney believes:

[podcast format=”video”]http://saintsalive.com//images/stories/videos/featured.flv[/podcast]

This is to say nothing of what Paul Ryan believes.

Race-baiting towards Paul Ryan already starting

Here I go quoting myself, again:

All in all, I believe it was a much smarter move, than the one John McCain made in 2008. I just hope that Romney can battle against the identity politics aspect of this campaign, which will undoubtedly start at some point — better than John McCain and Hillary Clinton did in 2008. If they cannot, we will be in for 8 more years of the Marxist idiocy of Obama Administration. Hopefully, Romney has his a-game on, when comes to this; because we just cannot afford another term of Obama — not without some serious problems in our future.

Without delay the race card game starts.

Oh yeah, the Democrats are now scared to death and they are firing up the smear machine. This is going to get real interesting, really quick

UPDATED: My feelings about Mitt Romney’s VP pick Paul Ryan

Is pretty much summed up here:

If there isn’t much to Ryan’s foreign policy, what we do know of his views isn’t encouraging. His Alexander Hamilton Society speech was standard neoconservatism complete with heavy reliance on Krauthammer’s “decline is a choice” argument, and he remains opposed to any reductions in military spending. He is a product of the Bush era, and in foreign policy views he seems to have learned nothing from Bush era mistakes.
via The Triumph of Ryanmania | The American Conservative.

That pretty much sums it up for me. Many on the left, including the President, are having a bit of a freak out over the choice. Not to worry Democrats, Mitt Romney will not carry out any parts of Ryan’s budget plan that would hurt his chances of getting reelected. Mitt Romney is not a fool, he is a moderate; by Conservative standards and will not do anything to hurt his political career.

Seeing that Ryan is Roman Catholic, that will cause the evangelical base to support Romney. Although there will be holdouts, like me. 😀 Some see this as a brilliant move and some see it as an idiotic move. I see this as strictly a political move and nothing else.

The real question is, does Romney stand a chance to win? Personally, I think he does; because Romney has money, lots of it and Romney also has a good deal of wealthy people who are supporting him too. Which means that Romney is outspending Obama by a good margin. Which means that Romney can outbox Obama with the ads. All Romney has to do is highlight Obama’s failed record on jobs and the economy. Romney needs to greatly highlight that fact that we are 15 trillion in debt and that Obama continues to spend money that we simply do not have, and highlight that fact that Obama has been utterly contemptible in his attitude towards small to medium businesses, not to mention big businesses!

All in all, I believe it was a much smarter move, than the one John McCain made in 2008. I just hope that Romney can battle against the identity politics aspect of this campaign, which will undoubtedly start at some point — better than John McCain and Hillary Clinton did in 2008. If they cannot, we will be in for 8 more years of the Marxist idiocy of Obama Administration. Hopefully, Romney has his a-game on, when comes to this; because we just cannot afford another term of Obama — not without some serious problems in our future. UPDATE: It begins, Ryan is already being called a racist.
