At CFIF, I ask why the Romney team keeps telegraphing its punches by talking in public about its coming strategy and tactics. In doing so, I acknowledge I am echoing a point made just a day ago by Jonah Goldberg.
I’d feel much better if all the Romneyites said about the coming debate is: We’ve been working hard, and we’ll let the results speak for themselves.

“'This is really about introducing him to the country,' a Romney adviser says."
How can this "extraordinary" team be so clueless? No one is hankering to be introduced to Mitt. What he needs to do is give people a reason to vote for him.
"Romney’s team hopes that [he] avoids making any stray remarks or extemporaneous jokes....he’ll be ready with scripted lines."
Oh joy.

That's the problem with an "Etch-a-Sketch" candidate. He doesn't have any core principles for anyone to get to know, so he has to keep reintroducing himself.

It was reported that Paul Ryan was doing debate prep with gay marriage advocate, Ted Olsen.
With Paul Ryan recently "coming out" in support of gays in the military, conservatives should be complaining about this sham job, because what they are telegraphing is nothing of interest to conservatives.

Shazam, and with the OTHER GUY down on his political kneecaps in front of the anti-CFA crowd, you really have a wipe choice, right......hey stupid?????????????

"My crook is better than your crook". "Romneycare is better than Obamacare". From "anybody but Romney" to "all the way with Romney" in one easy step.
You just can't seem to admit there are no conservatives in this race, can you? The contortions were bad enough with McCain but nothing like this. Just admit you support a northeastern liberal and be done with it. You'll be so happy with socialism-lite.
Oldefarte| 10.3.12 @ 1:23PM
Okay UNDER-AWARE, Romney is a MODERATE, not a LIBERAL! Now dumbars, underatand this fact: you/everybody have two [can you count to "2"?] choices, [1] the MODERATE and [2] the RADICALLY EXTREME, SOCIALISTIC DOMESTIC TERRORIST [the same GD one whose administration has facilitated the Muslim Brotherhood taking over the entire ME; which prevented the Keystone Pipeline from bringing Canadian oil to the US which would represent far cheaper gasoline than that provided by the ME/OPEC oil suppliers currently; which prevented domestic oil drilling in the Gulf post BP for the same reason; which refuses to enforce the Federal immigration laws of the US which ended the life of Brian Terry and most recently another border agent in Arizona; whose DOJ the NBPP to intimidate Philadelphia voters and forced the resignation of several career DOJ lawyers over same; whose DOJ has legally sued numerous states over their enactment of state immigration laws and numerous entities over its desire to prevent VOTER ID laws from enactment; whose political campaign moneys are obtained from suspicious ME oil sources that you buy gasoline from currently; which ignored intelligence warnings of impending Muslim terrorist activity in the region that resulted in the murder-deaths of four US diplomatic personnel in Benghazi, Lybia; etc]. Get the GD picture now DA, or are you so GD stupid that same is impossible???????????????

Re: those debates, I concur with Jeffrey Lord that no doubt, the fix is already baked into the cake!!!

I love how Conservative, Inc. starts making excuses before Team Neocon even goes down in flames. Bad enough to hear useless excuses after, but BEFORE?

A "self-inflated ego" of a fool is known as STUPIDITY [as defined by Forrest Gump]!!!!
aware| 10.3.12 @ 5:33AM
Not just aware but prepared. What about you? Used to try to warn but now can only say you deserve what's coming. You've worked hard for it and soon you'll get it, good and hard.
Oldefarte| 10.3.12 @ 1:41PM
Yeah you stupid POS, all of us [including you] will 'get it' if this domestic terrorist is re-elected. Get what you ask? 30% unemployment, awakening of domestic terrorist cells in this country turning same into the next Iraq/Afganistan, Sharia Law taking over your Constitution's laws/courts etc, 20% inflation rate resulting in your loaf of break costing $10, a Federal Reserve that politically caves to the wants of a domestic terrorist administration in order to minimally stabilize employment at 20% and keep it from increasing to 30%, etc. yeah, douche, you'll GET IT ALRIGHT, """"""stupidly"""""so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been here years before you started showing how shallow and uninformed you are.
Oldefarte| 10.3.12 @ 1:46PM
You're correct, in that I WAS WORKING 24-7 FOR THE THIRTY FIVE YEARS PRIOR, RAISING A FAMILY, FUNDING THE EDUCATION OF MY CHILDREN, PAYING TAXES/SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT ETC while you were "here years before you", blowing your ignorant and mentally incompetent political theories asininely, while living in your double wide/smoking dope/reading newsletters and yes GOING TO WORK AT 5AM [but not telling everyone that you STOPPED WORK AT 6AM, so you only worked 1 hour every day BUT YOU WORKED """""HARD"""""" for that one/1 hour everyday, right DA???????

On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for telegraphing your punch and STILL knocking the other guy out. The other Massachusetts Mauler, the Mighty Marciano, did it time and again.
Oldefarte| 10.2.12 @ 10:21PM
No I prefer the Babe Ruth approach......simply pointing to the area of the center field wall where the baseball will fly over, and thereafter knocking the excrement out of same and thereafter casually stolling around the copulating bases to the cheer of the crowd. The direct approach always works if based upon truth, since THE ONE'S has been and will forever be based upon lies, corruption, deceipt, bullexcrement and sleeze!!!!!!
Zeppo| 10.2.12 @ 10:46PM
"copulating bases"?!
Oldefarte| 10.3.12 @ 1:48PM
