Your advice to Romney for Wednesday’s debate with Obama?

What would YOUR advice be to Mitt Romney for this coming Wednesday evening’s domestic policy debate with Barack Hussein Obama? [2012 Presidential Debate Schedule is here.]

My immediate advice would be this:

  • Get under the skin of Mr Obama early;
  • Let people see the real B. Hussein Obama;
  • Kill him with FACTS;
  • Point out his shortfalls in domestic policy;
  • Again, hit him with facts: GM, bailouts, the budget deficit, the true cost of ObakaKare, the true cost of CapNTax, the failure of QE1, 2 and 3, Taxmageddon, not one vote for even one of his proposed budgets (Ryan’s got more votes!), Solyndra, complete lack of transparency, his arrogance, his detachment, his disinterest, his lies.

Everyone knows that Mr Obama’s ability to speak contemporaneously is seriously lacking absent a certain piece of technology.  Everyone also knows that in the bulk of the GOP debates Mr Romney came out consistently as the top two best speakers.  Mr Obama tends to fall apart when one does not display the proper formal obeisance.  He dissembles, he stutters, he “ums” and “uhs.”

Mr Obama is an Elitist who doesn’t deserve the title and whose dues have never been paid.

He is thin-skinned, he hasn’t had to work at an actual difficult job, in terms of physical labor or otherwise, a day of his life.  He never had to meet a payroll.  He never had to deal with difficult employees.  He never had to deal with governmental regulations.  He never had to deal with workers comp claims.  He never had to deal with people calling in sick or simply not showing up for work.  He never had to deal with a fryer or a refrigerator that broke down.  He never had to meet business taxes.  He never actually created one fucking job in his life.  Mitt Romney did that and infinitely more.  With humility and logic and planning.

Mr Obama fractures because he cannot take heat and he cannot take confrontation.

Mr Romney needs to provide that heat and that confrontation.

Immediately.  Up front.  In order to promptly set the tone throughout the rest of the debates.

Your thoughts?

Another business fleeing Fornicalia THIS WEEK: Campbell’s Soup

It comes as no surprise to those who read my blog that I live high in the Sierra Nevada mountains and work in Sacramento, Fornicalia.

There is a reason for this.

Sacramento, of course, being the capital of Fornicalia and, thusly, the proverbial Belly of the Beast.  The Demorat Belly of the Beast.

The Beast that is responsible for the continuing destruction of this once-beautiful and once-proud state.  Taken down and disassembled peg-by-peg and piece-by-piece at the hands of Leftists, Socialists, Demorats and Social Experimenters.

To the point, now, where the state finds itself in financial insolvency, disarray, and its counties and cities charged with heeding not only onerous federal mandates but those of the state itself, as well.

Resulting in the breaking and bankruptcy of various cities and counties within Fornicalia.

And, perhaps, time to reflect: why have I always termed my state, California, as “Fornicalia“?

It is because my state ends up fucking itself as well as its inhabitants, its neighbors, its friends, its enemies — damned near everyone into which it comes in contact.

And so it continues.

In Sacramento, I recently wrote about Comcast leaving Sacramento’s call centers behind for other states.  Comcast is fleeing Fornicalia.  And rightly so.

Now, this Thursday, another major Sacramento manufacturer — Campbell’s Soupannounced it is pulling up stakes and leaving the state wholesale, to the tune of 700 jobs.  No, no “relocations.”  No, no “re-training.”  Simply leaving and laying off workers.  It has been a presence in Sacramento since 1947.

In a sentence, Sacramento lost 1,000 jobs in one week.

Demorats control the state.  They control Sacramento.  They control the electorate.  They control the purse strings.  They control all the politics.  They control the bribes, the corruption, the naked causticity of that Belly of the Beast.  Republicans and Conservatives in Sacramento and my state are nothing more than an asterisk, an addendum, a bibliography.

That said, could one possibly conclude that Fornicalia Demorat Senate President proTem Darrell Steinberg would be potentially a tad bit “concerned” when two major businesses flee the state’s capital in one week?  Hello?  Even a wee bit concerned?

Uh, no.  Apparently not.  In fact, Steinberg decided to double down:

“Senator Darrell Steinberg says that despite the Campbell’s factory shutting down, the private sector in Sacramento is improving.”

Really?

 

Steinberg: Economic Climate Not To Blame For Companies Leaving Region

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Lawmakers reacted to the shut down of the Campbell’s plant Thursday.

At the capital, Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg says despite this latest shutdown of the Cambell’s factory, the private sector in Sacramento is actually improving.

“Facts are stubborn things, and the facts are the facts,” said Steinberg.

Within the past week, Sacramento has lost 1,000 jobs, but Steinberg says the state shouldn’t be taking the blame.

“It’s not California’s or Sacramento’s business climate, in fact, evidence is to the contrary,” said Steinberg.

Further:

But another fact remains; businesses are leaving California besides Comcast and Campbell’s. Waste Connections is leaving the area for Texas due to what their CEO called an unfriendly business climate in California, and Rancho Cordova based Vision Service Plan is threatening to follow.

But here’s the frosting on the cake:

“Come on in, talk to me, talk to the governor’s office, if there’s things we can do, things that can keep you in California and we’ll be glad to act,” said Steinberg.

Right.

It’s Business’s JOB to solicit Sacramento for workable situations.

I say NO.

It’s Sacramento’s job to beg for businesses to STAY!

So: THANKS Demorats.  You resolute losers.

“End of Watch” — for the nation

I attended a Sunday showing of the new David Ayer film, “END OF WATCH.”

At its conclusion, I couldn’t help but make some linkages and indulge in a tad bit of introspection.

First, “End of Watch” is notTraining Day.”

I would recommend EOW to everyone looking for a remarkably accurate portrayal of police work in a big city rife with gangs, violence, mixed races and endless challenges for law enforcement.  It does an excellent job of displaying the best and the worst of humanity.  It does an excellent job of illustrating how the current young mixed generation of cops deal with the concepts of evil, sacrifice, history, courage, violence, reality, insanity, family, support, camaraderie, cliques, teams, and a greater awareness and sense of self.  And, moreover, how they are the video, social media, explicit, unabashed, put-everything-out-there generation — with little concern for the concomitant consequences.

That said, I wanted to investigate the making of the film.  America Ferrera has an interesting insight in this article. As in: the neighborhoods were true and correct.  As were a bulk of the “actors” in the “background.”  I won’t event speculate as to the amounts of cash that had to flow for the movie company to work unimpeded in L.A.

And that made me think further:

Perhaps there is an actual coming “end of watch” for our nation as well.  Further: the reasons are so clearly illustrated in this film.

There are not only individual persons but gangs and neighborhoods and communities and areas and subdivisions and cities and states reliant but upon the continual flow of local, state and federal cash.  Welfare cash.  Free cash.  Cash undeserved but still proffered.

As in:

But: how did we get there?  And what will we do now?  And how can we rid ourselves of this denigrating and corrupting plague?

And how did these two disparate persons/races manage to not only survive but — until the de nou mas — thrive?

How did we get here?

How did we get our cops to battle death edicts called in from foreign countries?

How did we allow MS13 “Big Evil” to exist in our suburbs in the first place?

Why do we or should we pit our civilian cops against militaristic cults, groups, gangs, unions, units or brigades from foreign military groups?

In one car: two Glock 17 pistols, six magazines, and one shotgun with six shells?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a proverbial setup for failure.

Open borders.  Versus closed borders.

Right vs wrong.

How did we get here?

And a final question:

Would your dead grandparents recognize this current country?

Harry Reid then: More taxes released; Romney’s a felon! Harry Reid now: Romney is galling!

From CNN:

(CNN)– Sen. Harry Reid said nothing of his earlier claims that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes over a ten-year span in a Friday statement joining Democrats in responding to Romney’s release of tax-related documents on Friday.

The Nevada Democrat and Senate majority leader called Romney’s accounting “galling” and said the documentation “reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the American people – and then only to ‘conform’ with his public statements.”

Though Romney:

  • In 2011, the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in taxes on $13,696,951 in mostly investment income.
  • The Romneys’ effective tax rate for 2011 was 14.1%.
  • The Romneys donated $4,020,772 to charity in 2011, amounting to nearly 30% of their income.
  • The Romneys claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of those charitable contributions.
  • The Romneys’ generous charitable donations in 2011 would have significantly reduced their tax obligation for the year. The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor’s statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13% in income taxes in each of the last 10 years.

So according to Reid and the Demorats, Leftists, Religion Left and DEM/MSM, Romney is a tax cheat and a manipulator because he didn’t release enough documents or because he gave them what they wanted.  Romeny can’t win either way.

Say, this wouldn’t be any kind of a purposeful election-time ploy, would it — ?

BZ

P.S.
Harry Reid, where are your tax records?  What’s been your source of millionaire’s income?

 

“Romney’s Gaffe” — no real controversy, just the truth:

First, the video from what was thought to be a private fundraiser in May of this year:

The DEM/MSM is taking this video from Mother Jones viral today, and every organ that can write, broadcast, bleat or whine is opining on its content.  The DEM/MSM is saying that Mitt Romney kissed half of the electorate goodbye in the video.

Sadly, in my estimation and that of others, what Romney said tends to be the truth.  The additional truth is that people don’t care to have their greed placed quite so bluntly on Front Street.  Makes them uncomfortable, you see.

The truth is — again — that too many Americans on numerous levels simply want:

The DEM/MSM is going to ensure that Romney’s video is in the forefront 24/7 for at least the next week, minimum.

That said, since any campaign involves a war of words, historically, everything is up for grabs.  If Romney’s words bear examination, I submit that Mr Obama’s words are also up for critical examination — in terms of “I actually believe in redistribution.”

This, of course, isn’t a fabrication on my part.  I’m not nearly so technologically facile as those who know me realize.

And allow me to state the obvious with regard to “earned success,” which is to what Mr Romney refers.  From Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute:

People take pride in success, in doing things for themselves.  This is the foundational point of Conservatism.  In three words: Free Cheese Corrupts.

Question: is this Romney’s proverbial “death knell”?

“Socialism always promises happiness, and delivers misery.”
– Arthur Brooks

I could not possibly have said it better.
