Yeah, the way to handle these situations is to always give the kewl response and throw up your hands. Boy, you're really teaching THEM a lesson. Did you know that Lucille Ball so hated the U.S. Government that she refused to vote? Made HER mark! Meanwhile long time staunch Republican Bruce Willis says he "Doesn't care" who wins this election. Ah, the strong opinions of weak minds.
I remember 2 years ago when there were people at school off arguing. . .I hate to call it politics, mainly they were just playing the 'I'm right/you're wrong game.' So the Obama supporter starts to menace people for daring to disagree with him about Obama. I'm over doing what I'm supposed to be doing, we were in a workshop. You know how some people can be when they're supposed to be getting something done. So I walked over and told him he was going to have to shut up about Obama and never say another word about him on campus, because in the State of California he has already committed a crime he can go to jail for, threatening or menacing someone at an educational facility, so one more word and I was calling 911. Ooops, the words were coming, directed at me now. I pulled out my phone while stepping toward him and he stopped midsentence.
The point being that while he would later tell ME oh he was sorry, yeah, he shouldn't have been threatening those people, he tells everyone else it was none of my business, etc. Ah, the strong opinions of weak minds. Funny how Obama supporters think they're entitled to their hate speech. Mostly that's what you have heard from Obama supporters during his presidency, hate speech. The crying stopped and the threatening and berating began. Another good reason I'll be so glad when he's gone, they take a cue from O Duce. Oh, those evil campaign speeches of his, getting soundbytes while I'm listening to news radio all the time.
Oh, let's get to the actual Romney quote and forget the spindoctoring the hate mongers want you to believe.
"[D]on’t forget," Romney addressed his debate audience, "you put $90 billion, like 50 years’ worth of breaks, into—into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1. I mean, I had a friend who said you don’t just pick the winners and losers, you pick the losers, all right? So this—this is not—this is not the kind of policy you want to have if you want to get America energy secure."
So Romney did NOT actually call Tesla a loser, hmmm. (So why is there hate speech that proclaims that he did?)
What does Elon Musk have to say:
. . . .Tesla is actually on the verge of becoming cash flow positive. . .However. . . .
Ooops. So Elon knows better than to disagree. Sounds like Elon. Wouldn't be on the up and up if he used hate speech to distract from the truth, now would he? Lets just say if the man were here, he'd likely ask you to NOT use him or Tesla as an excuse for hate speech.
Meanwhile, there is one simple truth: "This is NOT the kind of policy you want to have if you want to get America energy secure." No amount of hate speech is going to get you around that. Haven't heard him comment on that particular thought, but I'm sure Elon Musk would be glad to have me say he'd agree with it.
Romnesia. (I'd insert the eyeroll here, but I really don't like those thingees.) Dang, Obama and his insults. In my lifetime, BEFORE my lifetime reading history, I just don't recall such a petty president. Not even George H. W. Bush, who went to work deriding Buchanan for getting near as many votes as him in 1992 primaries, who smartassed at Ross Perot when Perot was leading the polls as an independent, who ultimately took to calling Clinton "Panderbear. . . ." Well, George H. W. Bush lost that election. Even Rush Limbaugh admitted that Bush had noone to blame but himself. Haven't heard him comment on this particular thought, but I'm sure Rush Limbaugh would be glad to have me say he'd agree that Obama has only himself to blame for fans that show their support only with hate speech.
If something doesn't work, you fix it. If you can't fix it, you get rid of it. There's the decision making process, in logic it's "If/then." To all those who just don't care how bad the Obama presidency is, going to top 6 trillion in deficit spending in 4 years while you look the other way, etc., I just remind you if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. At that point it doesn't work to try to find fault with Romney, he remains the backup quarterback, who, if you know your football, is the most popular guy in town when the starter is failing. If the Democratic committee (Who are NOT the party, though they obviously think they are) wanted the presidency the next four years, they should have replaced Obama as the nominee, as parties did with such incumbents as Polk, Hayes, Arthur, etc. Taft was defeated in the primaries but the Republican Committee (Thinking they were the party again) changed the rules to renominate him and the real winner ran as an independent to pick up more votes that Taft.
Oh, before I leave this this thread thread forever so that the illogical diatribles can really get over the top, let's harken back to one other memory of George H. W. Bush in the 1992 election. With 'Beverly Hills 90210' in maybe the top 50 in the ratings (Not sure FOX was reaching the whole country yet) they brought Shannen Doherty to the convention to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. I just don't remember if she was actually speaking to the convention or if she just had some opportunity for a soundbyte, (Tried to find the exact quote but Google didn't bring it up) she summed up her support for Bush with something like: 'Look, I admit Bush hasn't been a good president, but I don't see any reason that other guy would be any better. What's his name? From what I KNOW. . . ." I'm sure the Repubicans wished they had someone there to get a hand over her mouth. Ah, the strong opinions of weak minds. The 4 times a year comedy publication 'Quayle Quarterly' lost it's reason for being with the vice president replaced, so they became 'I Hate Brenda' in honor of Doherty's 'Beverly Hills 90210' character. . . .
