Regular readers will know of my love, mixed with fear, for strong, bossy blondes with attitude, hence my grovelling, besotted adoration of My Darling Ann (Coulter). And yet . . . and yet . . . and for God's sake don't tell her, I am beginning to 'hae me doots' - DM will doubtless correct my Scottish accent. She assured me - oh yes, she only writes those articles for me - that Mitt Romney was 'The Man' because, solid and boring though he was, he would not frighten either the horses or the independent voters, and they are the key to every election. Well, it's true, he hasn't frightened the independents, or anyone else come to that!
So now I have been forced to get in touch with my masculine side and I turn - natch! - to 'The Kraut' over at the National Review. He suggests there are two line of attack for Romney to take - frankly, I am still waiting for any line of attack from him, although I must confess that it is difficult to judge from 'over here'. Anyway, 'The Kraut' reckons you can confront Obama either on his record or his ideology. With courage above and beyond the call of duty I challenge 'The Kraut' over his 'either/or' approach. Why not both? There's still three months and a convention to go. The problem, I suggest meekly, is that Romney does not have an ideology. That is why I hope, but not with much confidence, that he picks Paul Ryan as his 'Veep'. Now that would put a shed-load of ideology into the campaign and give the Right something and someone to be enthused by, leaving Romney to continue his impersonation of a walking, talking, tailor's dummy!
Obama is the worst president since Woodrow Wilson. He's a liar and a charlatan pushing a political ideology which will lead inexorably to the economic, military and democratic death of the United States. His record in office is abysmal and Romney should be leading by at least 10 points - but he ain't!
"Shomething wrong, shurely!"
ADDITIONAL: Some very sound sense from John Podhoretz at Commentary.
And just to satisfy your curiosity:
Ann Coulter Charles Krauthammer
Well, which one would you choose?
Can I take a pass on this question?

"Well, which one would you choose?"
For what purpose?

Your eyeballs still troubling you, 'Envelope'?
As ever, DM, you go to the very heart, or something, of the problem!

Och Aye Ra NOOOO David the Yank Republicans are scraping the barrel for a new leader. But why worry they have Obama. I mean David he is not upsetting the ruling elite surely. But that Ann Coulter I would give her one inspite of what looks like tuck jobs. But who cares David just keep the women happy and the housework will get done.

"Tuck jobs?" - looks like copious methamphetamine.

David
Your Darling Ann on eye candy points.
--------------
I think the election is locked at least 45% (maybe 48%) each who are likely to vote to vote and have firmly made up their mind. The others drive the political pros crazy, the pro's both sides just can't imagine the thinking of person who does not worry about the election until mid October.
Flip a coin.
-------------------------
Obama is the worst president since Woodrow Wilson.
I think a fair case can be made that Clinton and especially Carter were worse than Wilson. This should not be considered a defense of any them.

Carter was a disaster, true, but at least Clinton steered a fairly middle-of-the-road course in fiscal and economic policy - to the intense irritation of his own party activists. But truly, Obama is abysmal!

Jimmy, you should really be one of these new-fangled 'Life Counsellors', you have so much to offer!
Posted by: David Duff | Saturday, 11 August 2012 at 14:26
david. I reckon Obama will have a bit more time to offer than Kennedy. But then again you know what the Yank snipers are like. At least Obama is not a Jew or a Pape that could give him an edge. Oh forgot he was a nigger.
