Obama has created more disabled people than workers, but Romney's insipid, milquetoast schtick isn't up to telling people about it-Steyn

8/10/12, "2012 Election Is The Last Exit Ramp Before The Death Spiral," Mark Steyn, IBD

"Half the country is entirely unaware of the existential threat Obama-sized government represents, and Mitt seems in no hurry to alert them to what's at stake, save for occasional warnings that if we're not careful America will end up like Europe.

We should be so lucky. The more likely scenario is something closer to the more corrupt and decrepit fiefdoms of Latin America. Look at the underlying assumptions of the Mitt-gives-you-cancer ad — that in America a businessman is somehow responsible not only for his employee's health, but that of the employee's family members years after said employee has left said employ. No Euro-socialist would even understand the basis of the attack: In its assumptions about the ever-more tortuous and farther-flung burdens the state can place upon private business, it is quintessentially American.

This election represents the last exit ramp before the death spiral. (Yes, yes, I know: too long for a campaign button.) Obama has spent the last four years making things worse. More debt, more dependency, more delusion. For Act Two, he's now touting the auto bailout as a model for ... everything!

"I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry."...

Obama is the first president in history to create more disabled people than workers. He is the biggest creator of disabled people on the planet. He has disabled more people than the Japanese tsunami. More Americans have been disabled by Obama than have been given cancer by Mitt Romney. "Ask yourself, 'Are you more disabled now than you were four years ago?' Obama 2012." Followed by the wheelchair logo with the Obama "O" where the wheel should be. In the Democrats' Dependistan, the wheelchair ramp is downhill all the way.

I support Romney, and I'm not rattled by a bad week's polls. But I am bothered that Romney's insipid message does not rise to the challenge this nation faces. Maybe the milquetoast pantywaist candy-assed soft-focus "Believe in America" shtick will prove sufficient under a relentless barrage of nakedly thuggish attack ads designed to Barry Goldwater the guy. But John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary, thinks not:

"This is a race he should be able to win," he wrote, "so if he loses, it won't be because Obama won it. It will be because he lost it."

Just so. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. The hour is late, and the man needs to get in the game." via Free Republic

Ed. note: Romney is McCain again, happy to beat up other Republicans in the primaries, but has no intention of beating Obama. He couldn't care less about the country. He only cares about himself.
