In our local newspaper today, the editors said that Romney can win tonight's debate "on policy".
How stupid can you get ?
I was not going to let them get away with that, so I just send them this quick letter:
Sirs:
Today's editorial in The Forum states that Mr. Romney can win the debate "on policy".
I was wondering what policy you were speaking of. Is it the policy of turning Medicare into a voucher program, and drastically reducing Medicaid for children in need ? Or perhaps his policy for health care, that will leave 72 million Americans without insurance ? Or perhaps you were talking about his tax plan, which he refuses to reveal, since most Americans would not like it ?
You are right, Mr. Romney has failed to convince Americans that he is the right man for the job. Could it be because of that now famous video that was released, in which Mr. Romney shows that he speaks to his rich friends one way, then speaks to the rest of the country another way ?
Just for good measure, you repeat the tired Fox News taking point about President Obama's "failed policies". Well, to those of us who pay attention and know the facts, we know this is simply not true.
What do you think ?
