I just stumbled upon the website theAmericanConservative.com and they are really slamming Romney. After perusing the site, some of the stories could be placed right here on DailyKos. For starters, the headline on the site is AN iNFANTILIZING SPEECH -Romney fails by refusing to say anything his audience doesn't want to hear. Part of the story
But the rest of the speech was pretty dreadful, and particularly this section:
Every small business wanted these to be their best years ever, when they could hire more, do more for those who had stuck with them through the hard times, open a new store or sponsor that Little League team. Every new college graduate thought they’d have a good job by now, a place of their own, and that they could start paying back some of their loans and build for the future. This is when our nation was supposed to start paying down the national debt and rolling back those massive deficits. This was the hope and change America voted for.
I don’t have the transcript yet (the above is from the pre-released excerpts), but the next line is something like, “That’s what Americans deserve.”
Think about that: immediately after the biggest economic crisis since the great depression, Americans deserved to have “the best years ever.”
More after the fold.
The author goes on about Romney's plan to create 12 million new jobs and shreds his plan to pieces.
Other stories on the front page include Revolt of the Rich in which this gem is written
It was 1993, during congressional debate over the North American Free Trade Agreement. I was having lunch with a staffer for one of the rare Republican congressmen who opposed the policy of so-called free trade. To this day, I remember something my colleague said: “The rich elites of this country have far more in common with their counterparts in London, Paris, and Tokyo than with their fellow American citizens.”

Are Conservatives Irrational? with this little paragraph
Despite a religious temperament and natural respect for tradition, an unsettling, empirical bent forces me into agreement with Mooney and his fellow liberals on the issues of climate change and evolution. Darwin got it right. There is no scientifically credible challenge to the general theory of evolution. Likewise, the scientific consensus on climate change—that it’s real, anthropogenic, and poses a grave threat—is as solid as consensus on anything beyond first principles is likely to ever be.
One last story from this website - and REMEMBER - these are all on the front page...
How Conservatism Lost its Mind
Earlier this week the New Yorker’s John Cassidy asked, “Where are the real conservative intellectuals?” The short answer is that “conservative” once signified an intellectual tendency with partisan overtones, now it signifies a partisan tendency that would prefer not to have intellectual overtones — there are no votes in that.
I actually enjoyed reading a conservative blog and watching them beat themselves up.
