Or just even more so?
“I think the comparison to Nixon is not a very good one, because … Nixon may have been a shadier character in some respects — the Southern strategy, laundering campaign money — but he abided by the norms of the time in terms of disclosure,” said Norm Ornstein, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute.
Gosh, a goddamned commie is at the heart of that well known liberal think tank the American Enterprise Institute.
Could it possibly be...
Oh wait.... I need to find a string of pearls...to clutch silly.
Could it be, that Mitt Romney has even started to put the fear of Saint Ronnie of Reagan into conservatives?
He goes on, and I think they really are worried.
“I think there’s nobody like Romney,” Ornstein. “Romney is like the Michael Phelps of presidential candidates. if you’re looking for gold medals in terms of audacious lying, and adamant refusal to turn over personal information, nobody comes close.
I would have thought they would have trumpeted that he is the most able liar in American Political history, a new win for conservatives everywhere!
But now, imagine having a president that nobody would dare to believe how could you:
1] Assure other NATO members and allies that what you are saying contains one grain of truth.
2] Assure Israel or Palestine, depending on which one you were talking to at the time.
3] How could you negotiate trade agreements in good faith.
4] When he says he is going to cut taxes and not raise them, I bet conservatives are having kittens about that one.
5] When he says he is conservative doesn't that mean he will just bend before those who scream the loudest, i.e Paul Ryan.
6] Will Paul Ryan take to wearing chain mail to protect his back from the knives Romney will stick him with?
7] When he gives a State of the Union, you better read the follow up retractions the next day
As a CEO you may well get away with such shenanigans in the board room or shareholders meetings, but being the President of the United States of America you are relying on others to take your words seriously. China and Russia can just wait for the follow up explanations to decide what he meant?
If he cant be honest about where he stands on any given issue; how in the hell does he expect the world not to yank his crank?
The right have a real reason to be scared, and so do we all.
