In his acceptance speech at the GOP convention, Governor Romney failed to even mention our nation's troops in the field. In his recent "major" speech on foreign policy, he failed to even mention the word diplomacy.
I think an additional tack can be made not just about the obvious lies and self contradictions by Romney/Ryan - for sometimes you realize even more about a person by what they do not say.
You can tell even more by what they fail to even recognize.
I deeply hope Team O can drive this meme home in the next few days.
A "major" address on foreign policy that doesn't even mention the word diplomacy. And acceptance speech at the GOP convention that fails to recognize our troops, even in passing.
If neither of those words even warrant mention in the mind of the man who would be Commander-In-Chief, then the voters of this great country need to take pause and ask why. Why would a man who would be president fail to even think of diplomacy or our troops who are in harm's way.
The closer we get to election day, the more attention people pay. Governor Romney has shown that his focus lies elsewhere than on the wellfare of our troops and the proper conduct of foreign diplomacy.
Aloof disregard for the military and careless cheap shots will not make the world a safer place to live.
