Plan "B"

[Gramps]

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

Mitt's handlers have decided to use a different approach. He's going to back-off of the Obama atetacks and tell everyone what his plans for America really are. I am amazed. I thought he alreedy outlined his plans. Let me quess, is he a second guesser? I really hope this take China on boast isn't the core of his strategy. He already promised twelve million jobs if elected. NOW, should he be elected due to such outlandish promises how will he respond in four years when his opponent used that flashback to illustrate how far off he was.

I suppose there are a small number of people who will buy into his new game plan. But, overall, shouldn't those people be asking why, if his original ideas weren't adequate, does he need a new theme.

I would never go so far as to say Mitt won't win but I will go so far as to say that he has already established himself as a cronic liar on some issues. Whn we reach adulthood we're expected to leave our childish beliefs behind (didn't St. Paul have something to say about that in the scriptures). Tooth fairies are okay for kids, a way to milk a little money in exchange for acceptance of what is inevitable. Easter bunnies are okay too if you're still naive enough to believe that rabbits lay eggs.
But the day of reality opens a whole new world to us. It's time to accept the things we cannot change and to change the things we are able to change and to have enough sense to know the difference.

I anxiously await Mitt's Plan "C", or perhaps "D" coming down the stretch. One thing to keep in mind might be that Obama actually has xomd hands-on experience when it comes down to tackling the problems we're facing. We spent four years training him for the task and I think we owe it to him and to ourselves to eee if our efforts paid off.

Even if Mitt promises a pot of gold at the end of his rainbow, be skeptical. He is desperate. If Rove was masterminding his campaign I might be a tad more suspicious but I wouldn't throw in the sponge either. I tell you again, If you want sanity to prevail, Obama is the man.

No Plan C or D, Gramps.....it's Plan B to the bitter end. A "Plan C" announcement would create the obvious meme, even in Rightwing Media, that the Romney Campaign has completely fallen apart and is doing its impersonation (not to violate Godwin's Law) of Hitler in the bunker in "Downfall" (and other films)...

dreaming up fantasy divisions to "repulse the Russian assault on Berlin", when no such divisions existed.

He'd be done with. In fact, if he "goes back to Plan A", it's likely the same scenario, because that creates the line "Romney tried 'going specific'...that FAILED so he's back to vague promises again!"

But the main problem is...if "Plan B" really is, "going specific"? Mitt's in trouble...because his specifics don't add up. There is NO WAY he can close enough "loopholes for the rich" to make his tax plan numbers add up to "revenue neutral"....he would HAVE to touch POPULAR middle class deductions.

And on spending, he would HAVE to offer up BIG, DETAILED spending cuts....which mean hitting needed or again POPULAR programs.

And on foreign policy, he can't offer specifics, because he'd either be offering "More Dubya neo-conservatism"....or things similar to what the President is doing making him a "Me Too" Guy.

I especially appreciate your comment about the experience that the president has gained. I would point out that the first year required a special strength and perserverance. It reminds me of the difference between playing with son on a pee wee league and being in the big leagues. I just hope he gets a team in the Congress that knows how to play.

But, but, but....he SAID he was going to create 12 million jobs, and do away with Obamacare without doing away with the good parts, and give out more free money for the "job creators" and, and , and..........
