From Romney’s speech in Warsaw
I began this trip in Britain and end it here in Poland: the two bookends of NATO, history’s greatest military alliance that has kept the peace for over half a century. While at 10 Downing Street I thought back to the days of Winston Churchill, the man who first spoke of the Iron Curtain that had descended across Europe. What an honor to stand in Poland, among the men and women who helped lift that curtain.
Pfffffffft!! declares NPR
LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST: So today is Poland. Why is he stopping in Poland. What does he hope to accomplish with that?
Cokie Roberts: Well, I think part of it was a desire to portray President Obama as something of a wimp, and say he’s abandoned Eastern Europe. But look, you remember well the Reagan Democrats. Those ethnic white voters who had been Democrats for many years; turned out for Ronald Reagan, and have been fairly predictable Republicans since then. Now it’s a smaller percentage of the population — of the voting population — than it used to be, but white voters are still much more Republican than any other group in the electorate. They went for McCain in 2008 by 55%. And I think that getting those ethnic voters excited is really what Romney has in mind here. It’s more for the folks at home — the descendents of the people that he will be speaking to — in Poland.
Forward!
I think the first strike against the tote-baggers’ claim to sophistication is that they turn to somebody called “Cokie” for political analysis.
Heh.
Only a few more cards left in that deck, then perhaps we can all move on. Forward!
It’s the only card they have left.
Ethnic White Voters? I’ve been a white American since birth. Other than some discussion in a foreign language class about the roots of the students’ surnames, I don’t recall being invested in any ethnicity or than that of the land in which I was born.
I guess I didn’t get the memo.
Cokie at least knows from first hand about racism, and purveying it from both tips of the so-called color line, to say nothing of serving the interests of the Democrat party, since her daddy taught her well. She knows too about clinging to the skirts of power. She’s only been doing it all of her life. But Cokie a slave to these paltry ends? Oh, surely not. Who would suggest such a thing?
– They just pray Romneys base is that narrow, and of course they have to pretend for the flock. Its what they get payed to do.
– He was racist in England, racist in Israel, and now he’s racist in Poland. Personally I hope they keep flogging that dead mule.
Well, it’s not like Cokie was going to draw a connection between Poland’s successful transition away from a collectivist, planned economy and Obama’s moves to push the US in that failed direction. It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to guess that was Romney’s intention without even reading the speech but no one has ever accused Cokie of honesty or intelligence.
So, let’s look to the text. Yep, right here:
Romney outrages the “Palestinians”.
Causing outrage among the most thoroughly ruined people in the world is a good thing. The “Palestinians” enjoy the toxic effects of a long term of living under both of the world’s most horrific ideologies, fundamental Islam and globalist socialism. Ruination done this way takes generations to become this bad and more generations to be changed back if it can be at all. *
More than half of Memeorandum today is given over to headlines of Romney’s gaffes on foreign soil. It reads an awfully lot like whistling past the graveyard. Apparently the Wonce hasn’t shot any holes in one or parted the Potomac lately.
– So we have the Wonce hiding out on the back nine, while the aparatchik faithfully floods the party propaganda pipelines with “teh raaaaacist” narrative. All is normal in the great Utopia.
– When is the next CBO report, because honestly, it seems a proud Statist just can’t catch a break these days.
Why did the Hamas operative throw the Fatah operative off the top of the building?
To show that his culture is superior to the Jews’ culture, obviously.
– Finally someone gets a pair – then loses them again.
The tom-toms of the press have been strangely quiet regarding the FLOTUS trip to the Olympics. Normally, we hear gushing reports about how they love love love her! So stylish! Gack. There was a tad bit of snark about her $7000 dollar jacket she wore to some reception.
She may as well stick to track suits and sneakers since you can’t put lipstick on a pig, as someone once said.
– Waffle ears and his junk-m-da-trunk mamma have stayed just too low profile while Romney has ben making him look the pitiful community organizer with his syayesman tour in spite of the best lying efforts of his faithful Pravda on the Hudson press.
– Its driving the collective nuts.
– Best guess; The Brots simply told him they have their hands full as it is and couldn’t guarentee his safety. She’s only been seen at tow venues and thats it.
There is a great new piece over at The Ulsterman Report dot com about how Obama is going down. I have new confidence that Romney is no wimp after reading it.
I have tried to embed the link and it doesn’t want to work, so someone smarter than me can do that, or you can type it in.
– Is this the link Leigh?
WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: How Mitt Romney Mentally Castrated The Obama Campaign
Thanks, guys!
BBH, it is actually nr’s link that I was trying to embed.
– K. picked the other one out of a cluster, so wasn’t sure.
– Meanwhile, I’ll reserve judgement on this insider thing. In some respects he seems to be a bit over stating things, which is generally just a sign of “having the goods on your bosses”, and doesn’t mean anything more or less about accuracy.
– Notice he didn’t say which state, but best guesses would be Ohio or Florida.
– In the mean time he must be walking an awfully thin line. If hes not a plant but on the level you can bet your ass the Obama camp is tearing out the walls and rugs looking for him.
Ulsterman has been interviewing the WHI and another guy, the Wall Street Insider for a couple of years now. I know it all sounds pretty out there, but they have both predicted a number of things that have now come to pass.
The White House Insider is a Democrat operative. The other, WSI, is an old man who is dying and sharing what he knows about power brokers and has in the past interviews admitted that Wall Street manipulated the markets prior to the 2008 election to get Obama elected. He wants to right his wrongs before he dies because he thinks, rightly so, that Obama is not who he says he is and that another term with him in the WH will be the end of the country.
If you feel like it, he has his stuff archived from at least two years ago. Fact or fiction? I don’t know. It makes a good read anyway.
Oh, and the WHI is really well connected and retired a year or so ago, I believe. So he’s not active duty, but he has an awful lot of moles who know everyone.
There is a Military Insider, as well. He’s only done one or two interviews and those were with the WSI old guy present. Pretty interesting stuff.
– These things are almost always a “ladder” affair with multiple paths. You have to havr several sources or it gets too easy for a track back.
– Also with more sources you can avoid a plantted series of tracking intentional “selected” feeds. An old trick used to track a mole.
Kind of like Obama’s composite girlfriends?
How could you tell?
