Did you guys hear David Brooks this morning? Wow!

[LaydeeBug]

I thought he was just going to endorse President Obama.

[Mass]

1. I doubt it. He has an op-ed today

where he says that, because we dont know how Romney will govern, we should vote for him.

[LaydeeBug]

7. and this morning, he was saying how troubling Romney's positions are. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

22. That op Ed was totally crazy-making.

It was in our morning paper,too. Basically, it said vote for Romney because he has no core principles.

[Indpndnt]

2. Nope, didn't hear him. Don't like him. And don't call me "Dad."

[CTyankee]

3. David Brooks drives me nuts because he pulls stuff out of his ass and writes it, no matter

how stupid it sounds. He's a real moonbeam, that one...

[onethatcares]

21. yeah, I read his column about moderation

which meant the President should kiss republican ass in order to bring peace and happiness to the world.

In the spirit of the season, screw him.

[Aerows]

4. What did he say?

It's a tad frustrating to read a post about what someone said, but then you didn't hear it and there is no indication in the post about what exactly was said.

[LaydeeBug]

9. I am sorry. He was talking about how frustrating all of Romney's positions were

I was shocked.

[Enrique]

15. he said a Romney presidency would be more productive

hardly an endorsement for Obama, imo.

[Ikonoklast]

5. No, I dadn't.

But if I dad, I would say that David Brooks dad cooties.

[LaydeeBug]

6. I can't believe I did that...haven't had coffee yet. lol nt

[Ikonoklast]

8. Dad's all right, we all make mistakes before dad caffeine kicks in.

Just dad let it happen again, mmmk?

[LaydeeBug]

17. LOL!

[EC]

10. He said straight out he didn't trust Rmoney.

Obama is right to make his closing argument on trust.

[hifiguy]

11. I loathe Brooks.

He's 10% as smart as he thinks he is. A shallow, pathetic little man. I generally avoid him, as I have no need for chronic dyspepsia.

[Glamrock]

16. And

While we're at it, fuck chuck turd too!

[Blue Belle]

12. Whdid he say? And where did he say it?

Do you have a link? Clearly I haven't heard it, and it would be helpful to include the relevent information.

[Enrique]

14. here

his appearance on Morning Joe, presumably.

[Enrique]

13. he was making the best case out there to vote for Romney

he was saying that if Obama is elected there will be gridlock, and if Mitt is elected then he will be able to get things done. Also ensuring everyone that Romney is not a right-winger.

Anyone that is undecided at this point, this argument is the most powerful for a Romney presidency.

[LaydeeBug]

18. He was grasping at straws. It was awesome. I mean, he's Bo Bo Brooks, so of COURSE he is

going to try to get you to vote for Romney, but it was so circular. I don't watch him...but the two minutes I did see he was talking about how troubling Romney's positions are, and then he tries to pivot, "but what I am not troubled about is..." LOL

[ecstatic]

19. "he will be able to get things done"

um... that's the problem, and that's why Brooks is nuts when he implies that Romney won't govern as a right winger. From the moment the tea party got in, they got things done alright...Thousands of anti-choice bills across the country. They have no interest in fixing the economy. Their focus is on putting women back in their place, tax cuts for the wealthy, passing bigoted laws, and handing off important government functions to the private sector. Romney's only purpose will be to sign their crazy bills.

[SharonAnn]

20. I wouldn't want Romney to "get things done". They are the wrong "things"

I don't want the GOP running their agenda through without opposition.

[Ikonoklast]

23. Mussolini got things done, too.

A one-party fascist federal government is brutally efficient.
