Romney Cannot Talk About Ideas He Does Not Have

Mitt Romney might do better to just stop talking because when he opens his mouth he doesn’t say anything worth saying. There is no evidence that he got much of a bump from his convention speech and if he was going to get a bump, it should have been there. Things haven’t been any better since.

Romney says Obama had no new ideas. What, his old ideas are supposed to be so good? It’s a hoot hearing Mitt of all people talk about recycled ideas – Obama’s “Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!”

Of course, Romney isn’t the only one to claim Obama offered nothing new, but when was the last time any media pundit noticed that the Republicans haven’t had a new idea since 2001? And vague assurances, such as those he gave Iowa the other day, that he is “looking beyond the bad news” isn’t good enough.

The media needs to take notice of that not only will the GOP not offer any ideas, they won’t talk about any ideas. As it has been since 2008, they are running a campaign of negation; negation of the Democratic Party, negation of Democratic candidates and Democratic policies without offering anything in its place. Look at his new ad (and they spent $4.5 million to buy the spots to say this):

“Here in {insert state name}, we’re not better off under President Obama.”

Getting rid of something without replacing it with something else is nihilism; it’s not a platform.

When Romney goes on the campaign trail and submits to interviews and particularly when he engages in debates, it is going to be essential for him to actually elucidate a position. Because it is not Obama who has failed to do so, but Romney and the entire Republican Party. This vague, dismissive wave-of-a-hand politicking wouldn’t get him elected to mayor, let alone the highest office in the land.

1. It is more like the Negation of the American people

2. He should not run for an office that he is not fit to occupy. Period.

3. I see something darker with Mittwit

I don't think he's running for President; I think he's running for King.

4. I doubt he knows the difference between the two. n/t
