Thomas Sowell just wrote a column on this called Nice Losers: The list of Republican presidential candidates like this goes back at least as far as 1948, when Thomas E. Dewey ran against President Harry Truman. Dewey spoke in lofty generalities while Truman spoke in hard-hitting specifics.

Bush. "Obama did not "steal" the election. Rather, he wiped the floor with Romney because we live in a country dominated by leftist-communists whose preferred form of government is totalitarian statism... Rather, he wiped the floor with Romney because Romney has never had a brain in his head. Obama was easily refutable.

Romney was completely out of place in running for the presidency. Navigation More SOLO Store Syndicate The opinions expressed here are the unmoderated views of the contributors who express them.
