Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat do you want said about Romney at the Dem Convention?
I want speakers to bring up his taxes and his wealth, Bain, his support for a personhood amendment, his dishonesty, his having flip flopped on every major issue. Speaking of flip flopping, isn't it amazing that etch-a-sketch man is getting away with his flip flopping in the MSM and that they nailed Kerry for supposedly flip flopping?

(9,854 posts)It's the kind of thing WE don't care about, but THEIR base is already nervous about the Mormon thing. For Romney and his sons to stand on stage and tout his family history as if it were one of immigration is CRAZY. I mean, crazy for them to even bring it up because it opens them to this kind of attack AND crazy on its' face.
LISTEN...most people's brains shut off when you start talking about Bain. Say the word 'polygamy' and watch them sit up. This story is the perfect example of Mitt Romney twisting reality to suit him and it will stick in people's minds.

(2,940 posts)I want the tax returns to be an issue, and I want them to nail him for repeatedly changing his mind about really important issues for political expediency.
I also think it's important to bring up the fact that neither Romney nor Ryan have any foreign policy experience.
I want them to talk about Ryan's beliefs about personhood, too - that if he had his way, hormonal contraception would likely be illegal, and that the Romney/Ryan ticket would generally be bad for women.

(3,657 posts)High Tech left the state at an alarming rate under his tenure. Then we can talk about his tax hikes on the middle class and poor as Governor.

(2,338 posts)Particularly how he bought all the hard drives from he his tenure and destroyed all records associated with that. Guess he has more to hide than his taxes. THAT is why he won't talk about his time as Governer. He doesn't want that brought up. Leaves more questions than those of his taxes.

President Obama needs to be inspiring and bring back the hope he brought 4 years ago....and you don't do that by making petty attacks on an easy target like Romney. There will be plenty of time for that after the convention, but President Obama needs to portray himself as the bigger person, an adult who can lead our country, rather than just some rich brat who thinks he deserves the Presidency because of how rich he is so he lies and attacks the President for no reason.

(47,953 posts)There is so much out there on Mittens and Ryan. One thing I really, really hope they hammer is that R&R's economic 'plan' DOES NOT REDUCE THE DEFICIT. Say it over and over. Obama is the only politician who had a serious, worked out plan to reduce the deficit, by 3 trillion dollars, and he was turned down by Ryan and company.

(4,340 posts)The President needs to make it clear that he only responds to SERIOUS issues, and there are plenty of them that don't include Mitt Romney.

(22,336 posts)He has nothing of substance to offer.
Also, I've heard Republicans say that Obama wants to "fundamentally change the nature of the United States." Which is hogwash. First, uhm no he doesn't, and second, if he did he's been president for four years and he would have. But Romney and Ryan really DO want to fundamentally change the nature of the United States. We would no longer be a country where no one is left to starve, where we work together for a common good, where we provide our citizens with great opportunities. It would be "every man for himself." And I do mean every MAN. Women are not even a consideration, except for our wombs and how much they don't belong to us.
