A simple question for Mr. Romney

Would that someone would simply ask Mr. Romney & co. to explain exactly how they would have handled the situation in Iraq differently? There is some question, even among experts, as to whether or not a U.S. force would have prevented ISIS from evolving into the terror powerhouse it has become. In any case, there are no American casualties in the latest war against ISIS, in comparison to 4,491 dead and at least 50,000 more wounded and disabled. That somehow makes a difference.

 

In regard to Putin’s escapades in Ukraine, and the Ebola crisis, what exactly would have been done differently by President Mitt? It’s one thing to trash talk when you’re engaging in lots of Monday morning quarterbacking, but when it comes down to details, that’s where the devil overtakes you. What-exactly-would you be able to accomplish? Other than being Masters of Spin, enabling an entire party to hoodwink at least half of the voting electorate into believing they have some kind of answer to counter the present hands-off approach to running Congress, what new initiative does the GOP propose?

 

I can’t wait to hear their counter-proposal to the Affordable Care Act, their Jobs Program that focuses on getting the middle class back to work instead of corporate tax breaks. Or their Immigration Proposal that opens a path to citizenship. None of these things will happen in the next Congress, if the GOP takes control. That is one of the more depressing truths that no-one has spelled out for the voting class of the United States.
