" . . . Romney’s inability to articulate a principled conservative conviction on any issue." Well, yes, he is far from perfect, but it is time to stop this BS. How about Romney's position on marriage? On developing our own country's oil and coal resources? On economic freedom versus socialism? We will never see a perfect conservative, but we desperately need to be rid of a perfect statist.

I believe Schiff's analysis is correct. Anyone paying attention can see a big crash is now unavoidable; the only unknown is whether it will come on Obama's watch or Romney's. The former is to be hoped for, since it will deepen the rout Obama will suffer in November.

The Mexicans have to be furious about the whole affair, and are doubtless only holding back due to diplomatic needs not to really get into it with the Obama regime. But as Obama's re-election chances continue to sink, we can expect to hear more. Which will help Obama sink faster. Don't hold back, Mexico! A lot of us gringos would like to send you Obama, Holder, and the whole rotten bunch to stand trial in your courts and hopefully rot in your jails.

It's interesting how more Democ-rats are starting to leave the sinking ship of Obama.

What mystifies me is how Jews of all people could fail to realize the folly of appeasement, not only of enemies bent on their destruction but of treacherous "allies" like the Obama regime and the Europeans who are already kowtowing to their emerging Muslim majorities.

I would update that to say, "Only in America does a decorated veteran sleep in the streets while an enemy of America sleeps in the White House."

If Romney doesn't, it may be because he has more ammunition than he has time to use. I foresee a blowout in November.

Any time the government goes into "business" the result is certain to be corruption, waste, and failure.

I have a strong feeling your strong feeling is due to simple racism. You think the guy got to Congress by being illiterate? Quite a few blacks actually do survive the lousy schools and the Democrat-fostered victim culture that afflicts many.

I say, hooray and welcome, and phooey on those hardheads who say otherwise. The man clearly has done considerable soul searching and internal struggling, and while he may not yet have abandoned some of his progressive notions, give him some time (let him spend a few evenings over beers with Alan West). He is already on board on many issues. That's worth a lot.
