This Election Isn’t About ‘Details’

The news media lost almost as big as Barack Obama in the opening debate.  The nation saw an energized and aggressive Mitt Romney trounce a President who clearly has little to say and no record to run on.  Was this a new-and-improved Romney, a guy we had somehow never seen before? Of course not.  It was the same old Mitt, but this time, for 90 shining minutes, unfiltered by a left-tilting press that has maliciously and systematically attempted to snuff the life from his campaign since the GOP convention.  Although the news media would have us believe that Romney is weak, clueless and bereft of ideas, it turns out that the Massachusetts governor looks very presidential when his words, deeds and ideas are not being under-reported by the conspiratorial likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times, MSNBC et al.

The fact that liberals have seized on the lack of specific details in Romney’s arguments is as pathetic as it is laughable. This election is not about details, it is about whether Government should be allowed to mismanage every aspect of our lives even more egregiously than it already does.  If Obama has any more Big Ideas to present in the next debate, then bring ’em on!  In the meantime, with their candidate bruised and bloodied, expect the news media, abetted by Obama’s handlers, to do the only thing they can do now that he’s flunked the debate: play dirty.  Very dirty.  Once again, we say “Bring it!” since any attempt to tar a fundamentally decent man like Romney is bound to backfire.
