Today you announced that Paul Ryan is your Vice Presidential Running Mate. It is a good choice.
I must admit that currently I am not voting for you. You haven't given me a reason to. It might comfort you to know that I am not inclined to vote for President Obama again.
Now you need to get serious about the campaign. It is not enough to run as I am not Obama. You needs to show us where you want to take this country. We already know what Obama wants to do. So Mitt, if we elect you, what do you see America as in 2016?
How do you intend to deal with this country’s problems?
What is your Foreign Policy
What is your Defense Policy
What is you vision for the relationship between the States and the Federal Government?
What are your budget priorities?
You need to get your answers out and be prepared to say why they are better than the other guy’s
Only by defining yourself and having arguments ready can you stop the other side from defining you. (I Know you won’t like their definition of Mitt Romney)
You also have some damage control to do. Specifically, you need to get the stories about your tax returns out of the news. Otherwise, Obama is going to beat you over the head with it from now until election day. No matter what is in those returns, I guarantee that the speculation floated by the other side will be far worse. You should reconsider releasing your returns. At least for the years 2000 – 2011. When you do, be prepared to answer all questions with clean facts.
As far a attacking the other side. Here are a few things you might want to take a shot at:
1. In 2008 Obama promised to close Gitmo. Its still open.
2. In 2008 Obama promised to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 50%. We are out of Iraq, but not Afghanistan.
3. Unemployment is too high. The country needs jobs. How about a coherent plan with goals and metrics for putting Americans back to work.?
That is a start. You have the money, Do you have the will to and the brains to pull this out?
