...is what came to mind as I saw Romney frame the race as a decision between the three winners of the last three contests.
That's what Ron Paul(8:45
) should say. Or
maybe Herman Cain or Stephen Colbert should
say it**. I am in the process of watching last night's debate on CNN and Rick Santorum (
9:10)kicked off the debate with a thread that crosses another thought I had during the introductions, "We are a country of laws".* Actually Ron Paul had already started a few threads in his introduction, we are not nation builders. Romney(15:58) stands up to a Gingrich charge or rather a question on rhetoric and deals with it in legal terms. My original thought had to do with the irony of the conservative nature, but
Gingrich is almost a
false flag of
rhetoric.
* quoting Santorum, not my thought or thread which I may have lost, but laws are the thread of building our nation
BTW- Not necessarily the missing thought: but in regards to Romney's financial reporting, does it bode well for his credit as a business leader, let alone maker of laws? I mean the mis-reporting, and his math regarding taxes and charitable contributions adding up at times to 40 to 45%?

related irony (

update: what I thought was a churned media book event, may turn out to be good for the debate. What can we learn from Arizona? Will we take her up on it? Will the NAACP take Newt up on his
charge? Just how do we demand paychecks
*** over food stamps? Is it as easy as rhetoric?]
