Arguing day and night trying to define Bain is a losing proposition. No one gives a rip about Bain. Americans care about persistent high gas and food prices, lack of job growth, and the general economic malaise that has gripped the country.

Romney needs to steer away from unsavory issues like Reagan did back in the day. He needs to hit Obama fast and furious (sorry…couldn’t resist) on ECONOMY, ECONOMY, ECONOMY. Obama has given him plenty of ad material these past few weeks…time to use it and define the election narrative as being about THE ECONOMY for the next four months.

Obama is trying to get Romney to swing at pitches in the dirt. Romney is far too smart to fall for such a tactic, but PACs can spend all the money they want calling Obama a liar. That way, the public gets to see Obama undressed while Romney’s hands stay clean.

By the way, don’t EVER say the word “surrender” where this fight with Obama is concerned. If you want to quit, go home alone because no one here will join you.

The economy is his Achilles heel. Have you given any thought as to why Obama wants so badly to talk about Bain…Romney’s dog…heck, ANYTHING except the economy?

One can tout one’s business record without getting into a slop fight with a desperate loser. Romney can tout his job and wealth creating prowess within the scope of defining Obama’s failures. THAT is called going on the offensive. What you are suggesting is, by definition, a defensive move that allows the narrative to be changed from Obama’s crappy economy to Mitt Romney.

We win this election by pinning Obama’s economic record to his vest…then stapling it to his head. At that point, Romney will be in a fine position to put forth his plans to restore our economic greatness.

You want Romney to put out ads clarifying…again…how Obama is distorting his Bain record.

I’m telling you here and now…it doesn’t matter if Romney puts out a thousand ads clarifying his record on Bain. Obama will continue to lie about Romney’s private-sector record to the end of time…no matter how often the lie is refuted.

Romney’s only chance in this election is to put Obama’s terrible record front-and-center…then lay out a plan to bring the nation back from economic malaise. If he addresses Bain or any of the other ridiculous charges from Obama’s people, he changes the narrative away from the Obama economy and is doomed.

I never thought I’d say this, but THANK GOD Romney isn’t as stupid as some conservatives are right now. I swear, they’d get into a fight over a stick of gum to prove they were right about something…even if that fight took place in front of their boss and it meant getting fired.

Romney will win this campaign with BRAINS, not B***S. I wish some on our side would get that through their thick heads. There is a reason they want to pick a fight about Bain. Only someone who wants to hand this election to Obama would want Bain to be the issue instead of the economy.

So a few idiot writers and pundits bleat about Bain. So what?

Ask the common voter (and I have…ad nauseum here in Indiana) what they think about Bain. They don’t even know what the hell Bain is…not a clue.

What they DO know is they are paying way too much for gas and food…and that there are far too few jobs, which were promised by Obama.

Hit him there…over…and over…and over again…then watch him fall like a deck of cards. THAT is a winning “rebuttal” to the Bain attacks.

…but I am in this case because I watched Romney dispatch Gingrich with this measured approach, and now we want him to change strategy because this is Obama and we want him beaten down NOW.

Patience is a virtue for a reason

…and one I understand entirely. It’s really difficult and frustrating to see him criticize Obama while at the same time saying NOTHING about what he will do differently.

That having been said, there is infinite wisdom in waiting to release such details to the voting public…like:

1. The earlier Romney releases his economic plans, the sooner Dems begin tearing into him…including the MSM. There is no reason to give them extra time to nitpick anything unless you are a glutton for punishment…and Romney isn’t.

2. The American public has an extremely short attention span. Giving them information in July doesn’t necessarily mean they will retain it in November…and Romney will spend tens of millions trying to remind them of the details of his economic plan when that money can be better spent attacking Obama in the weeks leading to the election.

3. Reagan spoke in generalities for much of his 1980 campaign. He spoke of America’s greatness, diminishing government, lowering the tax burden, etc., but he hardly ever got into specifics until the debate. I see no reason why that strategy wouldn’t win this time around.

I used to underestimate Mitt Romney…then I watched him destroy Newt Gingrich, both on the trail and on the debate dais, when I never though such a victory was possible. He’ll take Obama out in due time…bank it.

Seriously…you need to stop. Almost every comment from you is about Bain, and I’m beginning to question your motives when you won’t let it go.

Bain is a losing issue…a distraction. It will never be a positive for Romney because no matter how many ads Romney runs explaining Bain, Obama will double down and run the same lies.

In other words, Romney gains NOTHING by talking about Bain. I don’t know how much clearer I can make that for you.
