Romney is Right, Dems Not Ready to Lead
If you think Mitt Romney’s comparisons of the Democratic party’s Presidential candidates are far-fetched, consider this. For as far back as you may care to go in history, the Democratic party has always focused on their patented mantra centered on the word hope. In order for this mantra to work you need a voter base comprised of people who feel hopeless or view themselves as oppressed or in some way treated unfairly.
While stating they want to lift people up, they do everything they can to keep them down. To lift people up would reduce or eliminate their voter base over time. Some current campaign examples that would indicate this are available for each candidate. The Edwards’ campaign is the most obvious and needs no explanation. He has recently promoted a poverty tour. The women’s vote should be a natural for Clinton but Obama ranks higher among college educated women while Clinton appeals to what has been characterized in the polls as needy women. Obama has not centered his campaign on the needy yet he has found plenty of opportunity to generalize social injustice and a more subtle brand of Edwards’ two Americas.
More than you might think, Romney’s description of Democratic party candidates is on point and correct. In Congress, Reid and Pelosi pushed hard for minimum wage increases which do nothing more than sustain a base of lower income wage earners thinking the Dems are helping them out. Rather than lift up lower wage earners, it merely continues the trend, burdens the successful and does nothing to solve the problem. The Democratic party candidates are not ready to lead.

Republicans have lead us into a very serious situation. Mitt Romney is incompetent to lead the United States of America as every other Republican candiate in the field.
There is only two canidates that are qualified to to become President of the US, those two are Sen. Hillary Clinton & Gov Bill Richardson, in that order.
I beleive that these times are too dark and too dangerous for Americans to not see what is clearly in front of them. This is not an election where you vote for the guy who can’t articulate himself and looks like a good drinking buddy.
These are times where one thing and one thing only matter, competence.
Hillary husband has been there, done it, and Hillary in her own right is accomplished.
I think Hillary will win, Clinton haters may be out of steam, this nation is in too deep because of Clinton haters and thier blind rage that has rationale rooted in conspircy theorys.
Times are a changing.. Republicans screwed up, and big time.

I agree! I would never hire someone for a high level position who didn’t have experience leading large organizations, have experience managing budgets, have the ability to define a vision and bring people together to acheive the vision.
Why would anyone consider a candidate who only talks about what they can do, compared to someone who has done it. We don’t have to rely on their “promise” we know they have successfully turned around failing organizations time and time again.

It’s true that you want someone with Executive experience to head the Executive branch of government. IIRC that leaves only Richardson, former governor of NM, on the D side. And it leaves Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee, and Tommy Thompson among the current R candidates.
The next presidential election is very important. The D’s must lose, because if they win they will force America to lose militarily to peacemongering, to lose its security to open borders, its language to a tower of babel, its identity to multiculturalism, and its constitution to a “living constitution” that judges are expected to ferret out of the ether instead of reading the words of the Constitution and following its plain meaning. But the voting is more than a year away. Why is anybody obsessing about it now? We don’t even have all the candidates officially in the field yet.
