Romney RNC Speech

Telegraph: Reports on the forthcoming speech by Governor Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention, " ..poised to finally confront the questions over his Mormon faith and capitalist career..".

Lets Get Real:

This is a risky strategy folks, it deals with the two biggest negatives against Romney as seen by the liberal elite media. One can promise that the uber liberal media will try to give the impression that the Mormon faith is flaky, they would never have done that to JFK in the 1960 election, also they will stress Democratic talking points that Romney has not released his tax returns, one does not recall the uber media press going after how JFK funded his campaign through the money of his infamous father. Thus the Governor should it keep it simple, honest, and very direct, do not give the media the chance to undermine the speech with basic faults. Thus the fight is on folks.

Paul Ryan Speech - Review

BBC News: Reports the speech by the Republican VP Nominee Paul Ryan has been challenged on its accuracy.

Lets Get Real:

In other words folks the speech was great, when the BBC types start to parrot some of the arguments of the Democrats and get in to the weeds about Medicare you know that the Oval has a problem, the Ryan speech has some great lines, how in essence Obama is full of hot air, as in rhetoric but lacks leadership, also how young graduates have been failed by POTUS, stuck in their old rooms at home, wondering when their life's will start. Thus a good kick in the butt for Obama and a good spring board for Governor Romney tonight. Advice to Governor, keep it simple and direct, do not try to be Obama, the ONE will be on show next week at the Democratic National Convention, full of elite media praise, thus Romney has to look the American people in the eye and tell them the truth.

OBL's Death - The Truth

Telegraph: Reports that Osama Bin Laden was shot while unarmed and killed as he was wounded on the floor by US Special Forces, the article notes the following on the shooting, " ..raised questions over whether bin Laden represented a clear threat when he was first fired on. ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog has not problem that OBL was kllled while unarmed, or shot while wounded on the floor, in fact the US Special Forces were to kind to him, if it has been this blog he would taken his time to die, we were all changed by 9/11. The worry for the Oval is that the US left will start to ask questions, were the lied too, the official version was that OBL was going for a gun, not true, thus the operation to get OBL was a kill operation. If Obama had been a Republican the US liberal left would be going bonkers, but one can expect they will remain quiet in till after November. The US Special Forces that killed OBL are heroes, its just the shame that the Oval is acting like it killed OBL, it gave the order but was not there, and from reports it seems that the Oval was pushed in to taking action by Secretary Clinton, thus not that impressive POTUS.

Ann Romney Speech - Review

BBC News: Reports on Ann Romney's speech to the Republican National Convention.

Lets Get Real:

The speech was good folks, simple, direct, from the heart, it made Governor Mitt Romney human, dealt with the problems the family had in the past, Ann Romney has had to deal with MS and breast cancer, how Romney made his money. The Speech should bring some bounce in the polls for the Romney/Ryan ticket. The big test is Thursday when Romney takes the stage, he is not as charismatic as Reagan or has the folksy manner of Bush 43, thus Romney should play to his basic points, good at business, a family man, a citizen politician, the man who saved the winter Olympics, the US voter has seen the Obama charisma, thus they might want a professional but boring kind of President. The last thing Romney should do is to try and out charisma Obama, it wont work, for all his faults POTUS is great at making speeches. Lets see what Thursday brings folks.

Afghan Massacre - Taliban

Guardian: Reports that the Taliban of Afghanistan have killed 17 people, the article notes the following, " ..killed 17 civilians – reportedly by cutting their throats – in a remote and violent corner " of Afghanistan.

Lets Get Real:

The West is leaving the poor people of Afghanistan, men, women and children to the mercy of the Taliban, murders, thugs, criminals and complete B ( you can finish that word folks ). This will be Southern Vietnam 1975 all over again, who will be on the last helicopter out, and what UK Soldier will die for nothing, and if the West is not about winning in Afghanistan then any death is for nothing, lets get our brave boys and women out NOW, this war can not be won, this is bloody Afghanistan after all, powers never have a good time, one has to feel sorry for the poor people of Afghanistan, after the West leaves the people will be returned to the Dark Ages, shame on the West.

Ed Miliband vs. Ed Balls - Labour Divisions

Telegraph: Reports on policy clash between the Labour Leader Ed Miliband and the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls, the article notes the following on the Ball's negatives , " ..not always consulted the party leader before making key announcements. He is understood not to discuss his future plans in shadow Cabinet meetings. ".

Lets Get Real:

This brings back the good memories of the Blair/Brown feud between 1997 - 2010, if Ed Miliband becomes PM will he as Blair had to to, send spies around to the Chancellors office to see what is in the Budget. One has to say the BALL's has learned his lessons well from MASTER, Gordon Brown, one would think Brown would be proud of him, but for the fact that BALL's has dished his former MASTER. One has to ask who is leaking this, of course it comes from the office of the leader, as in the good old days you have two different Courts that slag each other off, one has to wonder without the firm grip of the old New Labour machine can these splits be held in till 2015. Is power more important to Labour, or being a big fish in small bowl, interesting times ahead folks.

Syrian Update - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Free Syrian Army has claimed that it has shot down a Assad Regime Military helicopter that was firing on a district in Damascus.

Lets Get Real:

One has to wonder how the rebels are getting equipment that can shoot down an advance Syrian helicopter, the Gulf States are providing arms and equipment while the UK and the US are proving no military support, well that is the official line, it is reported from the Turkish/Syrian border that the CIA is stopping anti Western terrorists groups in Syria from getting any weapons, they do not want a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan when the US did not really care who got the military support as long as the USSR was taken down, some of those groups became the Taliban, and then of course we have Al Qaeda, thus the West is being more careful this time. Thus the overthrow of Assad will take longer but it will happen folks, it is just a matter of time, the Russians will support Assad at the UN, while Iran will give military support, neither will risk if they are clever in placing their own troops on the ground, that would be a red flag to the West.
