Zing!
Reagan used them quite effectively.

Good grief. What nonsense. I can't decide whether you're just clueless or a liar. Which is it?

With respect to "the intelligence of those that belong to [this] cult," you may find this interesting...

Among the LDS Church’s fifteen highest ranking leaders (the “First Presidency” and the “Quorum of the Twelve Apostles") are eight men with doctorate degrees from Harvard, Yale, Purdue, and Duke. Three are lawyers, one of them a former Supreme Court Justice and law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, Earl Warren, one a heart surgeon and the former president of the Society for Vascular Surgery and chairman of the Council on Cardiovascular Surgery for the American Heart Association, several who were professors at Stanford, Texas Tech and the University of Chicago, one of them being a university president. One was the former senior vice president and chief pilot of Lufthansa Airlines. One was on the staff of Adm. Hyman Rickover, developing military and private nuclear power reactors. One was the CEO of a California health care system, another the associate general counsel of what is now Bank of America in Charlotte, N.C. Several fought in World War II, at least one as a jet pilot.

You can question their intelligence if you like. Based on your post, I'm questioning yours.

Hiter was incredibly intelligent as well. Just because someone is booksmart, doesn't mean they aren't idiots.

As Romneys main focus in his campaign has been bashing Obama and his handling of the slow economy i'd be amazed if Obama isnt fully prepared to respond to that issue,and after Mitt brings his only talking point to bear whats he going to talk about after that talking point has been taken care of as he is very vague on all other aspects of his potential presidential agenda,I also think Romneys thinking that almost half of America is a welfare state will be a target rich topic for Obama.

Romney's Working on His Zingers - Politics - The Atlantic Wire
Intelligent people do their homework. Apparently, you have not.

It appears you have no clue about Obama's background, but blindly follow the pack of supporters that believe his rhetoric, like what he said in his 2008 campaign, that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term! Instead, He has added over $5 T to our debt, and his budget proposes adding another $9.2 T over the next decade! He also told us if he didn't have the economy turned around by the end of his term, he did not deserve a second term. I think we should hold him to it.

He also told us he would end the War. Instead, we have a much bigger mess, as he has enabled the takeover of nearly the entire Middle East by terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, which he courted. Now why would he do that, unless it is due to his own Muslim upbringing. He sympathizes with the Brotherhood. Are you denying this?

Can you tell us where you find that Mitt Romney's (he goes by "Mitt," not "Willard", but I guess we could start using Obama's middle name ... Oh, I can hear the howls already!) base are mainly "uneducated?" Many whom I know personally are business owners, and college educated, some are attorneys, my doctor (and according to a recent survey, 55% of doctors oppose Obama), many writers ... hardly "uneducated."

You are an Obama fan. What is your education? You do not write like you are college educated. Just an observation.

Your linked source is not exactly a beacon of objectivity, but rather biased toward the left.

Good point!
I hear that they are now suggesting that families adopt the standards that they have set for school lunches at the family dinner table. Isn't that nice? They are going to tell us what we can and can't eat.

But, that was expected, because under ObamaCare the government is going to have an interest in what we eat, in order to keep the costs of ObamaCare down. They will be monitoring every activity very closely. Isn't that special?

It makes perfect sense...
Obama has been repeating much of the same old rhetoric from his previous campaign, none of which has yet to bear any fruit. In fact, it has been such a failure that he says he needs four more years to make it work!

I think he has had enough time. We cannot afford another four years of this clown.
