SF Chronicle - "Romney avoids specifics on debt supercommittee" -

[TomCADem]

This is amazing. Romney cannot even bring himself to support a Republican proposal to offer $1 dollar of revenue for about $10 dollars in cuts! I guess Romney is really trying to grab the Grover Norquist vote.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is criticizing the deficit-cutting supercommittee process in Washington without saying if he'd support a plan that includes increased tax revenue.

Failure by the panel to produce a plan by Wednesday to cut deficits by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years will trigger across-the-board cuts to the Pentagon and various domestic programs.

Romney told a New Hampshire audience Friday that that amounts to a deal with the devil. But he continued to avoid direct comment on a plan offered by Republican Sen. Pat Toomey that includes tax hikes.

Romney said he disagrees with Democrats who want to raise taxes but was silent on Toomey's plan. He took no questions from the media after the event and reporters were asked to leave before he did.

1. You notice how none of the Repuke presidential candidates

have really had anything to say about the supercommittee? They know that only Congress and the President will be held to blame for its failure, if they touch it, some of that blame will stick to them.

I'm surprised that Mittens has even gotten this close to it.

2. He's not leading on the super committee!!!

After all, the Pubs are trying to drag Obama into the mess! What about the failure of the Pubs to lead? :puke:

3. The GOPer CULT is missing a LEADER who instructs/commands

4. They don't seem to be quite as coordinated without one

They don't have their Borg King (or Queen) telling them what to think and say at the moment. Makes me feel a whole lot better about next year.
