'Fasten your seat belt': Judge Napolitano stuns Juan Williams
Janeen Capizola 11-21-13 "Juan, fasten your seat belt," Judge Andrew Napolitano warned liberal Juan Williams before he flabbergasted Williams with a lecture on the Constitution.
"You have abandoned the whole notion of conservatism tonight," a shocked Williams responded to the judge's lecture.
"You have abandoned the notion that the Constitution means what it says," Napolitano retorted.
Wednesday's Fox News' "Special Report" panel sat back and smiled while Napolitano schooled Williams on how, in his world, the "government should live within the confines of the constitution."
"Lay it on him, judge," Bret Baier instructed Napolitano:
Juan, fasten your seat belt. The federal government should stay within the confines of the constitution. The constitution does not authorize the federal government to have anything whatsoever to do with healthcare. So, Obamacare should be abolished along with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, but the people who are on those programs should be grandfathered in because they paid money to be in there and they've ordered their lives to stay there. The states should regulate healthcare because the states retain that power under the constitution.
So, if you want if you want mandatory healthcare, go live in Massachusetts. If you want the free market and you want individual savings accounts, financial money savings accounts, go live in Texas. As Uncle Ronnie used to say, you can vote with your feet.
"Let me just very quickly ask, you say you want to do away with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?" a stunned Williams asked the judge.
"Absolutely," the judge told him. "In my world, where government lives within the confines of the Constitution, people are responsible for themselves. It's not the Beltway world where you live. People don't look to the federal government to take care of them."
Two tweets summed the segment perfectly:

The Willful Blindness of an IRS Sycophant
Remember Sleepless in Seattle, the 1993 romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan?
Well, there should be a remake of that film entitled Clueless in Washington. But it wouldn't be romantic and it wouldn't be a comedy.
Though there would be a laughable aspect to this film, because it would be about an editorial writer at the Washington Post trying to convince people to feel sorry for the IRS. Here's some of what Stephen Stromberg wrote on Wednesday.
Congress has done some dumb things. One of the dumbest is the GOP's penny-wise-pound-foolish campaign to defund the Internal Revenue Service. …its mindless tantrum against the IRS has produced for taxpayers: a tax season that was "by far the worst in memory," according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an agency watchdog.
Before I share any more of the article, I should point out that the "Taxpayer Advocate Service" isn't a watchdog. It should be renamed the "Government Advocate Service" since its main goal is to increase the IRS's budget.
But I'm digressing. Let's continue with Mr. Stromberg's love letter to tax collectors.
The underlying problem is that Congress has asked the IRS to do a lot more, such as administering a critical piece of Obamacare, but the GOP Congress won't give the agency the funding it needs to do its work. …But good luck convincing Republicans to fix the IRS's entirely predictable and avoidable problems. Not when that would mean restraining the impulse to act on anti-tax orthodoxy, blind populist anger and scandal-mongering about the IRS mistreating conservatives. In fact, Republicans want to double down on their nonsense budgeting, proposing deep cuts to the IRS last month.
Oops, time for another correction.
Stromberg is cherry picking data to imply that the IRS budget has been savaged.
If you look at the long-run data, however, you'll see that the IRS now has almost twice as much money to run its operations as it did a few decades ago.
And that's based on inflation-adjusted dollars, so we have a very fair apples-to-apples comparison.
Stromberg also wants us to sympathize with the bureaucrats because the tax code has been made more complex.
The underlying irrationality is the same: The IRS doesn't write the tax code or health-care law, but the agency must apply these policies and engage with people affected by them, so it is an easy scapegoat.
Part of this passage is correct, and I've specifically pointed out that the tax code is mind-numbingly complex and that politicians deserve an overwhelming share of the blame for this sorry state of affairs.
That being said, the IRS goes beyond the law to make the system worse, as we saw when it imposed a regulation that put foreign tax law above American tax law. And when it arbitrarily rewrote the Obamacare legislation to enable additional subsidies.
In other words, it deserves to be scapegoated.
But there's a bigger issue, one that Stromberg never even addresses. Why should we give more money to a bureaucracy that manages to find plenty of resources to do bad things?
Never forget, after all, that this is the bureaucracy that – in an odious display of bias – interfered with the electoral process by targeting the President's opponents.
And then awarded bonuses to itself for this corrupt behavior!
Even more outrageous, the Washington Examiner reports today that the IRS still hasn't cleaned up its act.
A series of new revelations Wednesday and Thursday put the Internal Revenue Service back under fire for its alleged efforts to curtail…conservative nonprofits. …the Government Accountability Office uncovered evidence that holes in the tax agency's procedure for selecting nonprofit groups to be audited could allow bias to seep into the process. …lawmakers exposed the lack of safeguards that could prevent IRS officials from going after groups with which they disagreed. Meanwhile, the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch released documents Wednesday that suggested the IRS targeted the donors of certain tax-exempt organizations.
Does this sound like a bureaucracy that deserves more of our money?
If you're still not sure how to answer, consider the fact that the IRS also somehow has enough money in its budget to engage in the disgusting "asset forfeiture" racket.
The Wall Street Journal recently opined on this scandal.
…a pair of new horror stories show why Americans dread any interaction with the vindictive tax man. Khalid Quran owns a small business in Greenville, North Carolina. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1997, opened a convenience store near a local airport, and worked long hours to give his four children more opportunity. After nearly two decades, Mr. Quran had saved $150,000 for retirement. Then in 2014 the IRS seized his bank account because he had made withdrawals that raised red flags under "structuring" laws that require banks to report transactions of more than $10,000. Mr. Quran had made transactions below that limit.
So even though Mr. Quran did nothing illegal and even though it's legal to make deposits of less than $10,000, the IRS stole his money.
Just like money was stolen from the Dehko family.
Here's the other example from the WSJ.
Maryland dairy farmer Randy Sowers…had $62,936.04 seized from his bank account because of the pattern of his deposits, though the money was all legally earned. …Mr. Sowers told his story to a local newspaper…a lawyer for Mr. Sowers asked…"why he is being treated differently." Mr. Cassella replied that the other forfeiture target "did not give an interview to the press." So much for equal treatment under the law.
Yes, you read correctly. If you have the temerity to expose the IRS's reprehensible actions, the government will try to punish you more severely.
Even though the only wrongdoing that ever happened was the IRS's confiscation of money in the first place!
So let's celebrate the fact that the IRS is being subjected to some modest but long-overdue belt-tightening.
Notwithstanding Mr. Stromberg's column, the IRS is not a praiseworthy organization. And many of the bureaucrats at the agency deserve our disdain.

- It has incompetent employees.

Tough women! You won't BELIEVE what two teachers did in the Louisiana theater
They were just planning on enjoying a night out before the new school year, but then the unthinkable happened at the movies.
The shooting at the Grand 16 Theater in Lafayette, Louisiana left three people, including the gunman, dead and nine others wounded.
However, when the lone gunman began shooting, two amazing women summoned up the courage and presence of mind to act.
According to The Advocate, Ali Viator Martin and Jena Legnon Meaux, teachers at Jeanerette Senior High, had gone to the movies together.
As ABC News reports, when the shots rang out one of the teachers heroically jumped in front of a colleague to shield her and was able to pull the fire alarm to alert authorities despite being wounded, according to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"Her friend literally jumped over her, and in her account actually saved her life," Jindal said at a press conference, after he visited with victims at a hospital. "If she hadn't done that … that bullet, she believed it would have hit her in the head."
Incredibly, both teachers were shot, but that was not enough to stop one woman's heroism.
"Even though she was shot in the leg, she had the presence of mind to pull the
fire alarm to help save other lives," Jindal said.
According to Iberia Parish Schools Superintendent Dale Henderson, it was Martin who was able to pull the fire alarm. Both women were shot in the leg and Martin has been released from the hospital while Meaux is expected to be released sometime today.
In the midst of terrible tragedy, it is even more amazing to see such courageous action. These women are true heroes.
Wouldn't it be great if President Obama gave them a Rose Garden reception, just like he did to honor that other hero, Bowe Bergdahl? Riiiight.

Why Christine O'Donnell Is Surging: Three Ads From Tea Party Express
O'Donnell's unexpected last-minute surge in the Delaware GOP Senate primary has caught some people flat-footed. How did this happen? It's simple: For the first time, RINO Mike Castle is being called to account for his record with a series of hard-hitting ads (two on TV and one on radio) from the Tea Party Express:
Let's not overlook everything that everyone has done to help make this a competitive primary. Mark Levin has done yeoman's work and Sarah Palin's endorsement was crucial. But those who kept pushing the same tired bandwagon argument — "Castle can win, O'Donnell can't" — were doing so without considering what might happen when, for the first time in his career, Castle had to defend his record against this kind of conservative ad campaign.

It's fun; it's easy; it could make a difference in how the MA Department of Revenue does business. When Commissioner Amy Pitter learned about the Government Innovation Office's online crowdsourcing tool, iCatalyst, she believed it could bring tax practitioners to the table for a conversation. Now, that conversation is picking up steam.
DOR teamed up with the Massachusetts Society of CPAs to get practitioners to weigh in on their clients' needs as part of the 2014 Small Business Initiative. Through iCatalyst, practitioners can share where DOR can improve its processes by adding their own ideas, commenting on what colleagues are saying, or by simply voting up or down on other people's ideas.
As practitioners contribute to the conversation, iCatalyst's formula allows the most popular ideas to bubble to the top, giving DOR a sense of what the pressing issues are. Commissioner Pitter plans to use the top ideas to bring about changes in the Department.
REGISTRATION for the challenge is simple, and practitioners can login any time to see what's being said. The conversation is only open for a limited time, so JOIN TODAY!

I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations. Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that an exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in what promises to be one of the most important Presidential contests in U.S. history. The principles of Catholic Social Teaching and their application have now entered the 2012 campaign.

NORFOLK, VA. (Catholic Online) - I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. My first experience was complete surprise! The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations.
When Presidential candidate Mitt Romney approached the podium and began to speak, he was warm, sincere, comfortable and confident. In fact, he was, "presidential" in his demeanor. He was introduced by the Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, whose gifts continue to mature in office. I could not help but think that I was listening to Governor McDonnell that I was listening to the next Attorney General of the United States - if Mitt Romney is elected to the presidency in November.
However, it was Romney's introduction of his Vice Presidential selection which wowed the crowd. Here is an excerpt from his remarks: "Today we take another step forward in helping restore the promise of America. As we move forward in this campaign and on to help lead the nation to better days, it is an honor to announce my running mate and the next Vice President of the United States: Paul Ryan."
"Paul Ryan is a leader. His leadership begins with character and values. And Paul is a man of tremendous character, shaped in large part by his early life. Paul's father died when he was in high school. That forced him to grow up earlier than any young man should. But Paul did, with the help of his devoted mother, his brothers and sister, and a supportive community. And as he did, he internalized the virtues and hard-working ethic of the Midwest..."
"He does not demonize his opponents. He understands that honorable people can have honest differences. And he appeals to the better angels of our nature. There are a lot of people in the other party who might disagree with Paul Ryan; I don't know of anyone who doesn't respect his character and judgment."
"Paul is in public life for all the right reasons - not to advance his personal ambitions but to advance the ideals of freedom and justice; and to increase opportunity and prosperity to people of every class and faith, every age and ethnic background. A faithful Catholic, Paul believes in the worth and dignity of every human life. With energy and vision, Paul Ryan has become an intellectual leader of the Republican Party. He understands the fiscal challenges facing America: our exploding deficits and crushing debt - and the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us if we don't change course..."
Governor Romney ended with these words, "Today is a good day for America. And there are better days ahead. Join me in welcoming the next Vice President of the United States - Paul Ryan" and the massive crowd exploded in uproarious and sustained applause. That, I also did not expect.
As my readers know, I supported the candidacy of a friend whom I still believe would be a great President, Rick Santorum. However, when he withdrew from the race, I made clear in my writing that I would do everything I can to keep the current president from winning reelection.
That is because I believe that President Obama is the most Anti-Life President we have ever had. In addition, his hostility toward the Church is increasingly evident. Finally, I believe his policies have been a massive failure on almost every front.
I once again write this article as a private citizen. I am expressing my own personal opinion.
I believe Mitt Romney is correct in his assessment of this gifted man. He is a talented public servant, a truly good family man, a faithful, genuinely Pro-Life Catholic and, as I found out today, much, much more. This man is a tremendous communicator. I have never heard him speak in public and I was truly impressed.
When Governor Romney called Congressman Ryan up to the podium, he mistakenly referred to him as "the next President of the United States". He quickly returned to correct the gaffe. However, as Congressman Ryan spoke, I actually wondered if the mistake may someday prove to have been accurate. Ryan's sincerity, down to earth demeanor, warmth and believability reminded me of a young Ronald Reagan. This man is a gifted communicator.
The first decision made by the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney,choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, was bold and brilliant. I know there are many who will disagree with me.
The spin has already begun, even in Catholic circles. Part of that spin will be to attempt to argue that Paul Ryan, as a Catholic, does not support the social doctrine of his own Church. I contend that assessment is inaccurate. Clearly, he is unquestionably Pro-Life and Pro-Marriage and family. He is also a strong defender of the first freedom, religious freedom.
The argument with Paul Ryan will come over his economic positions. I simply encourage my readers - be careful of the caricatures of Paul Ryan and his positions. Find out for yourself. Listen to the man. Read his well reasoned efforts to apply the social doctrine of the Catholic Church by exercising his own prudential judgment. Compare it to the Social Teaching. You can find it in the Catholic Catechism and compiled in the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Buy the book and study it! Be wary of the self styled 'experts" and make up your own mind.
In June of 2011 then Archbishop (now Cardinal) Timothy Dolan, the President of the US Bishops Conference, and Congressman Paul Ryan exchanged letters which I claimed in an article back then would "most certainly have an impact in the upcoming 2012 Presidential race." I had no idea how accurate my prediction would be.
Now, Paul Ryan is the nominee of the Republican Party for the second highest office in the nation, Vice President. He not only knows Catholic Social Doctrine, he maintains that he actively seeks to integrate the principles it offers into his own public service and the policy proposals he offers.
The Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church confronts what Pope Benedict properly called the "Dictatorship of Relativism" even before he assumed the Papal office. It insists there are unchangeable truths which are revealed by the Natural Law, can be known through the exercise of reason and should inform the social order in every just society.
At the foundation of those truths is the dignity of every human person at every age and stage. To be Pro-Life is NOT to be "single issue" in your political positions; it is about having a world view. It is the dignity of the human person which requires a respect for every human life whether that life be in the first home of the womb, a wheelchair, a jail cell, a hospital room, a hospice, a senior center or a soup kitchen.
Another one of these truths is that marriage is between one man and one woman, intended for life, and ordered toward the bearing and raising of children in the family. Marriage is not some social construct which can be redefined by courts or legislatures. It is the foundation for family and family is the first society, first church, first school, first economy, first government and first mediating institution. The first community which humanizes and civilizes all of us is the family.
Another is that all human persons created in the Image of God are created for relationship and called to human community. We can never fully experience human flourishing outside of social relationships. These relationships are perfective of our human person because we are by nature - and grace - made for these relationships. Catholic Social Thought does not begin with the individual but with the family. The social doctrine affirms our obligation in solidarity to one another. We are our brother/sister's keeper.
The social doctrine rejects a notion of "freedom" which begins and ends with the isolated, atomistic, person as the measure of its application. Authentic human freedom must be exercised within a moral constitution. We will only grow in freedom when we choose what is good and what is true. Otherwise "freedom" becomes a counterfeit and enslaves us, as individuals and as nations.
The social doctrine offers principles to help us order our economies. It does not propose any particular economic theory. It insists that every economic order be at the service of the human person, human freedom, human flourishing and the family. We are to give a love of preference to the poor, recognizing our solidarity with them. However, this call to solidarity is to be applied through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, rejecting all forms of dehumanizing collectivism, either of the left or the right.
The market economy has been affirmed in recent social teaching - when properly understood and morally structured. However, the Catholic Church stood against the materialism of the atheistic Marxist system and now properly cautions Nations which have adopted a form of liberal capitalism of the dangers of "economism" or materialism which promotes the use of persons as products and fails to recognize the value of being over acquiring.
The truths and principles contained within Catholic social doctrine are not merely "religious" positions, in the sense that only religious people need assent to them. They are revealed by the Natural Law and can be known through the exercise of reason. The truths are true for all people and for all time. The Church calls us to offer them as leaven to be worked into the loaf of human culture.
The April 29, 2011 letter from now Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan to Cardinal Dolan can be read here. Cardinal Dolan's response can be read here. Read them both for yourself.
The Congressman's budget proposals were objected to by some, including some faithful Catholics. What made this letter important is that the Congressman explained the rationale behind his proposals within the framework of a sincere effort to apply the principles found within Catholic Social Thought. He cited the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church throughout the letter referring to both the obligation of solidarity and its application in light of the principle of subsidiarity.
Archbishop Dolan's response began with these words: "Thank you for your kind and enlightening letter of April 29, 2011. I deeply appreciate your letter's assurances of your continued attention to the guidance of Catholic social justice in the current delicate budget considerations in Congress. As you allude to in your letter, the budget is not just about numbers. It reflects the very values of our nation. As many religious leaders have commented, budgets are moral statements."
"As is so clear from your correspondence, the light of our faith - anchored in the Bible, the tradition of the Church, and the Natural Law - can help illumine and guide solid American constitutional wisdom. Thus I commend your letter's attention to the important values of fiscal responsibility; sensitivity to the foundational role of the family; the primacy of the dignity of the human person and the protection of all human life; a concrete solicitude for the poor and the vulnerable, especially those who are hungry and homeless, without work or in poverty; and putting into practice the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity, here at home and internationally within the context of a commitment to the common good shared by government and other mediating institutions alike."
I asked in an article I wrote back then whether that exchange of letters between Paul Ryan and now Cardinal Dolan signaled the liberation of Catholic Social Thought from some who seek to use it as a proof text for their own political agendas. Often, that has meant opposition from those who would be considered "on the left" in contemporary political parlance. Sadly, too often those who might be considered "on the right", have simply ignored it.
The principles contained with Catholic Social thought require the exercise of prudential judgment in their application. Agree or disagree with Paul Ryan's exercise of his prudential judgment - and his proposed legislative solutions to the current fiscal crisis- he did exactly what a Catholic in public service should do with the Social Doctrine of the Church.
Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that the exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in what promises to be one of the most important Presidential contests in U.S. history. The principles of Catholic Social Teaching and their application have now entered the 2012 campaign.

The Voice fails to mention the key facts here, so it's impossible to assess whether this approach is a good idea -
- what was the projected time and cost to get from SF to LA originally as told to voters?
- assuming they do this blended approach with electrified Caltrain, what is the new estimated time & cost to get from SF to LA?
My understanding is that the original projections - used to convince people to vote for this - was a very fast trip at a low cost, and that the current estimate is that it will be much slower and cost much more.
And if that is true - how much slower (total time SF-LA) will it be due to the blended approach? And how much additional cost due to the blended approach?

Scene photos: Douglas County home heavily damaged by fire
Firefighters from at least three area departments were called to respond on a report of a structure fire in Eudora.
The call was dispatched around 11:40 p.m. at 2218 Quail Court. The address is on the south side of Kansas Highway 10, just east of Eudora High School.
Law Enforcement arrived on the scene to report the east side of the structure was heavily involved in fire. Fire crews arrived to report heavy flames visible from the south and east sides of the two story home.
The residents of the home told emergency crews that everyone was out of the home safely.
As of 12:10 a.m., firefighters report the roof of the home is nearly fully engulfed. Crews remain inside the home battling the flames from the second story.
Just before 1 a.m., a Fire Safety Officer reported a partial roof collapse. Incident command made radio contact with each firefighter team on the inside of the structure. All crews were clear of the collapse area and continue to put water on the fire.
The fire was reported to be "under control" at 1:07 a.m.. Dispatchers report that crews were on scene for one hour 20 minutes before the fire was brought under control.
Neighbors on one side of the home were evacuated as a precaution. No injuries were reported.
Firefighters from the City of Eudora, Eudora Township Fire and Wakarusa Township Fire are all on the scene.

Teen must undergo chemotherapy against religious beliefs, judge rules
A Brown County District Court judge ruled today that a 13-year-old Minnesota teen must undergo chemotherapy treatment for cancer despite his family's refusal due to their religious beliefs.
The family opted out of chemotherapy treatment for their son's Hodgkin's lymphoma because of religious beliefs, but a Brown County attorney asked the judge to force the treatment to save him. The case has brought out a slew of alternative medicine advocates who support the family's decision. Doctors say Daniel Hauser, 13, would have a 90 percent chance of survival with chemo treatment and a 95 percent chance of dying without it.
The family is part of the Nemenhah, an American Indian religious organization. The family does not claim to be Indian.
More from the Pioneer Press:
Judge John Rodenberg said in a 60-page ruling that there is overwhelming medical evidence that the boy, Daniel Hauser, will most likely live if he receives the treatment and die if he doesn't.
The county proved "a compelling state interest in the life and welfare of Daniel sufficient to override the fundamental constitutional rights of both the parents and Daniel to the free exercise of religion and the due process right of the parents to direct the religious and other upbringing of their child," the judge ruled.
Daniel stated in an initial court filing that he was a "medicine man" in the Nemenhah and that he was being a living example to others by refusing the chemotherapy. A key question -- both in court and in the public debate that enveloped the case -- was whether Daniel was making his own decision or was being influenced by his parents' beliefs.
A turn in the trial came Saturday when an attorney appointed by the court to represent Daniel's interests told the judge that he doubted the "genuineness" of Daniel's spiritual beliefs. The attorney, Thomas Sinas, said this doubt followed Daniel's closed-door testimony to the judge earlier that day.

Romney Must Debate Big Issues
Mitt Romney must make Wednesday night's debate about the basic issues.
Do you want more government or less?
More spending or less?
More regulation or less?
More welfare or less?
More power for teachers unions or less?
More taxes or less?
Less oil drilling or more?
On these key issues, America agrees with the Republican Party. Romney needs to drill down to these core questions and put them into play.
Right now, the presidential race is being fought out about micro-issues like who paid what in taxes or who has his bank account where. Romney needs to make this election about the big things, clearing away the small bore underbrush of negatives and articulating the fundamental difference between the parties and the candidates.
In August, Gallup asked voters if they wanted the government to "leave them alone" or "lend them a hand." Voters broke 54-35 in favor of being left alone. If that polarization becomes the key metric of the campaign, Romney will win.
But to win, Romney needs to clear away the negatives.
Bill Clinton and I used to share a proverb: Never sleep under the same roof with an unanswered negative. Always, always, always, always answer.
For some reason, Romney has refused to answer the negatives Barack Obama has heaped upon his head month after month. He calls Romney a tax cheat who hates the poor, can't wait to destroy Medicare and only cares about the rich.
This pounding has taken a severe toll on Romney's image. He is now underwater (i.e. with more unfavorables than favorables).
There are truly large numbers of voters who want, heart and soul, to vote against Barack Obama. They know the economy is falling apart. They realize that the debt has made things worse. They agree that higher taxes and more regulation is the wrong way to go. They see now the naivet' and futility of Obama's outreach to the Muslim world.
But the steady drumbeat of Obama's unanswered negative ads have so eroded Romney's image that these voters remain undecided. Obama's paid negative ads have not cut a broad swath, but they have tipped enough anti-Obama voters into the undecided column that they are now making the difference.
In ninety minutes on Wednesday evening, Mitt Romney can put this all behind him and lay the basis for a victory next month. All he has to do is to show that he is not the bloodthirsty monster Obama depicts in his commercials.
He can use the debates the way he used his convention — to rebut the charges that he destroyed jobs at Bain Capital. This theme, which dominated Obama's entire spring campaign, was zeroed out by the Republican Convention, and the attack has not reared its head since.
Now it is time for Mitt to answer the charges that have emerged since then. He cannot permit his candidacy to be forced so deep underwater that it drowns beneath the waves of unanswered negatives.
–He needs to differentiate those who have earned their entitlement checks — like Social Security, Medicare or Veterans benefits — from those who choose not to work but to live off food stamps, welfare, Medicaid and subsidized housing instead. All 47 percenters are not created equal.
–He must explain that he paid all the taxes he owed — and no American does more or should do less — and that he gave vast sums to charity showing a massive compassion. He needs to spell out some of his charitable activities so we get a sense of his heart not just his head.
–He's got to underscore that he will not end Medicare but will always have the program as we now know it as an option for the elderly.
Just as Reagan showed voters in 1980 that he was not the caricature Carter had made him out to be, so Romney must show his real face to the voters. Once the negatives are cleared and the big issues brought into play, victory will follow.
