Just a reminder of how smart this "CEO/MBA Type" candidate was:

The Romney campaign made other, and larger, mistakes. Its biggest seems to be its decision to wave away Team Obama’s massive expenditures on offices and staff. It assumed that the Obama campaign was wasting money. The Globe quotes Tagg Romney:

“We were looking at all the money they were spending in the primary and we were thinking ‘what are they spending all their money on? They’re wasting a lot of money.’ They weren’t. They were paying staffers in Florida” and elsewhere.

The Obama campaign had 3,000 staffers nationwide, leading an army of volunteers that numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Indeed, there were more than 700 paid staffers in Florida alone, which itself dwarfed the 500 staffers employed by Team Romney nationwide.

I was responding to the idea that Obama had more short term employees than Romney.

You think short-term jobs are bad? No jobs would be better?

We knew all along that Ron Paul was much smarter than Romney.

Except Romney beat the crap out of Paul.

That's because the GOP establishment sold a rotten bill of goods, when in fact, Romney was an idiot.

Ron Paul was and is an deluded idiot on the extreme fringe, with "ideals" like the gold standard that don't have chance in a billion.

In most of US history we were on the gold or silver standard, or both. Much better odds than one in a billion. As recently as 1971 we were on the gold standard. U are calling JFK, Eisenhower, LBJ, Truman and FDR nuts.

"The total value of all gold ever mined would exceed US$10.1 trillion at that valuation"

The US annual GDP is $13T, exceeding "all gold ever mined"

1) you forgot other precious metals including solver and platinum.

2) the money supply increases by leveraging.

3) gold and silver will be worth more if officially recognized an official monetary unit, because of increased demand.

4) you claim the gold standard won't work, but the US was on the gold standard until 1971.

In most of US history, we were an agrarian society. Not going back to that, either.

We were on the gold standard during the days of Truman, Eisenhower, and JFK, and we had a a great economy and were on the gold standard.
