Romney still light on specifics - Video on NBCNews.com

Dude. Just watch her eyes. WTF.
She's normal until she starts to talk.

Nobody on the right wants to give specifics on balancing the budget as the only way to do it is to either starve sick seniors or raise some taxes. They don't want to expose the stupidity of their own policies to the emotional morons that make up the bulk of their party.

Those on the right keep saying Obama can't run on his record.

Seeing that Romney raised taxes and fees (and to be fair, cut spending) to balance the budget in MA, can he run on his?

Is this the best you can do? You felt compelled to start a thread on someone's relatively normal eyes?

FAIL.

Uhh...many on the left are saying it too.

And did you ever stop to consider why the Obama campaign strategy revolves around attacking Romney?

The election is mainly about the economy and jobs. The population of MA grew by about 25,000 people while Romney was governor yet the state added about 50,000 jobs and UE in the state was 4.6% when he left office. The US population has grown by over 7 million people since Obama has been president yet there has been a net loss in jobs. UE in the US is over 8% and would be over 11% if so many people hadn't dropped out of the labor force.

As far as deficits, Romney eliminated the MA budget deficit and has experience cutting costs in the private sector as well. The deficit and debt has not only exploded under Obama, but Obama has no plan to even eventually eliminate the deficit...ever.

He enacted quite a few tax cuts in MA. He closed loopholes. IMO, closing loopholes does not count as a tax increase. It could be argued that it does but, regardless, he cut taxes as well. Yes, he did raise fees.

You don't know what excessive blinking means when someone starts to talk about something?
Body. Language. You should try learning it some time. It's fascinating. Excessive eye blinking when asked about an issue can mean the person is under stress or lying or just generally uncomfortable about the topic being discussed.

As you plainly saw when you watched the video. She's blinking almost as fast as is possible. Except when she isn't talking about his "plan." Then, she's not blinking very much at all. WEIRD Eh?>
