Will China Bashing Cost Mitt Romney The Election?


Last night, I did a double take when I thought I heard Romney again- BASHING China.  I just could not believe it. I believe I also heard him state (in a nut shell) he would shut China down. Was I mistaken?

I'm not sure but as I see it, CHINA has us gripped (Yes, the US of A) and we have allowed it for so long that we are in MAJOR debt to them. Not only have we allow ourselves to become DEPENDENT on their RICE, we are very heavily DEPENDENT on their Soy products not to mention Wal-Mart!!!!!!!  

BTW, and let us NOT leave out Thailand and Japan.

It was in that lil twinkling of a moment that I knew that beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama will win for a second term.  Isn't it far better that we remain friends with countries we OWE more than the national debt too then to declare a war that is uncalled for?

And I'd also like to add that before you BASH a county that we are dependent on AND open your mouth in an attempt to DIS-credit a sitting administration IN PUBLIC, you should check your OWN labels’. 

The Republican nominee, who has noticeably cranked up his anti-China rhetoric of late, really doesn't know what he’s referring to - 
Here is the circumstantial evidence the China bashing is hurting Romney’s appeal. 

Governor Mitt Romney’s campaign for President made a potentially fatal error on September 13th by moving to the left of President Barack Obama on the emotional issue of trade with China.  On that day, the Romney campaign released a major press release attacking Obama for not labeling China a “currency manipulator.”  Claiming China is cheating, Romney is promising the American people he will seek to force the Chinese to allow the dollar to fall in value relative to the Chinese Yuan.

Last January, it was warned that Romney’s support for a weak dollar policy relative to China would prove to be the economic Achilles Heel of his campaign.  And, unless he changes course that appears to be exactly what is happening.

Ever since the Romney campaign’s China bashing initiative, the momentum has shifted to President Barack Obama.  Within six days, Michigan, then Wisconsin went from “toss up” to “lean Obama” according to the Real Clear Politics (RCP) electoral map.  And, in RCP’s latest no toss-up results, President Obama now is expected to roll up a 347 to 191 majority in the Electoral College by winning all of the swing states. According to Intrade, odds of President Obama being re-elected have shot up about 10 percentage points to 70%. Moreover, the shift in favor of Obama came at a time when the latest economic data point to continued slow economic growth and high unemployment, unrest roils the Middle East and anti-Americanism is on the rise throughout the Muslim world, and the Obama Administration appears ill prepared to defend its diplomats, embassies or America’s interests and ideals.

It is in the swing states that voters have been most exposed to the Romney focus on China bashing as his key policy to create 12 million new jobs.
Greater insight is provided by a poll commissioned by the Ohio Newspaper Organization of 861 likely voters in Ohio conducted between September 13 and 18.

As reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer that poll showed Obama leading Romney 51% to 46% (margin of error +/-3.3%).

The single most important issue:  the economy.  According to Eric Rademacher, co-director of by the University of Cincinnati’s Institute for Policy Research which conducted the poll, 95% of those who said Romney would do best on the economy choose him, while 96% of those who said Obama would do best on the economy pick Obama.

On the critical issue of who can be trusted to improve economic conditions, Obama leads Romney 49% to 44%.  That is an extra-ordinary turn-around from a Rasmussen national poll on September 13th which showed Romney ahead of Obama on this crucial question, 50% to 43%.

Well, the last official debate will occur next Monday and will be centered on Foreign Policy. 

I just simply ask that when Asia comes to kick Ares, they DO NOT mistake all of America for Mitt Romney and Arizona.  

Good (and I do mean)grief.
