Making Soup

It’s the time of year when we think about our families, about getting together and nurturing one other. The Campbell Soup Company recommends that we make an old-fashioned “M'm! M'm! Good!” meal. 

Great idea.   Prepare a “hearty” healthful soup.  Choose the ingredients that you believe are best.  Invite everyone over.    

Should you expect to make a perfect soup that perfectly satisfies the entire gang?  Probably not.  After dinner, open up to the family’s constructive criticism and you will improve your meal for future occasions.   They will appreciate your effort and, over time, the soup will improve progressively.  In any case, what you make will be immeasurably better than what you would get at the local fast food establishment.

Right now Mitt Romney is the soup maker.  He has presented ideas for your consumption.  At this point, you might be especially vulnerable to the Obama people’s propaganda claiming that Barack used Romney’s Massachusetts’s plan as a template for his own health program.  They, of course, are saying that in an attempt to derail the Romney campaign because they are scared stiff about running against him.

There may be some Romney ingredients that you do not like, but Romney has been a collaborator.  He fashioned his health program in cooperation with the citizens of his state and with the Republican and Democrat legislators in order to make a “soup” healthful and palatable enough for the majority.  Obama made his soup in such total isolation that Nancy Pelosi told us that we needed to pass it before anyone could understand what was being force-fed to us.   The Obama plan was not the Romney plan.  Whatever Obama took from Romney was peppered  with artificial and toxic ingredients.  It was not the dish that Mitt Romney had created.

Mitt Romney presents our best opportunity to unseat Barack Obama.  In addition to being a good cook, he has the personality necessary to lead.  Romney has proven himself in his marriage, in his businesses, and in his conduct in government.  Forget about the cracks regarding his “perfect hair” and wealth.  Judge him by what he has done over an entire lifetime.  Compare that with the Obama personality, the Obama style, and the Obama “accomplishments.”  Then decide whose soup you want to sup over the next four years.
