We've all seen the now famous video of Mitt Romney saying "Cut Back On Government" and then identifying that government we need to cut back on as "Police, Firemen and Teachers".

It seems to me this is not an "effective campaign strategy". Especially with headlines about terrorists shooting up movie theaters and attacking a religious site. I would think Americans want MORE Police.

And I cant think of a parent that would say I would like my teacher to be in a room with a lot of kids and only one teacher, Morris continued. So Im wondering where this research comes from.
That from a Philadelphia teacher. Romney's quick response:
All the talk about we need smaller classroom size thats promoted by the teachers unions to hire more teachers, he said.

And worst of all:

LESS FIREFIGHTERS????
Honestly, I don't know what to say.
------------------------------------------------
So the question is, "Is this really a winning strategy"?
I know USMB Republicans rush to defend Mitt and say his words were taken out of context OR they actually believe we need LESS Police, Firmen and Teachers.
I think the real problem for the right wing is this is the most complex country on earth, technologically and socially, at a time when the world is the most complex, and they want a tiny government that can't do anything. The problem is that such small thinking leaves the country open to attack in ways other than military. Cyber terrorism, trade wars, education, science. Just when we need a complex and flexible government, they want to tear down ours and replace it with "every man for himself". And the ridiculous chant of "you need government to do it for you", when the reality is, "There are some things only government can do", but Republicans simply can't imagine what they are. I'm guessing they are too busy imagining the President is a Kenyan Mau Mau Marxist.
