Romney: The 'Fawlty Towers' candidate

Can you imagine the furor on the Right if President Obama failed to mention our troops in harms way in his national convention speech?  

Wrote conservative commentator William Kristol about Romney's acceptance speech at the GOP convention:

Leave aside the question of the political wisdom of Romney's silence, and the opportunities it opens up for President Obama next week. What about the civic propriety of a presidential nominee failing even to mention, in his acceptance speech, a war we're fighting and our young men and women who are fighting it?

We can call Romney the "Fawlty Towers" candidate.  Motto: "Don't mention the war!"  Romney also failed to mention illegal immigration or his policy stance.  Does he really think he can sneak his way into the White House without taking a stand on these issues that Americans care about?
