Mitt Romney Adviser: 'Real Americans' Don't Care About Candidate's Afghanistan Policy
A senior adviser to Mitt Romney declined to provide more specific details on the presumptive GOP nominee's plan for Afghanistan on Thursday, saying it was a distraction from what "real Americans want to talk about."
The Romney campaign has said the former Massachusetts governor "supports the 2014 timetable as a realistic timetable and a residual force post-2014" in Afghanistan, but he would not have announced the withdrawal timeline publicly, as President Barack Obama did. But as Josh Rogin at The Cable notes, "details remain sketchy" on what Romney would do beyond the timeline.
Top senators are equally flummoxed. None of them who talked to Rogin were able to explain what Romney's policy was.

"Real Americans" don't want to talk about a war that's been involving hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens?
He should have left off the word "real". I guarantee you Americans are more concerned about the economy than war in the Middle East.
The seventh seal is broken, and the Apocalypse must truly be upon us, as this is the second day in a row I actually agree with C.Puffs. The simple fact is, the majority of the general public just doesn't care, as it doesn't directly affect their day to day lives.Originally Posted by C.Puffs
I'd say he's right. Rank and File Americans already were told along with the Taliban when we are leaving by Obama. 12 million are unemployed thats higher priority to most Americans.
So your not a Real American if your concerned about military affairs overseas, how odd. Not that Romney talks much about the economy anyways.
Most of the support/interest in the war wore off years ago.
Would it be wrong of a candidate to say,"My plan for XXXXX is this," and lay it out? Then add, "However, I don't have all the facts because much of what helps formulate a strategic plan comes from information I haven't had access to yet, so my plan is subject to change based on facts and intelligence I don't have access to."
Maybe he don't but Obama talks much about economy but the economy has not been improved!
A politician admit they don't have all the facts, we know that's never going to happen.
Most Americans have more pressing concerns, that is true, but who are the "Real" Americans? Where do I have to live in order to be "real"? Is there a certain look? A certain way to talk? I like how Republican politicians love themselves some "real" Americans. Who are those people?
Stupid gaffe, will be corrected/spun.
