Don't doom GOP's chance to win in 2012

So Obama could lose if -- and here's the big if -- Republicans do not blow the opportunity by presenting themselves as Medicare-annihilating racist maniacs... Tea Party conservatives complain that Republicans who advocate restraint, responsibility and moderation do so in order to be nice to Obama. That's utterly upside down. Restraint, responsibility and moderation are indispensable to the defeat of President Obama. It is Tea Party conservatism itself that is Obama's last, best hope for a second term.

So I guess the "Medicare-annihilating racist maniacs" should have stayed home during the 2010 November Elections, and the Country would be so much better off. Frum should run for President himself if he thinks he has the magic formula.

What would we do without David Frum’s advice?
Oh yeah! Elect conservatives and get the country back on track.

Restraint, responsibility and moderation are indispensable to the defeat of President Obama. We tried it your way in 2008, Frum. We did it our way in 2010.
The results speak for themselves.

[if] Republicans do not blow the opportunity by presenting themselves as Medicare-annihilating racist maniacs... Typical CNN reporting, planting the mental seeds of what the reader is supposed to think without letting them form their own opinion.

It's that they allow the Democrats to present them that way without hitting back.
I think Palin, Cain and Bachmann would not allow that to happen. I'm not so sure about the other Republican candidates.

"Frum should run for President himself if he thinks he has the magic formula." How does a Canadian run for president of the United States, pray tell?

And it is here that the mealy-mouthed viper's slip shows most clearly. Frum is less concerned with beating O'Bunga and more concerned with the powers that be remaining the powers that will continue to be.
Frum's spot at the trough is secure with the power structure aligned as it is now. Any shakeup of the current configuration might threaten his access, not to mention his credibility.
He goes out the door with the rest of the vermin.

Another liberal "worried" about the GOP, so they're giving friendly advice (because they love the GOP so much and want to see it do well--NOT!)
When you hear this kind of advice, you're gut should tell you to do the exact opposite.

Frum is simply a Marxist mole working for the MSM Marxists. Instead of posing as a lunatic Leftist (olberdick, Matthews), he poses as the “concerned” moderate Republican. He weakens the resolve of conservatives through the propaganda of subterfuge. His mission is to disillusion the conservative base which will guarantee another Leftist victory.

Don't doom GOP's chance to win in 2012
If the GOP isn't capable of offering something better than just a watered-down version of Obama, the GOP's chance in 2012 should be doomed.
To: Windy City Conservative
David Frum was right on about McCain being the way to win the last election, right up until he voted for Obama.

This Frum mindset is spreading throughout the Republican voting bloc. People are so fearful of a 2nd Obama Term that they would sacrifice their first born, let alone conservative principles, in hopes of defeating him in 2012. They are twisting themselves into a pretzle and will be walking on egg shells throughout the campaign, and the general election will be Obama vs. Unoffensive, Unprincipled, Undefined, Frightened Robot. I wonder who will win?

Frum owes the American public BIGTIME.
Frum and Romney attacking Gov. Palin ---- for Obama in 2008
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."
David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."
David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician
I will support him without qualm."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off
.hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Frum is the ultimate Canadian embarassment (even more than Celine Dion!). Please keep him.
To: Windy City Conservative
Actually, the dems are going to run as newcomers and not as incumbants.
That is a losing strategery and will be an absolute joy to play with during the campaign.
Hopey Change and the merry Marxists can pretend they aren’t there, but running against Bush is going to be a hoot.
