On Fox: Dems hammer Romney's "crimes," Romney smiles and nods
Fox News Channel (live) | 7/15/12

Posted on 07/15/2012 8:44:36 AM PDT by pabianice

On Fox News Channel... a seemingly endless parade of Obamaites declaring that Romney is a criminal/felon for hiding his money in overseas banks, has run Bain as a criminal enterprise that killed and maimed thousands (and he may still be running it in secret!), that he is hiding his income tax returns (another crime, according to Libs), and on and on. When Romney is seen, he smiles and nods and gently declares that the attacks are "without merit" and "false" -- disclaimers that are immediately forgotten by the voters.

Is it just me or is Romney busy McCaining this election? Karl Rove, also on Fox, is explaining that this is exactly what Romney should be doing. I am flummoxed. Can anyone explain Romney's "strategy," (if you can call it that).

Obama has a piss poor record and is desperately trying to get Romney into a mudslinging battle to distract the voters.

Obama knows that he has the ultimate megaphone in the MSM so that any points he scores will be recycled endlessly by the media and any points that Romney scores will be ignored.

Romney needs to stick to his vision for the future and let the superpacs expose Obama's failures.

0bama’s group will make chit up just like with W. And with Palin.

After all, if 0bama loses, they’re going to get visits from the money and power that brought them to DC anyway, and 0bama will have to hide out in his new bunker below the White House.

Romney needs Sarah’s attack plan right now. Too bad he was so concerned with attacking her that he can’t use her expertise.

Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule.

As for a VP, Romney needs to go West.

Confucius say: Insult leads to injury.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
- Sun Tzu, the Art of War

“The art of using troops is this:
......When ten to the enemy’s one, surround him;
......When five times his strength, attack him;
......If double his strength, divide him;
......If equally matched you may engage him;
......If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;
......And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him,
..........for a small force is but booty for one more powerful.”
- Sun Tzu, the Art Of War

The wind makes a great deal of noise at times. No matter how loud it gets; it is still without meaning. The only transparent projection Obama has failed to turn into an attack is that Romney is half black and half white.

Rope a dope doesn’t work in politics when the narrative is being set by the opposition. As everyone knows about rope a dope, don’t you think the Dems know this as well and already have the next narrative all ready polished off and waiting in the wings?

In the mean time, the narrative is set, end of story. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

0bots/Soros/Axelrod/Plouffe people are using the saturation technique used with Bush.....

Remember? Every dam day, it was......
stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid
failure, failure, failure, failure
death, death, death, death
wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

It worked with many, didn’t it.

It needsto be remembered that Romney can’t use any of his campaign money until after he is officially the nominee. Right now he is limited to primary campaign money.

it worked because the economy collapsed at the end of Bush’s term....the economy is in worse shape now- it’ll have minimum impact this time around...

Obama has outspent Romney 4 to 1 yet he is only able to hold onto a tie according to biased polls. The strategy that Romney & Co. is employing is working as planned. Be patient....

I can't. The only reply that I could think of would be to say...
Do you see me in handcuffs? Am I behind bars?

Where's the arrest?

Rope a dope only works if you don’t get KO’d while on the ropes.

As I type these words, there's an anti-Romney ad on the boob tube.

What are they (the Dems) going to do? They're doing what they've always done. Characterize the Republican as a rich, greedy b..... who (sniff, sniff, sob) just doesn't care for the poor and unfortunate. And oppressed. Why I bet Romney doesn't even have a SUPPORT DIVERSITY! sign in his office. The Dems are grasping for straws, and against a bland candidate like the Mittster, they've going back in the archive and simply doing what they've always done.

Be patient....

It won't get any worse than this; said the Jewish grandfather to his grandchildren as the doors were locked behind them in the cattle cars.

We got a RINO with McCain.

They told us to hold on, be patient.

McCain suspends his campaign for the economic summit and didn't say a word and let Obama set the agenda and narrative in that meeting.

They told us to hold on, be patient.

Then his own campaign leeches set into motion the narrative that Palin was stupid and not qualified.

They told us to hold on, be patient.

A man who will not defend his honer, has none to defend.

So now we have another GOPe RINO to hold our hopes on that this country shall not perish from this earth and you say;

Hold on, be patient.

Soon the GOPe will decry those who refuse to publicly support this ruse, and we say;

Hold on, be patient.
