Well. That works both ways. I’ve gone completely and utterly negative. I don’t give a crap about diversity, hyphenation, gender politics, pussy RINOs or any of that worthless dogma.

Obviously, they at The United States Library of Congress read everything in ‘The Obama File’ and still accepted it- every sordid detail of Obama’s life.

Obama started negative and more negative as the campaign progressed. We can’t do that, the “news” media would attack us as being negative, but they always give the Dems a pass. We need to go after the media.
You are correct. The entire premise of the RNC efforts was incorrect. They failed to tie the pain to Obama. He successfully pushed all blame off the the GOP and past presidents. Shameful. Moreso than the presidential results are the senate results. The presidential campaign was close Should have been won but not a major beating like 2008. The senate races were the biggest catastrophe I can remember in politics. We were a lock to pick up 4-5 seats and lost seats. Shameful and evidence of the failed messaging this year.
Romney’s campaign was unimaginative and detail focused. He provided no vision of the America he wanted to achieve.
Simply focusing on particular issues and failings of the incumbent never works. You need to convey a goal and convince people that what your proposals will achieve that goal.
I don’t doubt that there was plenty of fraud in this election, but a coherent vision could have overwhelmed it.
Romney and the RNC didn’t mind going negative against Conservatives in the Primaries, or the General Election, did they? That’s the last time I will be shamed into voting for a rino GOP candidate for POTUS. gag me.
Then the GOP went limp - after the media demonized Lee Atwater the GOP has been too frightened to use the weapons at their disposal.
I don’t hold back at all.
The GOP holds back, and it gets its ass routinely kicked.
And as soon as it gets its ass kicked, it doubles down on the strategy that just got its ass kicked.
It’s time for drastic action, it’s time for another party altogether, or we are going to get our asses kicked again.
And to those who say oh if we form a third party, we are going to get our asses kicked...well, I’m used to it by now, so I’m not afraid to try something new.
Because we are suckers!! We believe if we play nice, and play by the rules we will over come. The libtards do not care about rules, they only care about gaining power and control no matter the means. Read Saul Alinsky to understand there are no rules. When you have no moral compass, there is no need for rules.
Ayn Rand wrote about the media, and their power in “Fountain Head”, and that was in 1935 or there about.
Sadly, just like many situations when doing repairs, you must complete the break, before the repair can be successful.

Romney needed to run an ad of those pictures of 0bama with his feet up on our furniture in the Whitehouse.....didn’t need to say a word, just the graphics, but nooooo...., that would be racist.
Does it conflict with our principles? I don’t know.
Obama team played dirty, they knew a dirty election game would made many conservatives stay at home, and it happened.
Republicans missed the boat. They had so much ammunition for anti Obama commericials and they failed to produce them. They should have exposed his lies. Here are just two of my thoughts for commercials:
“Gas has nearly tripled under the Obama administration. Has your salary? Thats if you still have a job. Under the Obama adminsitration he has ceased our domestic oil exploration yet he gave Brazil 3 billion dollars of your money for oil exploration off their coast”
“One of the critical areas to help the poor get out of poverty is to get a good education. The Obama administration has shut down the school voucher system in the Washington DC area. This would have allowed inner city children to go to a school of their choice rather than be stuck in a crime infested school system”
The MSM of course would go ballistic. But, it doesn't matter what the GOP does, the press goes ballistic. Might as well hammer a message that just might get watched and get people thinking.
Imagine if we ran ads with Oboma saying energy costs were going to skyrocket because he was shutting down coal - in Pa, the coal state!
How about Oboma telling the communist SEIU single payer health care was the target, bur Obomcare was just the beginning?
All kinds of stuff like this was taped. It was right there. All the RNC had to do was use it.
I don't think we have a two party system anymore. I think the Repubs and Dems play good cop/bad cop, and pretend there's a real difference. When Repubs were in charge, they did NOTHING to turn back the tsunami of socialism. In fact, they spent and added more. America lost,but both parties in Wa. gained more power.
The politicians on both sides like their mansions, limousines, fine wines and caviar. As long as us tax slaves pay for it, why do anything to stop it?
When the SHTF, they can just hop into their slave purchased airplanes and flee the country until it's over. They can always come back later and remind us how much they were there for us.
everyone says they don’t like the negative ads...that they won’t vote for the guy who does it...yet the results show differently. I say use every bit of ammo in our arsenal. Including taking out the mainstream media and starting an organization for the GOP that monitors the polls for voter fraud. we also need to focus on somehow getting the youth vote. I would rather be the party that offers free college educations thus getting the youth vote than the party that loses and ends up paying taxes to the welfare rats.
The negative worked because Romney wasn’t already a well-defined positive. They defined him. That wouldn’t work as well in reverse because Obama was already a given. We needed someone more likable out of he gate than Mitt the plutocrat. Unfortunately the Republican field sucked badly, again this lectin cycle.
Romney should have asked Obama Claus why he was using a CT SS#.
Stop fooling yourself.

Because most of our alleged side is on their side. Deals struck having to do with what’s good for America or it’s voters.
At the professional level of politics, negative attacks are poll tested for their effectiveness and appeal to key political demographics. My guess is that the Obama-is-a-commie line of attack would not have gotten even that far because it would risk a possible backlash from core Obama supporters and due to the broad principle that incumbents are judged by the public at large on the basis of their record in office, not their life before attaining office.
