As head of the party and nominal leader of the country for the last six years, it is relevant to bring up Obama and any candidate's plan to support or oppose his agenda.

Bringing up the unelected Koch brothers in a political contest is just silly. They legally give significant money to candidates and causes, just like a George Soros, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey, unions, etc.

Comparing the two as campaign issues is just nonsense, worthy of a liberal-stacked MSNBC panel.

Equating the Koch Brothers with Osama Obama is very irresponsible for many reasons.But running a campaign whose theme is “a vote for my opponent is a vote for Obama’s disgraceful policies” is absolutely reasonable...and truthful when referring to a Rat.

The end of the matter:

Advocating that no one should be tied in with anyone ends hypocrisy on this matter.

Republicans just wanting Repubs engaging in the tactic of trying to tie in anyone they can with anyone they can is no better than Dems trying to do the same.

“All politics is local” was not an observation by Tip O’Neill. It was a strategy. When all politics is local, it becomes a matter of who brings home the most pork, which always favors Democrats and liberals.

Nationalizing campaigns negates that tactic, and, while it doesn’t always favor Republicans, it didn’t in 2006, it does if the Republicans deploy the right tactics and hit on the right themes, as they did in 1994.

Depends on who wins in November, doesn’t it? If successful, the strategy will be lauded and imitated.
