Obama seems to be launching these attacks against Republicans on a daily basis and one can expect them to intensify as we approach the election. The Republicans need to set up a war room response organization to neutralize these blasts from the bully pulpit.

Normally this is done by the head of the opposition party but that's what the primary process is about, to identify that person. Until a nominee is selected or it becomes very clear who the nominee will be, the field is open for an ambitious candidate. A clever secondary level Republican presidential hopeful would take up that role himself and respond daily to the President hoping to get national publicity. It looked as though Gov. Perry might be taking that job and even Mitt Romney has begun to emerge from his hibernation to take on the president.

Perry's early success in the polls coupled with his jabs at Obama suggests that this might well be a productive avenue along which a candidate could advance his cause. Since Perry and Romney are the consensus front-runners at this point, they may wish to play it conservatively and that would open the opportunity for a Bachmann or a Cain. Gingrich is a natural for the job and Santorum desperately needs the publicity.

Whoever does it, it should be done with satire and in sound bites. Make Obama pay every day.

..... The Republican party, as a national organization, apparently STILL (IMHO) has failed to develop and implemented any sort of coherent strategy to effectively vie for control of the national political narrative.

They apparently have not yet read the chapter on “propaganda” in the new manual of American political discourse.

Yea, look how well it worked for Trump. He rocketed up in the polls when he started taking on 0 daily.

The GOP Candidate also needs to completely ignore all the GOP Establishment politicians who will come out of the woodwork whining about "alienating the independents". That is nonsense

McCain tried playing nice with the 0 wrecking machine in 2008 and it destroyed his candidacy.

Conservatives and Republicans will not beat the Progressive media machine by playing nice.
