Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.
"We're hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks" personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of Tarrance Group, a Republican polling firm, said on the call. "There's a lot of people who feel sorry for him."
Recent polling data indicates that while the president still suffers significantly low job approval ratings, voters still give "high approval" to Obama personally, Thompson said.
Voters "don't think he's an evil man who's out to change the United States" for the worse--even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should "exercise some caution" when talking about the president personally.

You've inspired a new tagline ...
Exactamundo. It’s the REPUBs’s why can’t we all be sugary sweet strategy to being in the perpetual minority of government control.
BS. Look how popular Donald Trump became over night when he took it straight to Obama. These republicans are starting to really pi** me off.
Yep, lots a talk.
I do think we'll have more crimes because of the economy and because some people now think they can get away with it, just because...
Also we have the drug cartels to deal with because our government don't do they're job and I wonder if ANYONE that becomes president WILL do their job protecting us. We don't have anyone that will protect us anymore.
A private call, that the lackluster TMZ like Yahoo News gets invited to. WTF? I hope the RNC goes bankrupt someday; they don’t deserve a dime.
It would be stupid. He’s got more policy and fraud ammo than we can use. Good grief.
Defeating Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas? I could have done that. Notice the guy is completely of the PC generation. He puts in his hours in the beltway and runs to the nearest pub to get smashed every night.
I DON'T THINK SO!
BS, what?
Repubics generally "pi**" me off, and have for years.
McCain’s people slapped the gag on Sarah Palin after she began launching into direct attacks on Obama in 2008. The raging success of that move was borne out by the great victory they achieved...
oh, wait...
I get it.
Never mind.
“Look how popular Donald Trump became over night when he took it straight to Obama.”
Then, look at how long it took the mostly gay-run liberal media to turn him in to a politically incorrect laughingstock. About 30 days....
THAT IS WHAT THE RNC FEARS. And those fears are not unfounded.
While I agree with you, they already know you are angry with them. The current Republican party cares not if you love them or hate them. They know you can’t vote for Obama, so you only have one other choice, and the McCains are as good as anyone else for all they care.
It’s rather surprising to me that they even launch any kind of a national campaign anymore. Once the campaign is over, that’s the last you hear from the RNC until the next one.
They call for donations non-stop, but as for lofting our ideology for the public to adopt, or combating the destructive actions of the Left, forget about it.
Conservatives have nearly no representation at all in Washington, D.C.
There. Fixed it.
Newt will attack him if nobody else will!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I disagree. 4 years ago I would have said “MCCAIN will attack him if nobody else will!!!”
But we all know how that didn’t happen. And Newt is softer than McCain.
But there is one person who will (and has) personally attacked Obama.
You know you I mean.
(hint: Think weasel hair)
I am.
No Balls—No Blue Chips
No guts-—No glory.
Match’s the Republicans well.
