Obama plan: Destroy Romney
Polutico ^ | 8/9/11 4:29 AM EST | Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin

Barack Obama’s aides and advisers are preparing to center the president’s reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romney’s character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor is the likely GOP nominee.

The dramatic and unabashedly negative turn is the product of political reality. Obama remains personally popular, but pluralities in recent polling disapprove of his handling of his job, and Americans fear the country is on the wrong track. His aides are increasingly resigned to running for reelection in a glum nation. And so the candidate who ran on “hope” in 2008 has little choice four years later but to run a slashing, personal campaign aimed at disqualifying his likeliest opponent.

North America has been covered with ice sheets about 20 times over the last 2.5 million years.

We are overdue for the next glacial advance.

If Global Warming is holding it back, then good for Global Warming.

BTW, that ice doesn't all pile up in Eur-Asia. It piles up right here in North America ~ 2 mile thick sheets! If GW fails and the ice comes again we do get rid of Massachusetts and Chicago right off the bat! Oh, yeah, all the Mexicans go home.

Give us a leader like Senator Jim Demint (SC); he’s not a RINO!

Actually, I’d settle for Joe the Plumber!

I’d settle for an orange juice can over Mittens.

Isn’t Politico a left-leaning publication? Is anyone, other than me surprised that they’re running this?

If you know it's true, do you really care what the source is?

SO, Obama plans on doing to Romney EXACTLY what Romney has been doing to Santorum and Gingrich.

GOOD. Serves the dishonest, lying, back-stabbing POS right.

Obama doesn’t need to destroy Romney.

Just let him talk and he will destroy himself.

Obama plan: Destroy Romney


GOP plan: Lose the election.

Simple as that.

"GOP plan: Lose the election."

....and if Romney is somehow the GOP Nominee, that is exactly what will happen. And that's fine with me. We'll just have to support Tea Party candidates for the House and Senate........and wait just 4 years instead of 8 under Mittens.

____________________________________________________________
Not sure who you’re thinking the three candidates will be in November, but, consider this: Since Denny Kucinich lost his Primary race and he will not be in the House and he is very pissed at the Congresswoman who defeated him in the Primary, we need to get Denny to run on a Third Party as the candidate to the “left” of Obama. He is angry that Gitmo is still open, that we are still in Afghanistan.....etc. How can we get a “KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT” Third Party movement to pull votes away from Obozo?
