Like Reagan said... “The Time is NOW!”

OK, Mitt... you gave the enemy his chance to behave himself...

Now get your boot on his neck and don’t let up. Ever.

[cuban leaf]

I do not believe Obama is a nice guy. Just sayin’.

[skeeter]

You can toss out that little positive attribute too - Obama is not a nice fellow.

He's a commie rat b*stard and needs the boot in Nov or its turn out the lights America.

[donozark]

Geez! Romney has curb-stomped every conservative above the rank of Corporal, but hasn’t really swung on Obi yet.

[ArrogantBustard]

If the entire R0mney campaign has even a quarter of a functioning brain amongst the lot, they'll follow Ray Kroc's advice:

"If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth”

[econjack]

The GOP has played the nice guy for years and it got us nowhere. It’s time to get out the brass knuckles and punch the guy in the face...hard!

[Principled]

The strong criticism still stands - when will Romney treat 0bama like he treated Perry, Gingrich, and that other guy?

Until he takes the same approach, it will be said that he doesn’t want to win - the nomination? Well, he wanted that.

We shall see.

I would LOVE to see 0bama actually be vetted. I doubt the press will do its job - but w/ internet and radio - we don’t need no steenkin’ press. They could help, but we don’t need ‘em.

[Jeff Vader]

this might enthuse me to send money if he’s serious

[albie]

“that he’s really disappointed”

...gosh. The kenyan must be upset that he’s been a dissapointment to our Obama lite candidate. ~sarc

[nhwingut]

Trump Tweet this morning: @MittRomney needs to make @BarackObama regret that he ever asked for his tax records.

LOL!

[ryan71]

I’m ready for some hard ball!

[econjack]

Obama campaign officials privately admit that the Republican has, at times, been effective in beating down attacks on his business record — but they've yet to see a way out on the tax issue.

What? You've got to be kidding. The next time the Obozo camp says anything about tax returns, Romney should respond with something like: "I'll be happy to supply those documents the instant you lift the seal on all your past records."

[MulberryDraw]

Not even a peep about this speech on our local FOX affiliate news last night. Instead we had Obama ad nauseum and his 4 fund raisers in Texas. Romney needs to run this stuff in ads to get the any kind of attention in the LSM.

[samtheman]

Romney and McCain are both RINOs, but there is a fundamental difference between Romney and McCain:

McCain will ONLY attack conservatives, and will NEVER turn against a leftist no matter what the provocation.

Romney will attack ANYBODY — even leftists, if provoked.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Hit Obunga Chicago style but save some for his “beard”, Cow-Obunga!

[Steamburg]

A quick look at the screwed up campaign funding scene and it becomes clear that this drip, drip, drip, can’t be turned into a proper flood until after the convention and general election funds are released. I hope that this is merely battlefield preparation.

Timing in politics is as complex as any battle strategy. The only thing that is believed to be certain is the election date (subject to permanent change if BHO has his way.)

The wonder of politics is that with the right set of moves, or imperial misstep, this can all change in a day.

[saywhatagain]

Of course Mitts needs to take Obamination to the woodshed . . .

When he does, all we get to hear from Marxist, is how racist we all are. Guaranteed that will be the next headline upon the first effective attack.

The Rats are becoming so boring. All they have is the racist card and class warfare. Do they have even one single original thought?

Yeah, I know. The masses buy it all the time. Its an easy sell. Does not require critical thought nor an ounce of common sense

[JustSayNoToNannies]

"I mean, this is a guy who admitted to cocaine use, had a sweetheart deal with his house in Chicago, and was associated and worked with Rod Blagojevich to get Valerie Jarrett appointed to the Senate," the adviser said. "The bottom line is there'll be counterattacks."

The reference to Obama's past drug use seems to suggest that former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu wasn't going off-script after all when he dinged the president for spending "his early years in Hawaii smoking something" during a Tuesday morning Fox News appearance.

If Sununu was on-script, the script needs a rewrite. Marijuana is not cocaine; 56% of Americans favor legalizing marijuana - the Reefer Madness dog won't hunt anymore.

[pallis]

Obama is not a nice guy. He is retrained by necessity. Don’t allow those restraints to come off, because Obama will make Hitler look like a Boy Scout. Maybe Romney has had a taste of that.

[kevkrom]

The conundrum here is that Obama is skating by on not being properly vetted and called on his sordid past (and present, for that matter). However, from a tactical political position, there is a lot of danger in any kind of personal attack against Obama, no matter how true -- it will rally emotional support to him, regardless of logic, and he is strongest when appealing to the emotional.
