Shades of McLame!

When the Mass. RINO pulls off his mittens and puts on the boxing gloves I will raise an eyebrow. If he lands a hard right to that impostors Economic (trainwreck) record he will get my attention. If he throws an uppercut followed by a gut punch to the Kenyan Klown exposing his lying, criminal, shady past and the slew unconstitutional E.O. the jackass has written I’ll be impressed. But it aint gonna happen.

Myth would have to be *gasp* politically incorrect!

Trump is right in theory, but he’s so full of it...he spends all his time saying that Romney has to get tough and then praises Hussein and the Communists for running a great convention..ummm no Donald...how about you stepping up and saying how terrible the convention was, taking God out of the platform, not recognizing Jerusalem, Sandra Fluke....How about mentioning how absolutely pathetic it is for the sitting President to have a rapist and womanizer run cover for him at his own convention...

Romney’s friends and not-friends are still waiting for him to begin his campaign ~ whatever it is.

Whether or not the polls are fabricated is not relevent.

There is no more time for gutless wonder republican’ts.

Not now, not ever.

We either crush the enemy of freedom, or it will crush us.

.and if Trump would have backed off the birth certificate issue and Limbaugh not called Fluke a slut we would be looking at a one term proposition exactly as Obama had predicted.

So in other words we are supposed to play by their rules? The BC issue is what led many people to question the fairy tale that team Obonehead advanced. And Rush calling that slut a slut well what can we say? Do we continue to allow the left to define women from what occurs below their waists? No I do not think so. It demeans me.

Interesting thing about broadcast TV, viewership is way down, so is the attention span. With 75 channels available at the bottom of the price range, and something like 400 available at the top, when a campaign ad comes on the channel gets changed to something else at least equally entertaining.

I said something about this idea of trying to win a general election up against the Democrats with nothing but negative ads on broadcast TV.

To tell you the truth I have yet to see a Romney ad at all ~ not since last Fall. The only way I knew he was running was by tuning into the debates ~ otherwise none of that stuff ran here, or I just didn't see it. And, still haven't seen it ~

One does suppose he had some gigantic rallies here in Fairfax County like Sarah Palin did ~ but so far no news about that.

Does anyone know if this guy has actually started a campaign?

Having tossed the theory that there are actually independent voters out the door long ago ~ they just don't exist ~ hearing that independents are sensitive to anything is like hearing about Democrats voting the dead.

You fix that by enforcing voting laws, and you forget about these independents. If you can't get Republicans to vote for you how do you expect Democrats to at least stay home?

True; Reagan was unique. But he didn’t pussyfoot around, and he wiped up.

I don’t buy the idea that independents are turned off by straight talk.

well I was at a family reunion this weekend. Lots of people, politically the center-of-mass is right of center. Many right-leaning independents and what I call run-of-the-mill GOP’ers. Most don’t like the strident talk (I hear a lot of “Why-can’t-we-all-get-along?”) and it was a lot of women were voicing that so maybe the good cop bad cop approach is right.

Do you recall that in 1991 “kinder and gentler” GHWB boycotted the funeral of Lee Atwater?

Getting tough and angry doesn’t necessarily mean Romney take it out of other’s hides, but he MUST get more aggressive and sell himself as a President that can fix this mess. Attack,attack attack !!!

The real battle has already been won. They beat out the conservatives. Now all they have to do is lie back and let the country just pour their love out on him.

in Northern VA the Romney campaign is pretty aggressive particularly compared to McCain. Could it be more aggressive heck yeah! However I like aggression and the red meat stuff. So I might be a poor campaign adviser, remember Newt's red meat aggression appeals to me!

Statement: "Trump: If Republicans 'don't get tough, they're not going to win this election'"

Response: He is correct.

Comment: Is Romney another left wing Republican sell out? I am beginning to think so. "The Divine One" is chewing up Romney alive! Another McCain!

I did not remember that. I remember vaguely when he died because the media enjoyed a few last jabs.

It amazes me that so many Republicans fall for this soft approach. Obama has a wildly vicious political team. So did Clinton. Neither get tarred for it. Reagan had one. Bush43 had a somewhat aggressive team, but not in the Atwater tradition. We’ll see what the Romney team has in store. They definitely have the capability if they chose to use it. I am confused by the absence of their awesome rapid response team in the late spring and early summer.
