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."

On the call--which Yahoo News was invited to attend because of a mistake by someone on the staff of the Republican National Committee--Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, encouraged Republicans to turn around the Democratic attacks lobbed at the GOP presidential candidates-- Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, for starters-- for "flip-flopping."

Nobody is going to take anything from Obama until they’ll say the words ‘Hussein’ and ‘Alleged birthplace’.
Even I agree that Zer0 is (a) sorry (excuse for an American, mush less a “leader”).
Awwww...for EFF’S SAKE!!!!!
Ugh!
The Stupid Party strikes again.
This woman is part of the problem. IMHO, a candidate has to run against Hussein. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Their real response is to join him.

Yeah, because the same strategy worked so well for John McCain....
The power of political correctness, and the fear of the enemy media rears it’s ugly head, yet again.
And we only have ONE candidate that even stands a chance of getting the message out above the din of media hate.
I think Rush is going to talk about this after the top of the hour. He said...”Repubs have had orders from ‘the top’ and I don’t think you’re gonna like it.”
I wish you would grow some huevos republican party, even though I know it’s a futile dream. There are numerous areas in which Obama richly deserves to be attacked!
Amazing that Obama has denied the hospital in Hawaii where he was born (whichever one that is) a special visit. I mean, surely it would be great public relations for the hospital.
For example, Overturn Obamacare. Let him tell us why we need this....again....Kinda like hitting his head against the wall.
We are going to get four more years of obama because the GOP hacks in DC want obama in office. Don’t kid yourselves, McCain, Boehner, Mcconnell, TNR, the GOP party hacks, all love obama.
I am so sick of the GOP - a total waste of a party.

The fix is in. The left wing of the BOHICA Party gets to stay in the WH. The right wing of the BOHICA Party gets Congress.
And we the people get it in the end, AGAIN.
they are EFFING pathetic....i hate to make this comparison but its like the abused wife that will not do a damn thing to stop the abuse- does nothing but continues to take the abuse...
i am someone whose fought liberals in the streets at counter protests with other Freepers and Protest Warrior...this gives a green light for obozo and the criminal liberal media to continue attack against conservatives with no fear of retribution...UTTERLY PATHETIC!!!
yea, it’s not like Americans can handle multiple issues at once.
quick... pick one item, hang your hat on it and then blow it handing the election to the dems
great plan!! morons.
how about start with eligibility, forcing him to explain how he didn’t have split allegiances at birth... then move to the unConstitutional 0bamacare... then the war expansion without explanation... then the economy... next would be the unemployment rate followed by his treatment of our allies, gun walker, cash walker, insider trading, and finally about his multiple social security numbers. while you’re at it, demand an explanation why he submitted an obviously forged birth certificate
how these people can lose the election is beyond me.
but the GOP will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory all the while blaming dems. grats!
