They’re a bunch of little shih-tsus.
I just sent an email to the RNC for those who are not in this to win this for the future of America itself, I asked them to step down, let those who are willing to go after Obama & the Dems for screwing up this country and NOT protect the Washington establishment. Yes, I am pissed about this crap.
Nothing helps you win an office like not clearly and directly pointing out the flaws of your opponent. Can’t do that without going after him. Attacking his policies are an attack on HIM, jerks. Even if you think it isn’t that’s how these lib knobs will spin it and then the media will pick it up and then you’re pooping yourselves and will tone down even further.
God we have such limp wristed pussies, if this is what they are really thinking.
Further why project this and allow it to get into the media and have Obama learn you’re scared sh1tless to do a frontal attack on him?
Way to go GOP. Apparently you want Obama to win in 2012.
They have zero perspective. 2012 is critical not to lose. The gloves need to come off. They will on the other side because they will do anything to win. Country cannot handle another 4 more years. Country cannot handle 3 more extreme liberal SCOTUS justices.
Words like ""risky, perilous, unsafe, chancy, costly, rewardless, discriminatory, unproven, dangerous, needlessly expensive, costly, abandoning the middle class, not thought out, proven ineffective, precarious, shaky, uncertain, insecure," work every time WHEN USED TO DESCRIBE HIS PROGRAMS, IDEAS, PLANS, RECORD, ETC, (BUT NOT HIM PERSONALLY) personal attacks, such as calling names personally just breeds sympathy.
I have been a Republican since my first vote in 1962. I left the GOP in 2006 when the RAT party took control and the GOP/Bush would not stand up and refute the lies being peddled by the RAT party. But if the GOP ahears to this “speak no evil of Zero†policy I will leave the Presidential box unchecked and write in Palin. The GOP will never get another penny. NO to mittens.
Ah, the RINOs strike again.
"Sir, the target is in sight!"
"Stand down, stand down."
Leaked to Yahoo. It looks like the lockstep traitors aren’t without moles. Vote Loudly with your letters and your wallets. I am on such good terms with the R(ino)NC that they hang up if I answer the phone rather than my kind wife.
The republicans.....the party of NO (backbone)
Obama must be called on his fake BC, his Connecticut Social Security Card, the imigration file held by Homeland Security, many more but these three will do for now. This guy has to hammered for the liar and treasonous bastard that he is.
Because any attacks will be called racism.
The GOP is the real reason this guy is in the WH. Where's the Tea Party? I can't stand the GOP.
If they mean trying to make Obama appear some kind of monster, then I agree. He’s done all he can to make himself appear to be a husband with a wife and kids who loves to vacation and golf.
It’s a better approach to acknowledge he’s nice to his kids and his golf partners, but that he’s incompetent in the job.
Nothing personal...just can’t do the job.
When drafted they thought he’d be a rookie sensation. Reality has proven to them that he’s not. But, those who voted for him will have to defend their choice, and where they’ll defend it is with the “nice guy” label.
Agree that he loves golf and vacations and his kids, but the he’s not been able to do the job.
I actually see where they’re coming from. One of the main reasons Bush won in 2004 despite the country being lukewarm about his presidency were the vicious, unfounded, and mean-spirited attacks on him from the libs. We don’t want Obama to be able to paint himself as the victim. Stick to his failed policies, that’s what the American people hate.
RNC is being run by a bunch of puzzies. The libs are the ones that declaired war, and war it is. The Tea Party is taking all the flack that the RNC don’t want. Screw them. My money is going to the Tea Party and my candidate of choice.
NO BALLS GOP..
That is why I don’t consider my self a member of the GOP any longer...
I support Conservatives and Tea Party Goals.
I’m ashamed of what has and is happening to the Greatest Nation in the World...
But the responses on this forum prove that if it were true, it would surprise very few. And why? Because the GOP's leadership stands for nothing. Fights - for nothing. Believes in - nothing.
Well, perhaps upon reflection that's not entirely fair: they believe in their jobs. And also - in about half as much new government power and bureaucracy as the Democrats want. But if you wish to reduce spending, or roll back government - you're on your own, son. In Washington, D.C - you have no party.
Except the Tea Party. And they have no money or power or influence to affect even one line of legislation. That's what happens when formerly responsive and dynamic Republics degenerate into majoritarian Democracies. Like ours, America. The next step is authoritarianism, like China.
Our "Progressives" love China and wish to create its likeness here. Another Obama term and two more Supreme Court justices - and it's all over for anyone who still cares about outdated concepts like... freedom. Obama and his ilk think "freedom" means not wanting for anything. Dependency. A right to things that others must provide. To each, according to his needs. Guess where this ends? You know.
So: let's not go there, shall we? But first - we need an opposition worthy of the name. The Republican Party is failing. They have a very narrow window to change that fact before their time will have passed. I doubt many in the GOP "elite" have a clue what is about to happen to America - or to themselves. I'm not 100% certain, either. But it won't be pleasant, no matter who ends up writing the history of this moment.
Oh, fer f***’s sake. What the hell did we elect the Republicans for, anyway?
I’d like to offer a clarification: The phrase “personal attack(s)” confuses the issue. To me, the correct definition of a “personal attack” is to ridicule someone on a personal level: calling someone stupid, or ugly or otherwise disparaging the person’s intelligence, character (including ancestry) or physical appearance. By contrast, it is not a personal attack to criticize a person’s performance or ideas.
Too often, this distinction is blurred and I think the RINO National Committee is suggesting just that, if experience is any indication.
Having attempted to distinguish personal and other attacks, I have to say that there isn’t the slightest reason not to make personal attacks where they bear directly on qualification for the job of President. For example, it is legitimate to point out that Obama is dishonest, clearly a character issue. It is perfectly legitimate and essential to make this point a central message in the Republican campaign. It is legitimate because it can be supported by countless examples and because at least one would hope a plurality of Americans can agree that honesty still counts in our leaders, even if rare. It is essential because any potential swing voters who might be beguiled by Obama’s fantastic campaign promises must be dissuaded at every turn from believing one word the man says.
If I was running the Republican presidential campaign, I would have one set of commercials running in heavy rotation in every battleground state simply splicing together Obama’s promises with content that shows he broke them and with statements he’s made with content showing that he knew they were false when he made them. I wouldn’t want to have a lot of narrative voice-over or heavy graphics or effects: just let Obama speak for himself. I would run this right through the campaign and polls and pundits be damned.
On a similar note, the candidate should be prepared to point out his lies and broken promises at every opportunity. He should explain that the American people need a leader who can be trusted and Obama has shown that he cannot be trusted. All of this should be said with diplomacy, without rancor, just stating facts that are borne out by the record.
Another thing I would do away with is the idea of ever, EVER paying him a compliment. If, for any reason, it comes up, the candidate should simply defer and say “this is not about our personal feelings” or “it’s not about whether either candidate is a nice guy or a “family man””. It’s about one thing and one thing only: who can begin to recall America from the perilous course she is on? Mr. Obama has steered America straight for a cliff and he’s got his foot firmly on the pedal, accelerating disaster.
I really hope FReepers aren’t donating any dimes to the RNC
