If Obama hits that bulls-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Chewbacca_Defense: ghare: I beg you, Obama: come out in favor of breathing.

That actually wouldn't work, as much fun as it would be if it did.

Fox Blonde Talking Head #253: "I like breathing. This may be the first intelligent position Obama has taken."
Fox Blonde Talking Head #162: "This really disproves the silly talking point that our patriotic Republican representatives will automatically disagree with the Democrat messiah on anything."

There is no chance this is what would happen. More likely it would go

Fox Blonde Talking Head #253: Of course Obama came out in favor of breathing. It's an election year and he'll say anything to pander to the mammal vote.
Fox Blonde Talking Head #162: And do we really know if he's in favor of breathing? Why doesn't he release his kindergarten medical records?

mrshowrules: qorkfiend: mrshowrules: qorkfiend: If Rule #1 in politics isn't "Never talk about your opponent's strengths or successes", it should be.

The Rovian rule which got Dubya re-elected is precisely the opposite. You most certainly attack an opponent on his strengths and successes. You simply frame them as weaknesses and failures (by lying).

-Kerry was a coward
-Obama is trying to co-opt the credit of Bush and the Navy Seals for getting OBL
-the milk you put on your cereal in the morning cereal comes from cats

I had thought the Rovian strategy was take your weaknesses and project them on to your opponent.

All part of the Rove strategy rainbow. What you said is also standing operating procedure. I think it all derivative of the "big lie" strategy. Make a lie big enough and people will believe there is at least an element of truth to it. I would attribute that to someone else but I don't want to Godwin the thread.

Here's a good article on it.

Also, always best to get your opponent on the defense. This demonstrates that better than anything in the universe:

Some tea bagger that one of my relatives knows said we should thank Reagan for Obama getting bin laden. I told them to tell the person "Yes, without Reagan, Obama couldn't have gotten OBL" and then show the 'bagger this photo.

"I do not concur in the words of Barack Obama in a plan to enter an ally of ours... I don't think those kinds of comments help in this effort to draw more friends to our effort," Romney told reporters on the campaign trail.

Obama on Wednesday said if elected president in November 2008 he would be willing to launch military strikes against al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan with or without the approval of the Pakistani government of President Pervez Musharraf.

"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said. - circa 2007

Sorry, MittNugget, you're a puss. A puss on record. A bigger puss then you could ever hope to portray Carter to be.

Remember when conservatives liked posting that site with how many campaign promises Obama had yet to fulfill? Why don't they post that link anymore?

By whining about the unfairness of Obama's attacks, all Romney and his surrogates did was turn a web-only campaign video into a weeklong discussion of how Obama killed America's top enemy. That's a fight Romney "cannot hope to win,"

No, that's not true at all! You can win this fight, Romney! Keep at it, man!
