Dead Intern and the rest of the Republic Party sure can dish it out

[Ishoutandscream2]

but by the reactions concerning the brilliant ads coming from the Obama folks, they sure can't take it. The champions of lies and dirty politics can't handle being called on their bullshit. What whiny little punks they are.

Obama has learned from Gore's and Kerry's campaigns. You can't be on the defensive, and when they strike, you strike harder! Call them out on their bullshit and don't let them bully you. Like any bully, you stand up to him, and eventually he will shrink away.

For such a "tough guy" kind of party, the Repigs sure seem to be the biggest whiny babies in politics. Obama just needs to keep hitting, hitting, hitting. And when Romney comes out with an attack ad, Obama needs to come out immediately and strike back.

This is the way to run a campaign nowadays. Keep it up, Mr. President. Don't let them get away with their bullshit.

2. Agree, but I would add that not just the campaign

should be run this way but his presidency also.

[Ishoutandscream2]

3. You are correct

[magical thyme]

5. Exactly

I really hope and pray that this doesn't turn into another bait and switch.

We need this kick-ass attitude taken to the banksters. W got everything he wished for even with the dem majority. If that drunken armchair warrior can do that, then so can we. No more excuses. No more kow-towing to Timmeh, either. Just beat the living crap out of them all.

10. I think that the problem of running his presidency that way is that you cannot rope-a-dope until

you have convinced the dope that you are too weak to fight back. I have hope for the second term IF we can get him the House and Senate he needs.

19. It's not just the Presidential campaign.

Democrats need to be offensively (both senses of the word too) aggressive in Congressional campaigns as well. Loudly and vociferously call bullshit on Tparty talking points. Negative ads against Republicans are a definite plus as long as there are plenty of ads pointing out The Presidents and Democrats accomplishments too. VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC BALLOT get Congress doing America's business again.

4. They are Bullies and when you confront a bully

one on one they show they are cowards.

[rhett o rick]

16. Agree, bullies are cowards. nm

[SoutherDem]

7. I have never understood

Why it is ok for Republicans to spin, lie and totally smear an opponent both Democrat or a Republican as Romney did to all of his primary opponents, and it is considered fine, they see nothing wrong with this.

But, let someone stand up against those ads and it is dirty politics and negative advertising.

13. Our liberal media that goes with the conservative narrative out of fear or duty

to their corporate overlords.

What angers/incenses the republicans, all the wars on this the fear mongering etc would just make the democratic voter feel 'both sides are equally bad' if/when their side starts using tactics that sort of look like that negativity. A large part of that comes from hearing that from our 'liberal media' about how 'both sides' are engaging in dirty tactics when really one is lying and the other stands up with the truth/facts.

Now if we had an unbiased media calling out BS when there was BS and not shrinking to the republican victim mentality narrative whenever they are challenged or shown to be lying/incorrect we'd have a better chance at the issues not being framed from the conservative side.

Still it HAS to start with the democratic side not backing down to republican victimization/narratives in their favor. If it happens enough I don't see how the media can continue to ignore the truth in their face over and over, well at least everyone but Fox.

[SoutherDem]

15. Your right

Why is truth looked at as negative? My mom said if you can't say something good, say nothing at all. Using that plan Democrats would never speak of a Republican again.

[yardwork]

8. This is how Obama won in 2008 and how he'll win again in 2012.

Obama was ready for them in 2008. He's ready for them now.

[DCKit]

9. Compare Mr. Obama's ability and willingness to talk on any subject...

with Mittens "Why aren't we talking about jobs and the economy?" response to every question, and you know they're on the ropes. He's got no plan and can't speak on the issues. He's simply deflecting and running out the clock.

The DNC, (D) PACs and Obama campaign need to start asking "What bills have been advanced in the House to deal responsibly with jobs or the economy?" and "Can the U.S. economy survive being run under the Bain model?" Congress hasn't accomplished squat, and Bain-style vulture capitalism would destroy our country.

The second anyone has the guts to ask RMoney to lay out a detailed plan regarding jobs and the economy, he's toast - he's nothing more than a high-functioning moron with a handful of RNC talking points. The debates are going to be an embarrassing bloodbath for the Republics.

[DLevine]

11. Absolutely agree. n/t

[Aviation Pro]

12. The Republicants....

...have always been whiny, fat babies and always try to tag the President with using "Chicago way" tactics.

Sorry, you walking wads of fuck, but when you bring a knife to a gun fight you will always lose. So if you get vapors because we hit back harder go take your parasols and shove them up your wide asses.

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Just like US Grant in the Civil War.

Basically ignore what your opponent is doing and concentrate on what you're doing.

Forget about whatever made up outrage they're whining about and keep hitting them. If they're bitching then you're on the right track.

[Gregorian]

17. It's unfortunate, but this is what we should have been doing all along.

I imagine the rest of you sat and watched, as I did, in total frustration, as Gore for one milktoasted his way through the election.

It's political barbarism. Not what I like. But if that's what it takes to eliminate the "disease", then so be it.

[CTyankee]

18. It was funny. Scab sarcastically said "I thought the ad was going to be about

Obama's accomplishments over the past 4 years." So Mika said "OK, let's talk about those accomplishments now."

Scab backed away real fast.

Scab is a crybaby.

Hey, Joe, you know what to do if you can't stand the heat?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. wish I could give this a million recs AND

plaster it over EVERY Insurance, Fast Food and Praise Jesus billboard in the country!!!

23. Thanks for calling

him by his proper name, Dead Intern. Now, if everyone will start calling Chris Matthews by his proper name, Mandibular Masturbator.

24. The thing is that Gingrich , Perry and Santorum

provided a lot of this information.
