Grover Norquist: Obama Won Because He Called Romney A 'Poopy Head'

[merrily]

67. Excuse # 1098765 for why Romney lost that does not involve Republican policies.

This excuse is a two fer. Not only does it shield the Republican policies that brought us global economic disaster, but it also lays the ground for Republicans to run the most negative pollitical campaigns ever from now until the end of time.

Here's the thing. Romney attack the President's record in the Oval Office because the President had a record in the Oval Office. However, Romney also ran away from his own record and Governor and instead vowed to repeal Obamacare/Romneycare. He tried to run on the Olympics, but all the gaffes made during his pointless trip to Europe by his aide and him closed off that route, too.

So, Romney ran on his alleged success as a businessman, which was supposed to give him cred on the economy in general and job creating in particular. Therefore, Obama attacked him on his alleged success as a businessman, pointing out all Romney's anti U.S. jobs moves. Then, Romney said he was not responsible for those moves, whereupon the Obama campaign came up with an SEC filing by Romney that said otherwise.

And, Romney's story kept changing, so Obama pointed that out as well.

Both of them implied the other was being less than truthful (and so did factcheckedrs, for that matter).

When an incumbent runs, you have the luxury to attack his job performance. What was Obama supposed to attack, if Romney ran away from most of his own history and lied and shifted positions about the rest? Romney's school transcripts? Only Trump is that stupid!
