2012 heads-up: DNC targets South Carolina Gov Mark Sanford
The Guardian, London, UK ^ | 2009-03-12

The Democratic national committee is doing some pre-emptive opposition research on a man expected to be a contender for the 2012 Republican nomination.

A spokesman this morning sent out a memo five notes with links to news stories critical of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, a conservative Republican. Sanford recently drew some attention recently when he railed against Obama's stimulus package and suggested he might reject some of the money. The remarks drew cheers from national Republicans and raised his profile among the group.

Do you read that, Steele? Time to do a little RNC strategizing for once. Quit letting the Dims take control.

They KNOW their crap isn’t going to work, so they constantly prepare to spin the news. If they believed even a little in what Obama/Frank/Pelosi were doing, then they wouldn’t act this way. Or maybe they would. Dems are spoiled overgrown children constantly seeking attention regardless of what is going on around them.

Get ready Mark, your about to get the Sarah Palin treatment. Anyone who is considered a threat to the Messiah will be crucified, dragged through the mud, and smeared. I hope he doesn’t have any secrets in his closet, because these liberal bastards will find it and exploit it, sound familiar, yeah right out of Saul Alinsky’s handbook

A Democratic party source tells me: “If he wants to posture for 2012, it’s going to have a price”.

*****************

Keep “posturing”, Governor. You have the right message.

Isn’t it sad that a foreign newspaper has to point out the dirty character assassination games the DNC plays through American traitor media, but not a peep from our supposedly “fair and balanced” media?

Moderates in the GOP hate him. That means I like him. The problem is he doesn’t care. Anyone that takes 2 pigs to the Republican control capital and cause out the waste is my man.

By 2012 it will not even be safe to claim membership in the dim party in SC.
