Obama team to Texas Democrats: It’s time to start attacking Rick Perry
Hot Air ^ | 8/24/11 | Allahpundit

Forget today’s Gallup poll. If you want a solid sign that Perry’s achieved at least parity with Romney, here it is.

“Your feedback will help hold him accountable on the campaign trail, inspire fellow Texans to get involved, and introduce his record — his actual record — to voters across the country,” Hector Nieto, the campaign’s Texas director, told Texas supporters by email blast today. “Your words will remind him that even as he runs, he won’t be able to hide — a lesson he apparently hadn’t learned as recently as last week. That’s when his campaign explained that the positions he took in the book he wrote just nine months ago, like saying that Social Security is unconstitutional and `a crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal,’ no longer represent his views.

“But what other Americans are just starting to learn about — and, frankly, reject — Texans have dealt with for more than a decade. It’s up to us to make sure he doesn’t get to run away from the truth.”

Nieto’s email says hundreds of Texans have already shared their dim views on Perry, directing critics to an online form where they can suggest their own favorite “failed policies” for which he should be held accountable.

Yes, they really do have an online form just for this on Obama’s campaign site. I’m intrigued by the fact that they’re not content to rely on standard oppo research in this case but want man-on-the-street grumbling from Texas liberals instead.

Kinda like Biden says that Chinas one-child policy no longer represents his view, after 2 days? Just sayin' ... would make a great campaign ad...

Like the democrats haven’t been attacking him since 2001!!! lol And the many republicans right here are attacking him all by themselves and toting around the democrapic bucket of lies. Who needs the democrats when the republicans are willing to do it themselves?

“Pay no attention to the Trans Texas Corridor behind the curtain”?

Seriously, how many things does he need to have in his background that no real conservative would ever have anything to do with before people get a clue?

Seems like the message was intercepted by some FReepers who are doing the Dems work for them.

See post #31 at the link for Perry’s conservative points, then think about this, what other candidate has a better PROVEN record on the issues of concern, immigration, fiscal, abortion, gay marriage, obamacare, etc.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2766822/posts

If you can show me that candidate, then you can make a sale against Perry.

More than he DOES have. Seriously. And thanks for asking a straightforward question with such a simple answer! It’s very helpful.

Here's the ad ~ knowing that Perry has already done evil, unpronounceable things to the pooch, he's already got Obama bated into attacking Perry on the Gardasil thing.

So, the ad shows Obama snorking and sneering at some young woman and in the background the scrolling message and the sonorous announcer say "Obama wants your daughter to get genital warts" and it closes in on a vaginal wart like a CSI evidence close up.

Make it wiggle a bit, and ooze something on a flesh background.

No one has to lie about Perry's record. He's got one.

He's soft on illegals. He's hard on teenage girls.

What more do we need?

Surely you have something to share with them that they’re not up to speed on. Something they’ve overlooked?

You guys are wrong on toll roads. They are an issue Conservatives should be behind ~ only Leftwingtards want to give away socialist roads.

Well they could always try to elect St Rick, he’s at least as liberal as Huntsman and Romney. He’s apparently good at fooling the slow witted into supporting him.
