Mitt Romney's Cyberwar on Rick Perry (an anti-Perry website show Romney is desperate)
National Journal ^ | October 18, 2011 | John Hudson

Posted on 10/18/2011 10:29:29 PM PDT by Sun

Mitt Romney is going negative on Rick Perry, and he's using one of the most tried-and-true methods: the Internet. Today, Romney for President Inc. launched (snip) an anti-Rick Perry website aimed at undermining the former Massachusetts governor's best-funded opponent. snip

The Washington Post shows other anti-Perry Web domain names are being gobbled up snip

While no one is claiming ownership of the anti-Perry domains, The Post's Philip Rucker and T.W. Farnam note that the same day the domain names were purchased, Romney's campaign bought $2,851 worth of domain names at GoDaddy.com, which was the same vendor that sold the anti-Perry domains. snip

Interestingly, there's another campaign that may be gobbling up anti-Perry domains as well: President Obama's.

Well, it's understandable that Romney and Obama would both be using the same tactics, such as anti-Perry websites, as both Romney and Obama are cut from the same cloth.

I'm not even a Perry supporter, but Perry is far better than Romney, and more importantly, what's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong.

btw, I first learned about this on Mark Levin's Tuesday show.

Have any of you ever heard of a presidential candidate having a special ANTI-WEBSITE against their opponent? It's not very classy, and also not very presidential.

If Perry could just string a couple of sentences together, I might get excited about him. The dream act in Texas was a non-starter for me. And Romney’s youtube talks do not exactly have me jumping up and down that he is “now” a conservative.

Romney got his ass handed to him tonight. Fake websites and all the money in the world isn’t gonna save this dope. This evening is the beginning of the end for Mittens.

They have anti candidate radio spots and tv ads. Don’t really see how this is anything but an extension of previous politics.

Still pretty sad. I wonder if any candidate would ever do an old school proper debate instead of this circus show we get on tv.

From the Opening Post article:

“Interestingly, there’s another campaign that may be gobbling up anti-Perry domains as well: President Obama’s.”

It goes well with your tagline. :)

Romney is so much like Obama.

I’m so glad that the other candiates have attacked Romney - it’s about time.

My husband was watching tv, and told me that they showed a clip of the debate, and Romney put his hand on Perry’s shoulder, after Perry criticized Romney. Was this some kind of bully-like threat? I didn’t see it myself, so can’t say.

I agree, Mitt starting taking about 1/100’th of the flack Perry has been taking and he was nearly in tears. Mitt took some massive damage tonight, and the best part is that their is still so much to remind/reveal about Romney that is bad, while every single bad thing about Perry has already been aired.

If Perry wasn't polling in the single digits, I would say he actually might be able to get back into this, but unless Cain stumbles badly, and it would have to be pretty badly, then I think Romney starts drifting down into the mid teens in the polls, while Cain hold steady around at 25%-30%, and Perry might get back up to 10%, but unless Perry drops his support of the tuition thing, I just can't see him getting much traction, unless Cain has a unexpected implosion, like a mistress or something of that nature.

How many minutes did the two Juvenal rinos spend humping each other. Two little kids, petty.

But at least they don’t try to hide who is doing the tv and radio ads.

It sure did get the ball rolling and more importantly it showed that Mittens is flippable. I hope this keeps up.

just came across as some metrosexual petting a snarling pit bull to me.

watch the way Mitt walks out of stage with his hands stiff at his side and his shoulders slumped forward, never seen such a beta male, but as soon as he gets to the podium, he turns on his alpha male stick, but he isn't fooling anyone.

Right, it's not but what it is, like you said, it's very desperate. Romney is repulsive - he's a snake in the grass.

Obama and obama, jr - how cute - I think they compare notes.

How about a website comparing their similarities.

It was the creepiest part of the debate. Perry looked like he wanted to hit him for that. Mittens is a real oddball. The glassy stare at his opponents with the fake smile is weird too.

Fox News thinks Perry bullied poor Mitt. They think it will back fire.

Santorum did great with his RomneyCare attacks.

The thing that is most important is, Romney has deep internal polling capability and still sees Perry as his greatest threat.

Think about it.......

Romney truly is a rotten, back biting snake!
