The robocalls were beyond stupid.
Not only were they bad tactics, they totally blew away any claim he had to the moral high ground. And that, deserved or not, was practically the only real advantage he had over Romney.
It’s gone now.
I am in utter awe at how gracefully he blew his own foot right off at the ankle.
I’m starting to think we might indeed lose to Obama because I am still convinced that the Dems have all the ammo they need to take out both Mitt and Newt.
So hey RIck! Thank you very much for the double-face-palm, beat my-head-against-the-wall, screaming-to-scare-the-cat temper tantrum earlier today.
Clears the sinuses....
well... I will at least feel better knowing that Romney will forever have his name linked to the long list of Republican losers, after he loses to Obama.
I am about to tune out totally.
It’s a shame, I really liked Gingrich, but I guess people just can’t get past his past :/
Thanks for the laugh!! I think you are right, we might lose to Obama. I am praying this is wrong and there is some sort of definitive breakthrough. Maybe the sky rocketing gas prices will do it?
I trust the cat has regained equilibrium! (hehe)
I agree that the robocalls were a shaky tactic. It is true that Reagan reached out to and appealed to and received votes from the more conservative leaning “blue dog” Reagan democrats, whatever that means. If it refers to a blue tick hound type, better give the cat safe haven again.
However I highly doubt Reagan directly requested crossover votes in a Republican primary. Maybe ... I doubt it though, the strategy appears somewhat underhanded. Go for their votes in the general, but don’t undermine the primary process on purpose. I like Rush but was uncomfortable with his operation Hilary tactic. Maybe we ought to reform the primary rules.
“The robocalls were beyond stupid”.
How is what the Santorum team did any different from the lying, conniving tactics of the Romney attack dogs who put out robocalls of Rick endorsing Mitt FIVE years ago?
And they weren’t the only ones in on effort:
“Democratic strategist Joe DiSano has been on an active campaign to get Democrats out for Santorum in effort to hurt Romney. He recorded a robo call and has sent tens of thousands of e-mails to Democratic voters encouraging them to go to the polls.”
