Perry has gotten in on the act too.
I have to agree with Rush Limbaugh on this. You’d think this was a socialist party primary.
I guess if it’s can actually help keep the nomination from Romney....but...it’s giving him the high ground.....I don’t like it.
“but...it’s giving him the high ground.....I don’t like it.”
I spoke with two people today who were sympathetic towards Mittens because of the attacks on him.
I just don’t know what to do anymore...
p.s. Rick Perry sucks.
One SAFE rule of thumb is that if you are using the same arguments as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Rachel Maddow it's time to stop and re-calibrate.
This is just this more of the personality politics, meaning say anything no matter how contradictory or unprincipled it sounds as long as it serves the personality politics objectives. Some of them are the same people as 2 years ago, just change the personality.
We saw something similar Fall 2009 when some Republicans (some here too) decided a great way to hurt Obama was to declare any cuts to medicare equivalent to killing seniors and so the RNC made a public contract to oppose ANY medicare cuts.
Then Republicans take over House in 2011 (see it worked! ) and decide that they have a mandate to :
1) Only protect those over 55 from cuts to medicare
2) Those under 55 get to find an insurance company after they retire that wants to insure them instead of medicare paying the bills as it still would for those over 55 being ‘protected’ .
Then they couldn't believe when Democrats made a internet commercial showing Ryan throwing granny off a cliff. Only a liberal would make that association, right??? Then the Ryan plan just faded away. Ryan recently proposed a plan much better thought out than that first one.
Sometimes its good to actually believe in SOMETHING besides the personalities.
