Could the Primaries be timed any worse for the challenging party when you have someone like Neutron following a scorched earth policy of "If you bastards don't give me the nomination I'll make sure none of you can win the presidency".
This can't be a coincidence...somehow it must have been manufactured by the Dems.
That Kenyan's a sneaky bastard like that!
Republicans legitimize Obama’s reelection rhetoric - The Washington PostThe struggling Democratic class-war narrative is suddenly given life and legitimacy by . . . Republicans! Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry make the case that private equity as practiced by Romneys Bain Capital is nothing more than vulture capitalism looting companies and sucking them dry while casually destroying the lives of workers.
Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO nods approvingly. Michael Moore wonders aloud whether Gingrich has stolen his staff. The assault on Bain/Romney instantly turns Obamas class-war campaign from partisan attack into universal complaint.
Suddenly Romneys wealth, practices and taxes take center stage. And why not? If leading Republicans are denouncing rapacious capitalism that enriches the 1 percent while impoverishing everyone else, should this not be the paramount issue in a campaign occurring at a time of economic distress?
Now, economic inequality is an important issue, but the idea that it is the cause of Americas current economic troubles is absurd. Yet, in a stroke, the Republicans have succeeded in turning a Democratic talking point a last-ditch attempt to salvage reelection by distracting from their record into a central focus of the nations political discourse.
This can't be a coincidence...somehow it must have been manufactured by the Dems.
