They havent really went after him for blatant lies and flip flops. Obama is too polite. Go after the guy.

(53,661 posts)I think he is the kind of person who was brought up to believe it's about ideas and not people. He has said he wants the debate on how America, not himself, wants this nation to be. He's not like Bush, wanting to be a dictator. Far from it. He wants America to be whatever it wants to be.
And at least a third of Americans, which is over a million people, want the Koch model enforced on everyone else, no matter who dies. If enough Americans buy the disinformation from the Koch brothers, or the too good to vote crowd prevails, we will have a president who does nothing but sign the budgets that Norquist (ALEC) wants to enrich the Koch family and all their sycophants.
The rest of us will be seen as their enemy to be gotten rid of any way they can. They've been fomenting deadly hatred of anyone who isn't part of their klan to help that process. That includes those of us either won't, or can't go along with their oppressive religious beliefs and their Randian, cull the herd philosophies.

(8,359 posts)The Koch/Romney tactic is a spending spree of attack ads, forcing him to spend money to respond, and emptying Obama's "war chest" before we even get to full speed in this election.
We're getting to the part where the "buying" of the election is taking place. Obama needs our money, our support online and on the streets. We can't let this election be won by outspending the better candidate.
