RE: Perry and Newt warning Obama that attacks against Bain "don't work"

[K8-EEE]

Is that just the most stupid, lame GOP talking point in the world??

HEY "LIBERAL MEDIA!" Is it possible that it "doesn't work" with GOP PRIMARY VOTERS? Guess what, ONLY CRAZY works on GOP primary voters, they are to the right of 90% of American voters and everybody knows it.

I love how none of the interviewers ever ask anything beyond the "didn't work" talking point like, OK it wasn't politically beneficial to you, but IS IT TRUE?

[Kalidurga]

1. If the GOPigs say it doesn't or won't work...

double down, cause it's working or it will work.

6. I'm sure that the Steelers want to tell the Browns how to beat them

in football ...

[awoke_in_2003]

9. With the way the Browns...

have been since their return, the Steelers could tell them how to beat them, and the Browns would still lose.

[zbdent]

12. Last time the Browns won, it was because of extreme winds

in a game which meant nothing to the Steelers ...

In fact, the schedule out for the 2012-13 season really sums up the idea that these two teams will sell out the "rivalry" game if the teams were 1-14 and 0-15 at the last game ...

[awoke_in_2003]

14. As a steelers fan...

I want a good team from Cleveland. The Steelers and Browns are historical rivals, the Ravens are a recent invention. I do miss the Browns

[zbdent]

24. recently, I heard that the latest lament by Browns fans is that

the Steelers fans are no longer considering it a "rivalry" ... that the 'burghers are now "pitying" the Browns fans.

I can see it, but I also remember that, sprinkled amongst the many victories by the Stillers since the Browns came back, there have been a few times when the Browns won. Nothing is "guaranteed".

(I also remember the eulogies written about the Democrats in November 2002, and the Republicans in November 2006).

[awoke_in_2003]

27. Oh, I won't eulogize the Browns...

I hope that, one day, the front office gets their act together and fields a competitive team.

[K8-EEE]

16. Also if it wouldn't work wouldn't they WANT the whole campaign to be about Bain

Instead of "warning" him not to go there they would be hey speaking of BAIN.....I mean come on. Talk about fake "advice!"

[freshwest]

2. Yes, we should all listen and believe these two winning candidates.

Perhaps Obama will send Newt his own video in case he forgot who he was against before Mittens bought his support:

Or Trump will tell Obama how to win an election. Or how to stay financially solvent.



On second thought, this is closer to the mark:

[notadmblnd]

3. the GOP is not who Obama wants to take advice from.

[Greg K]

4. Attacks on Bain didn't work - in a Republican primary.

This is no longer a Republican primary race.

[bluestateguy]

5. In a Republican primary? Perhaps not.

GOP primary voters might even view vulture capitalism as a positive thing and a sign of a candidate's free market credibility.

On the other hand, when Gingrich went on the Bain attack before South Carolina voted, he shot up in the polls and won.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Imagine that, Rick Perry advising Barack Obama how to run for the presidency

[GoCubsGo]

8. Psssssttt..You dummies....

It wasn't that your Bain attacks didn't work. It was that the primary voters found you to be so reprehensible, they didn't even notice your attacks. Just because he beat you doesn't mean his past doesn't matter.

[julian09]

10. Romney only won primaries with about 25% of vote

They hate seeing themselves attacking Romney in democrat ads and there are plenty of attacks to be featured. Romney only won because everyone else was either selling a book, a religious candidate, unqualified and far out on issues.
They know Mitt can't relate to working class or average american, and Bain is the way to point it out. Even now most repugs wish for another candidate.

[K8-EEE]

11. Natch they can count on Faux not asking THEM if they are "anti-free enterprise."

Because they are not Kenyan Marxist usurpers

[Jamaal510]

13. Hmm...

taking GE advice from Rick "Oops" Perry and Newt "I want kids to be janitors" Gingrich...what a splendid idea! I can't think of anything better than listening to two guys who lost against a serial flip-flopper.

[K8-EEE]

15. Yeah and I think when Newt kept saying 'I'M GOING ALLLLLL THE WAY TO TAMPA' apparently he meant

I'm going to kiss Mitt's ass all the way to Tampa maybe he'll help me pay off all my fail. Oh yeah def listen to that guy and Perry's problem was not "attacking Bain capital" but coming across dumb as a bag of hammers, even by GOP standards, in all the debates!

[jmowreader]

17. Attacks on Bain didn't work in the primary...

...because your average GOP primary voter believes that it doesn't matter how rich people make their money.

If you tell them Bain likes to walk into a company it's bought, fire everyone there on the spot and make them reapply for their old jobs at lower rates of pay, they'll automatically decide it's because the employees were overpaid.

They also believe the lie that all the companies Bain buys are struggling and Bain makes them better; in reality, the only reason Bain would want a struggling company is to scavenge its products before sending the carcass to bankruptcy court. No, Bain wants strong companies because only strong companies can afford the management fee payments Bain demands.

[madashelltoo]

18. NICE TRY, MITTEA FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What next? Hey, look . . . up into the sky

[Arkana]

19. If they're whining this loudly Obama's hitting a nerve.

And the best part is that he's smart enough to know it.

[and-justice-for-all]

20. That is hilarius!!

Who takes advice from those two smucks.

[Mr.Turnip]

21. It's also wrong..

The Bain attacks DID work in the GOP primary, in South Carolina they brought Newt from being down double digits to winning by double digits in a week.

In Florida Romney drowned them out and responded with equally effective attacks on the fact that Newt is well, Newt.

[Tippy]

22. LOL...this comming from two losers....LOL

[PlanetBev]

23. It's obviously working

Or Perry and Newt wouldn't be so concerned with it.

[DFW]

25. Considering how well Perry and Gingrich did in the GOP primaries........

this should mean that Obama's attacks on Romney's Bain years are doing twice the damage that they had hoped for.

After all, Perry and Gingrich were SO in tune with the country's mood, right?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. Perry and Newt!! LOL! Really funny!

Wow what advice!
