Today I learned of the incredible power of negative politics. It works! Today I saw Mitt Romney, an incredibly decent man lose to the sleaziest politician America has ever produced.
Mitt Romney did an excellent Reagan imitation. Speak the truth politely and let the people decide. The high road was no match for the gutter. Obama, one of the worst two or three presidents in US history, launched a quarter million dollar character assassination against Mitt Romney. It worked. It worked absurdly well.
The fact that the character assassination was based on lies means absolutely nothing to the voter. Nothing at all. They said Romney was a murderer. Lie. They said Romney was a felon. Lie. They said Romney was a tax cheat. Lie. They said Romney was a misogynist. Lie. Now let's face the truth. It is strategically advantageous to lie.
The Reagan model does not hold up in the Springer era. Truth is silly putty and we better get used to it. The Republicans have been aping Ronald Reagan for much too long. If they ever get serious about winning, they will mimic Barack Hussein Obama.
There will be no lies at this blog because I respect the reader more than Obama respects the voter. But we will be less genteel in the future. Hope and change.
