Gibbs: Romney campaigning like 'prep school bully'

<..> The Obama adviser blamed Romney’s campaign for the negative tone of the presidential campaign, asserting “Mitt Romney had a strategy during the primaries. He used negative ads to destroy Rick Perry. He used negative ads to destroy Newt Gingrich. He used negative ads to destroy Rick Santorum. We’re not going to let him play his tried-and-true role as prep school bully. We’re going to certainly respond.”

Gibbs is great. We won't be bullied.

Why Romney keeps attacking things Obama didn’t say
By Greg Sargent

Mitt Romney’s ongoing distortion of Obama’s “didn’t build that” quote has been debunked by FactCheck.org, Politifact, the Associated Press, and many others. Romney’s other leading distortion of the moment — his use of Obama’s claim that “our” plan “worked,” in which Obama was talking about the Clinton/Obama approach to taxes, not Obama’s economic policies — was dismantled convincingly today by Post fact checker Glenn Kessler.

So how is the Romney campaign responding? Easy. It will make both quotes central to the campaign for the coming week, and likely beyond.

<..> Why does Romney continue to base much of his campaign on attacks on things Obama never said? The simplest answer is that Romney needs to obscure the true nature of the differences between the two men.


<..> What Obama pointed out in the disputed “our plan” quote is that the Clinton years disprove Romney’s notion that raising high end taxes will cripple growth. And so the Romney campaign needs to mislead people about the true nature of the common ground between Clinton and Obama on taxes, by arguing alternately that Obama was talking about his own policies, or that Obama has no business associating his record with Clinton’s.

Willard's handlers are severely lying bastards....and so is he.

He has advisers that lied us into a war with Iraq. Lying to win an election is like the children's game "King of the Hill" by comparison.

of doing their job. That is why the Romney campaign is falling apart. He has surrounded himself with yes people instead of people who will tell him the truth.

My advice...carry on Mitt and advisors....carry on..
