Big Bird, Binders & Bayonets

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 30 Comments

This new ad from the RNC is another winner:

Political scientists will look back at the “Bin Laden is dead, Big Bird is alive” approach as being one of the bigger, more embarrassing blunders in campaign strategy history right up there with this.

While we’re at it, don’t forget that Obama gear is — not unlike like median income, America’s credit rating, new home sales and the size of the US work force — now 30 percent off from four years ago:

    Bin Laden is dead. Obama's reelection chances are dying.

    Speaking of campaign blunders…Obama challenged the media to find where he has flip-flopped…..and they took the challenge (bet he didn't see that coming):

    “Political scientists will look back at the “Bin Laden is dead, Big Bird is alive” approach as being one of the bigger, more embarrassing blunders in campaign strategy history…”

    Too nutshell it, I would go well past the “Big Bird” blunder and all the way to the “the arrogant, name calling, spoiled 8 year old first one eliminated from four-square tantrum on the playground” campaign.

    It’ pretty obvious the Zero didn’t learn anything at “debate camp.” Completely un-teachable; already knows it all.

    But, there’s the fact that in the last four years he’s given himself nothing to work with in a debate.

    Taking notes, “Plane Yogurt” McCain? You should be. You lost to a zero and that makes you a negative.

    There was a similar gotcha with Debbie Washerwoman Shultz a couple days ago; she claimed that Romney never mentioned Israel in the last debate once. Nope, not "once", but more like 14 times or so, depending on who`s counting ! Apparently, she either didn`t watch the debate or hit the mute button when Mitt spoke.

    "…….., already knows it all." From "Avatar", the Queen tells the Marine as an avatar, "It`s hard to fill a cup that is already full !"

    "not unlike like median income, America’s credit rating, new home sales and the size of the US work force"

    NOW who's being petty.!? Just b/c a guy utterly FAILS to deliver on the very [false] premise upon which they were elected is no reason to judge them harshly? Yeah, like any job, we need Min. Standards before you can even be considered for re-election, retention or promotion.

    The fact we're having to spend a DIME to defeat this a-hole is a complete waste of resources. He shouldn't even be eligible.

    Of course for pathelogical liars they actually believe the nonsense coming out of their pie holes.

  8. Marshall_Will on October 24th, 2012 9:35 pm

    Must be, particularly given she's Jewish? You'd think she'd be keying in on..?

    Leftist/commie Halle Barry on being related to Sarah Palin: It is the worst thing that could ever happen to me.

    Let me tell you something Halle Barry….. I had a son die at the age of 2-1/2. That is the worst thing that has EVER happened to me in my lifetime. I could give two sh!ts who might be related to me. I would move heaven and earth to have my little guy (who would now be 35) back in my life.

    These Hollyweird celebs are just effin pathetic – period.

    Granny,

    I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear that. And she speaks such callousness to all those that have truly suffered. It also speaks to just what a sheltered existence she's been afforded, all b/c of her cheek bones.

    I know you still have "birthdays" and special occasions only you observe. Please keep him in your heart and know you'll be together again one day.

    We're talking about DWS, right?

    amen.

    Dear Supporter

    Thank you again for your kids' wedding gifts, night out with the family cash, your kids' lemonade money, and your union dues*, but there is still more I need from you.

    In the course of this campaign, I have told the truth** about that evil rich guy, Willard "Mitt" Romney, a guy so rich he can use his middle name wantonly in this racist country. I may joke about my name, which I started using to sound like a big boy, yet, it still hurts that I still can't use "Hussein".

    Anyway, I still need more of your hard earned cash, and I have a great deal for you! It's 30% off of the O logo that you've had tattooed on your nether regions, in your contact lenses, and all over your Anna Wintour clothing. Now, you can get the items we had made in a Chinese sweat shop for pennies at 30% off the previously exorbitant prices, and it's a win-win situation!

    What we'll do is take your money now, and in 3-6 weeks, send you stuff that may or may not make you the coolest person in the room. We promise! We'll keep your credit card on file to make it easy for all of us to make and receive donations to the Obama Library and Gift Shop! We'll keep you on a monthly donation, like Wounded Warrior Project, except the funds go to help real heroes, me and Michelle.

    Again, buy my merchandise at 30% off! Who knows? It's better now than on November 7th, when it'll all be 90% off, usable for scrubbing asphalt, sifting sandboxes, and picking the dog droppings in the yard. Remember to use your credit card with the farthest expiration date out, and if you're a foreign citizen, make sure to use a refillable credit card with plenty of reserve. We don't ask, so please don't tell.

    I give you my best, so I ask the same of you,

    O

    I'm thinking NOT the coolest person in the room. Besides, did your kid really need braces? Think how much they could send in if they had TWINS w/ bad teeth!

  16. Marshall_Will on October 25th, 2012 1:42 am

    Good read, not sure if I can digest all of it but obviously the attempts to paint Mitt as a raging warhawk and social issues extremist have failed miserably. Hence the shift toward ( of ALL things ) that he's wishy washy and, to paraphrase Pepe Bidet; "Oh Gawd…?" not having any 'track record to run on".

    Classic projection! The lack of hecklers at P'BO events tell us braod swaths of us have simply moved on. We don't even CARE enough to bother.

    I was referring to Zero`s habit of skipping Intel Briefings because he already knows it all and other cases.

    DWS is such an empty head and liar, she has this burning hatred of all things truth, a cup full of anything would evaporate before it did her any good.

  24. SignPainterGuy on October 25th, 2012 1:43 pm

    You`re getting really good at this. Keep `em coming, please !

    Overheard…

    DWS: What I meant was after the first 14 times, Romney didn't mention Israel once!

    You just need to have Chris Matthews as the jealous lover of O in there somewhere…
