First, let me say how proud I am of our Democratic team. Finally, we are playing offense and grasping that no matter what we do, team republicon will never, ever cease to protect the uber-rich at all costs.
With the effective strategy coming from President Obama and supported by some Democrats my recommended talking points list will be in support of their existing plan.
Just watched a few minutes of CNN and MSNBC and man there are a lot or republicons on, and I especially admire Michael Steele. A man who says nothing, accomplished nothing yet he's everywhere.
One pointy haired republicon found the new Romney attack ad, where he is singing America the Beautiful, "disgusting". And here is his reason:
"I don't see the President singing patriotic songs, at least Mitt Romney has the guts to sing patriotic songs".
My recommended response: "The ad also showed how Romney outsourced jobs to China. Helping the Chinese is not patriotic. President Obama helped Americans keep their jobs, like General Motors while Mitt Romney fired Americans and hired Chinese workers. Mr. Romney clearly does not believe in America".
Another China talking point: "Mitt Romney declares he will get tough on China, but if he does, how will that affect his Chinese workers at Bain?"
My next recommendation is video of the twin towers, burning then cut into George Bush, stating he will hunt down the people responsible. Then cut into President Obama announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden. Cut back to Bush, saying he does not really think about Bin Laden. Go back to President Obama, saying he got Bin Laden one more time.
Speaking of George W. Bush, every time the economy is mentioned, which is a lot obviously, our pundits need to say "the Republican economic collapse under Republican President Bush."
I bet that team Obama is saving Bush/Cheney for the last round of ads near the time ballots are mailed, and I hope so. Notice how every time Bush is mentioned, the republicons change the subject? Use it, use it often.
Next is the economy: Show the graph of jobs being lost when President Obama took office, and how it has grown once he took office. Cut into Romney saying he cannot be held accountable for his first year as Governer of Massachusetts, then how he was 47 in jobs growth during his term.
In addition, talk about the ACA, and how it will spark the economy and remind people - WITH HEALTH INSURANCE - that they soon cannot be dropped from coverage, that they have been PAYING FOR, ever again due to ACA and the commitment from the Democrats to helping the middle class.
Now, the War on Women. - This is huge, huge and screw the DNC for being corporate toadies and afraid to use this effective and true talking point.
Use video spliced together showing the myriad of state legislators voting against women's health care and reproductive rights. Then show Romney, declaring he will end Planned Parenthood funding.
Keep up the message about the war on women.
While we're at it, create a commercial with Romney's statement about Planned Parenthood, along with his recent statement to African Americans and Latinos that "if they want free stuff, vote for the other guy". Then ask, "Free stuff". Why the banks, big oil and big insurance receive subsidies and tax breaks every day. Who is getting the free stuff?" - Finish with Romeny's record of subsidies at Bain.
Then, can we please remind people that the "job creators" have it pretty good and that we have given tax breaks to the rich for 30 years now, and the only time we had a strong economy was under Democratic President Bill Clinton?
Romney as a flip flopper - This video has been done, but keep splicing together his lies and the truth, along with his change in positions. - (More than an adult film star.)
Also, I recently watched a pointy haired republicon defend the voting restrictions being implemented by republicon governers by saying, "Mexico, France, and other countries require I.D. - Hammer them with American Exceptionalism.
Something like: "They want us to copy other countries? What is next, Romney copying China, since he loves China so much."
Hope any one of these ideas have value and help. But for the love of all that is good, use the facts, use VIDEO, and stay on the offensive.
Folks, there is so much to use, the republicons have gone off the deep end and as long as their tactic is the Atwater, Gingrich, Limbaugh tactic of doing the opposite of what a Democratic would do, we have them contradicting themselves time and time again. Use it.
Also, Rush Limbaugh. I see that David Axelrod tweeted that Romney is afraid of Limbaugh. Use Limbaugh's name, over and over again in association with Romney. Make Romney issue a statement about Rush, and if he says Rush is good, use it.
If he says Rush if bad, use it.
If he says Rush is an entertainer and not relevant, use it.
It is win-win.
Now go get them, and never apologize for ACA. Never. Keep talking about the middle class and ask the Reagan Democrats if they want to learn Chinese because if Romney has his way, they will have to in order to get a job.
