A new GOP strategy

"...According to GOP sources, the decision to cede the 2012 election to Obama came after rank-and-file Republicans agreed that grinding the president down to nothing and pushing him to the brink of insanity was far more in line with the Republican Party's core principles than actually controlling the White House, making laws, or governing the country.

Republican officials said that because they won't be burdened with a time consuming presidential campaign, they can start looking beyond the 2012 general election and begin developing a four-pronged attack designed to ruin the president emotionally, physically, personally, and professionally."

Actually, I think both major parties adopted this basic theme a good while ago.

I find it sad when The Onion contains more truth than actual news sources.

Perish the thought that the GOP knows how to govern, they tried that stuff from 2000 to 2008 and look what a botch they made of it. That is why its better for the GOP to let the dems be in charge, and then the GOP can obstruct democratic governance, and that way the dems get the blame. Its simply the Peter Principle that the says, don't exceed your level of competence, as the GOP are the recognized experts in obstructionism and little else.

Of course there is a flaw in that plan, eventually the American public will wise up and quit voting for the GOP at all.

You greatly overestimate the intellectual power of the general public.

Apparently the GOP strategy is to try to get the democrats and the media to like them, no matter what the cost. Even it if means lying to and throwing their base under the bus. And of course, the democrats and the media will still blame them for everything regardless.

Ah - so, Obama DID create change.
