Related: About this forumClinton Urged Change in Attacks on Romney
For months, Bill Clinton has argued that the Obama re-election campaign should stop attacking Mitt Romney as a flip-flopper, Politico reports.
"A more effective strategy, Clinton has told anyone who would listen, would be to focus almost exclusively on Romney's description of himself as a 'severe conservative,' to deny him any chance to tack back to the center."

The "severe conservative" line was classic. Everyone knows he's a flip-floper ayway.

(904 posts)I remember the moment I first saw the pic of him on his super yacht; it was a face palm moment. I like John Kerry and he is a real war hero, but none of that can erase the fact that he married into wealth and is very comfortable there.
We should constantly remind people that RMoney is the Richie Rich candidate. Out of touch, empty suit, who made his money as a vulture capitalist. Buying up companies and laying people off for profit. Don't let him get away with his fake "successful businessman" persona. It's all a slimy lie.
Also, we have to encourage RMoney to prove that he is a funny likeable guy....Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
