If Romney's PAC's go after Obama on Wright then we should go all out on Mitt's Religion

[WI_DEM]

The New York Times reports a group of "high-profile Republican strategists is working with a conservative billionaire on a proposal to mount one of the most provocative campaigns of the super PAC era and attack President Obama in ways that Republicans have so far shied away from."

"Timed to upend the Democratic National Convention in September, the plan would 'do exactly what John McCain would not let us do,' the strategists wrote. The plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign."

First Read: "One, the advertising campaign -- if it aired -- would consume the Obama-Romney race for a week or more. Forget the economy, the deficit, even gay marriage; this ad would bury everything else. Think Swift Boats on steroids. Two, it's questionable the campaign would work. While we know that there are conservatives who want to portray Obama as a socialist tied to people who hate America, his actual record over the past four years -- championing legislation that once had GOP support (stimulus, health-care reform, even cap-and-trade) and killing Osama bin Laden - doesn't back-up the conspiratorial narrative portrayed in this plan."

1. There is no need for the Democrats to waste money on that, everyone knows mittens religion. What

they need to go on the attack on is how the policies of the republicans through the years caused the economic collapse we are in right now.

How the republicans hidden agenda has been to privatize social security and medicare, and how their policies have caused a destabilization of the entire middle east, and directly responsible for the high price of energy

2. Bravo! Bring it, Repigs! Let's air out all that Mormon

dirty laundry, because we all know sunshine is the best disinfectant.

And, civic-mindedness aside, nothing like sowing the seeds of cognitive dissonance among evangelicals tempted to vote for Romney because they hate blacks more than they hate Mormons.

3. Yep. And step on the gas.

4. The easy way to do this is to promote fundies that are happy to call Mormonism a cult

publicly.

There are lots of fundies struggling with the potential of eternal damnation if they vote for a Mormon. They've already decided that Obama is a scary Muslim. If they decide that Mitt is potentially an agent of the Anti-Christ, they'll stay home.

They only respond to fear anyway, might as well scare them when ever we can.

5. "a conservative billionaire"

Amazing how these hot-shot chickenshits don't have enough courage of their so-called convictions to actually put their name on their products. What are they afraid of?

I know. Everything. Especially that mean ol' scary black man in the White House.

For so-called "captains of industry," they sure are pathetic.

6. Does Mittens really want to go there

given the theological skeletons in the LDS closet? Better think this one through a little more.

7. If that's what it takes to keep the Supreme Court from taking us back to the dark ages

for the next 20 years, so be it. The stakes in November are pretty high.

8. They will, and we should!

By any means necessary.

10. This $ is the symbol of the religion we ought to be going after Mitt on.

That is Mitt's weak spot. You'll win a lot more votes going after his Bain record than going after Mormonism.

11. Wright should sue them.
