Between now and November: Take down Mitt Romney

[Elwar]

According to this: http://www.dailypaul.com/252344/doug-wead-romney-threatened-ron-paul-with-pr-a-bomb
Romney threatened to use all of his resources to tear down Ron Paul, essentially destroying our movement.

Their scripted attack on us at the convention, and all else that they did to destroy us leaves us with only one option between now and November.

Destroy any chance that Mitt Romney has of becoming our next president.

Screw the small arguments of "write in Ron Paul" or "vote for Johnson". We need one focus and one focus only. Hit Mitt Romney with everything we have.

This is not saying, join Obama and the liberals who will be attacking Romney for "wanting to get rid of Medicare".

This is saying, we hit Republicans over and over about how bad of a choice Romney is that they do like they did in 2008 with McCain and just stay home.

We need strategies for every one of our family members or people who we meet who say "At least he's not Obama!" or "All that matters is that Obama is gone.". Romney has done half of the work for us. I have never met a pro-Romney Republican. Only anti-Obama Republicans. We need to show them that, even though Obama sucks, Romney is a piece of sh!t.

This is something we all need to get behind. This is like Black This Out/5th of November/Tea Party Day all rolled into one.

We need to do something huge, and take down Mitt Romney.

The most effective way to hit Romney where it hurts would be in the swing states. Tipping just a few out of his column is all it takes. Promoting Johnson in these places or just attacking Romney without any partisan/candidate label attached could do it.

I think this is necessary. I don't think he's got a very good chance.

It may look good for him right now, but them dems are going to swing that next week. Whatever bump he gets will be gone.

I think it will be better long term for us if we are not part of it. Just my opinion, though, I'm open to be persuaded.

I live in Florida in a very heavy Republican county. All I hear is "Obama sucks" from anyone I talk to. I need a list of Mitt Romney faults that the typical redneck would cower away from.

Saying that he is in the pocket of the banks and that he wants to go to war with China and Iran just gets them excited.

RomneyCare may be Romney's biggest weakness against those who hate Obama.

We need to get all the people on here and the DP who are trolling for GJ votes to put their focus on a handful of states where GJ could crack 15%, like NM and NV. If they actually went out there and went door to door, they could make it a legitimate 3-way race in those states.

Virginia and Ohio needs to go to Obama.

 

[Q11Q]

My tactic to ruin Romney's coronation is to stake out a news site that allows comments in a swing state and post anti-Romney material, such as articles and videos, that illustrate his attacks on the Tea Party. We need to inform and educate the voters about what he is doing. Ridiculing Romney is a plus, too.

What is Romney gonna "replace" Obamacare with?

 

[RDM]

I agree. Everything or anything should be done to prevent him from EVER reaching the White House. If that means a coordinated push to vote for Obama, so be it. I honestly believe Johnson does not have enough support nationwide to win the election. Our focus needs to be a calculated and strategic move to knock Mittens and the GOP down.

 

[TheTexan]

Absolutely. Destroy him. I want it to be known to all that when Romney loses, it was us that did it.

 

[amonasro]

It's on. Take down that arrogant sob.

I really don't care who wins in 2012 now. I get ruin the RNC to "show them" but really whoever wins, Obama or Romney the nation is going to be greatly hurt by them. If you feel passionately about it though go for it! I hope your efforts pay off.

 

[No1butPaul]

Tell people they should vote for Romney IF they are ready to go into WWIII against Russia and Iran (probably China too) and have their boys AND girls drafted into the military. Then, they should vote for Romney.

Operation Blowback does different things in different states. The goal is to ensure a Romney loss, while simultaneously getting liberty candidates into office. There's a lot of people looking for something to do right now, we should direct them here.

If Romney wins, it will be almost impossible to primary him in 2016. Thus, it is advantageous to keep the other guy in office for the time being.

If we outwardly get involved with this effort, it will likely cause a lot of blowback for our current and future liberty candidates.

Is it worth it?

I think this is a VERY important consideration.

A note to all: even if we stay home with our thumbs in our ears, when Romney loses we will be blamed. They're going to scapegoat us till the end of time. Forget trying to stay out of harms way, there's no such thing.

So we need to get out in front of it. We need to OWN this. Rather than scampering about hoping we don't get blamed, we should make a point of it: "Hey GOP, in exchange for treating us and our candidate so poorly, say goodbye to 2012. Have fun losing."

Own it.

Because if we own it properly, with a nice anti-campaign slogan and a powerful message, we undermine their ability to slander us. Sure, some will still try, but if we continue to own it, it changes the conversation.

Them: It was the Ron Paul people
Us: no it wasn't (sheepishly)
We get blamed forever.

Them: It was the Ron Paul people
Us: Yes. We destroyed you, because we have the power to and you deserved it.
We are empowered.

I think his biggest Achielles heal which no Republican I have ever met has been able to justify is RomneyCare.

Perhaps we could have a huge RomneyCare day.

Not a moneybomb but a RomneyCare bomb.

Any thoughts on something we could do that would get a lot of attention to highlight Romney's Health Care bill?

How about compiling all of our grassroots anti Romney videos, Romney's voting record, etc. and how the Romney camp put it for Doug Wead, give every news outlet from mainstream to your everyday college blog news paper "A PR A-Bomb" for Mittens. As someone had already stated in another post, this country is going to go down, and I'd rather it go down on Obama's watch than R Money's watch because a fall on Rmoney's watch, as fake as he is, will give true free market capitalism a huge black eye diminishing our Liberty movement.
