The Progressives have developed the politics of personal destruction. They destroyed the Presidency of George Bush and other Republican figures. Rather than emulate this successful tactic the Republican Party thinks Politics is a civil game.
A memo has been sent from the RNC to their allies for them not to personally attack the false messiah. They have bought into the Obama as deity myth the Left has created. The GOP fails to realize that to defeat Obama you must take away his aura of deity. The only way to do this is to attack Obama the person and make him lose his cool. Then he will become a mortal politician and be vulnerable. Instead, the Progressive controlled RNC will play by civil rules.
Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.
“We’re hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks” personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of polling firm the Tarrance Group, said on the call. “There’s a lot of people who feel sorry for him.”

Voters “don’t think he’s an evil man who’s out to change the United States” for the worse–even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should “exercise some caution” when talking about the president personally.
On the call–which Yahoo News was invited to attend because of a mistake by someone on the staff of the Republican National Committee–Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George W. Bush, encouraged Republicans to turn around Democratic attacks lobbed at the GOP presidential candidates (Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, for starters) for “flip-flopping.”
Read the rest: On private call, Republicans say attacking Obama personally is too dangerous
No wonder the Democrats eat the Republicans lunch. The GOP is a Party controlled by a bunch of spineless progressive cowards. If the GOP loses the election in 2012 because they refuse to fight the false messiah, Conservatives will need to find a new home.
Obama can be beaten. The way to do it is to destroy him personally. The politics of personal destruction works.
Update: Formercorpsman makes a great observation!
This comment was spot on! I will add, the GOP needs to hire a good PR firm as well.
