How old are the people running Willard Romney's campaign, five? Seriously, according to Buzzfeed, this is how they're dealing with Team Obama's accusations that the Republican was an "outsourcing pioneer":
In a conference call Monday morning, senior staff said Romney's surrogates would stop shying away from the word "lie" in responding to Democrats' attacks on his business record, and plan to go on TV to call Obama a "liar," the source said.
"They are very fed up with these attacks," said the source.
The pushback comes after a week of hand-wringing among GOP elite, who worry that Romney is letting Obama's attacks — which seek to undermine the very rationale for the Republican's candidacy, his private sector experience — gain traction without any serious effort to rebut them.
We're sick of fretting and whining! Waaah! So, okay then, see, Mr. President's campaign, since you dare to call Willard an outsourcer (which is true), well... well... we'll show YOU! We'll... umm... we'll... we'll call you a liar! Ha! So there!
Gee, that's original. And classy. Nobody's ever done that before, how novel:
Hey Mitt, know why the Obama campaign's attacks are gaining traction? Because there is so much evidence to support the claims, and so much evasion on your part. So rather than provide facts to rebut what everyone already knows to be true, you're going to offer a juvenile response without ever providing specifics about anything.
By the way, where are those tax returns?
So, Willard "Mitt" Romney, when you're on the defensive, whenever the truth hurts, whenever you have no credible response, simply call the President of the United States names. How respectful, mature and, oh yes, presidential.
