The Obama regime has launched a brutal assault on Mitt Romney. The Progressives have lied about Romney’s role in Bain Capital from 99-2002. Even the MSM says they are lying but it doesn’t matter. Obama smells blood and is going for the kill. These attacks have left Romney reeling. He has been unable to launch a good counter attack. But more is to come.
This week the final installment of the new Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises, is set to be released. The villain is named Bane. In the comic books he broke Batman’s back. Now the Obama Regime will use the movie to go after Romney. They are claiming that Mitt Romney through Bain will break America’s back.
This summer’s much-anticiapted Hollywood blockbuster, “The Dark Knight Rises,” is getting an unusual boost from Democrats and other foes of Mitt Romney who are eager to tie the Gotham crushing villain to the GOP presidential candidate. Their angle: the mask-wearing, “Venom” gas breathing bad guy has a name that sounds just like Romney’s former investment firm that President Obama has been blasting as a jobs killer.
“Bane” is the terrorist in the new movie who drives the caped crusader out of semi-retirement in the final Batman movie. Democrats, who believe they have Romney on the ropes over the president’s assault on his leadership at Bain Capital, said the comparisons are too rich to ignore.
“It has been observed that movies can reflect the national mood,” said Democratic advisor and former Clinton aide Christopher Lehane. “Whether it is spelled Bain and being put out by the Obama campaign or Bane and being out by Hollywood, the narratives are similar: a highly intelligent villain with offshore interests and a past both are seeking to cover up who had a powerful father and is set on pillaging society,” he added.

Conservative commentator Jed Babbin told Secrets, “Now we have the new Batman movie with super-villain Bane, the comic book bad guy who broke the Bat’s back. How long will it take for the Obama campaign to link the two, making Romney the man who will break the back of the economy? Romney can’t win if he’s constantly on the defensive,” he said.
Even GOP advisor Frank Luntz jumped into the fray. “Hollywood does it again,” he told Secrets. “[Romney] had to know all this was coming and he should have done a lot more to prepare for it.”
Mitt Romney needs to hit back harder on Obama. Right now, Obama is totally whipping his butt and everyone knows it. One idea I have is for Romney to bring up Obama’s involvement in the nuclear freeze movement in the early 80′s. Romney should mention that it was funded by the Soviets. Another option is to compare Obama to the Batman villain Bane. Point out that like Bane, Obama is terrorizing America. Romney should even compare himself to Bruce Wayne/Batman. He is a rich person who is sacrificing himself for the greater good.
This is not panic, but a warning. Romney needs to hit Obama hard soon. Email the Romney campaign and let the know. We want a fighter not a gentleman.

Here’s what I wrote them:
“To Whom it may Concern:
I hear the Обама campaign is going to use the upcoming Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises”, and its main villain, against Governor Romney. I say Fight Fire With Fire…if they so insist, then perhaps your campaign should use the previous film’s villain…THE JOKER…as Обама!”
And yes, I used my trademark Russki scripting of the guy who sits in the Oval Office right now….
This smacks of desperation. Obama’s internal polls, where they don’t oversample the Democrats by nine points, must truly suck. That doesn’t mean we have it in the bag, but it is good news. I like seeing Obama desperate. I hope he gets more desperate as the election draws nearer. Desperate people make mistakes.
@ Iron Fist:
What I hope we can all see in the Televised Debates (that is, if Обама agrees to do them) is to see the SCOAMF lose his cool!
Considering how stupid The Zero has been lately, Romney’s commercials just write themselves.
Is anybody here saying that Romney is not in deep trouble politically? Rodan, you know better. Romney has got a lot of explaining to do.

@ Speranza:
He is tied in polls that radically oversample Democrats. It is time for Romney to go on the offensive though. No gloves. Politics is War. Romney needs to destroy Obama. I’d start playing an ad showing Obama saying he’d be a one term president if he didn’t fix the economy and then display the unemployment graph that shows how bad it really is. By Obama’s own criteria he doesn’t deserve a second term. Make that something people hear endlessly.

Can the presidential race get any more inane? Apparently so. That the Obama campaign (or its surrogates) continues to insinuate felonies and lies where there’s nothing but the minutiae of corporate paperwork and now even considers tying a friggin’ Batman villain to Romney because “the narratives are similar” is the essence of self-parody.
“Yeah, that shaved headed, gas-breathing mass murderer in the Batman movie has a name that sounds just like Romney’s old company, so I’m gonna stick with Obama…….just to be safe. We can’t afford to risk having a shaved headed gas-breathing mass murderer in the White House -- we barely survived Bush!”
It’s like a cheesy reality show. Was it Rush that called this the “Kardashian Administration”? Whomever it was, good call.
Settle down guys, the conventions are a month away yet. Besides, every day the Bamster gives a speech, it is the best Romney ad money doesn’t need to buy. The latest of the Zero in Virginia telling Americans that anything they’ve ever accomplished is because the benevolent Government made it happen has been on a constant rotation since Friday. Can’t wait to see that in an ad.

Btw how does The One explain the massive unemployment and the fact that more people are on food stamps now then ever before (as well as fewer people are working now then were working in January 2009)? He fucked up in the Middle East by encouraging the overthrow of Mubarak, failed to support the Iranian students, sucks up to the fascist Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and oh I forgot, a thing called Fast & Furious. Even the Washington Post called the Bain charges ludicrous and Bill Clinton praised his tenure at Bain. How come Obama never worked in private industry instead of working for the government or academia all his life and being a community organizer shake down artist? I am not a Romney fan at all because I don’t care for liberal politics and Romney (as well as the Bush family) is really one of yours, but I would take him any day of the week over Obama and twice on Sundays.

The polls show a statistical tie, even without getting into the methodology of them. You’re crazy if you think Obama is going to get as high a percentage as he did in 2008. He may win, but it won’t be by much. And he won’t have coattails. We probably will get the Senate.

If Obama’s allegedly doing so well at the polls, why does their campaign strategy include linking Romney to a Batman movie villain? Is this a move made by confident (not to mention competent) people?
@ theoutsider:
Where does one get the drugs you take that make you so obviously delusional? With the Democrats needing to defend 23 out of 33 seats this time around, most of those in red states, there is no way the Dems keep the Senate.
I predict Romney cleans up a 42 State romp with 54% of the vote. The Dems, most especially since Obamacare is still a bad taste in the Nation’s mouth, will lose a full 9 seats in the Senate. This will give the GOP 54 for its caucus. I also predict a net gain of 10 House seats for the GOP.
My prediction for 2010 was right on, and I made that one in November of 2008. How did you do?
Now we just need to decide terms. Start putting your ideas out there. What do you want if you win?

No way that Mack beats Nelson in Florida. McCaskill is on the fence in Nissouri She could lose. I’m betting probably. I think Baldwin wins in Wisconsin, Kerry loses in Nebraska, Kaine wins in Virginia, and North Dakota is still a toss up. But, Elizabeth Warren is definitely going to win in Massachusetts, and I think Berkeley is going to win in Nevada.
@ theoutsider:
You can say goodbye to Ben Nelson in Florida, the people in that State are too smart for the old Blue Dog lie.
Claire McCaskill made it a point to let her constituents in Missouri know that she cares little for their wishes during the Healthcare debate. She made it a point to tell them that despite their being against the sink hole of a law, she fully intended to inflict it upon them anyhow. Goodbye Claire.
Jim Webb promised to be a conservative, and after more than a few messages from Red Virginia, he is not even bothering to run again. This state will be a GOP pickup
We here in Ohio, those who live outside of Cuyahoga County anyhow are more than fed up with the Marxist hypocrisy of Sherrod Brown, Josh Mandel will win come November.
Pennsylvania is turning, this is the election when the Western half of the state reclaims the lead over the Commies who live East, this will spell retirement for Bob Casey.
North Dakota also says goodbye to its supposed Blue Dog, pretending to be a conservative Democrat will not save Kent Conrad, wish him well for me, won’t you.
Ben Nelson was finished in Nebraska even before 2010 got started. His state has been xing days on their calendars waiting to fire him. In Nebraska, the GOP could have run Rin Tin Tin and picked up this seat. As it is, they ran a real live human person with an R after his name.
Jeff Bingaman will lose in New Mexico, the entirety of the Democrat Party apparatchiks are embroiled in a nasty scandal there, and just having that D after your name spells relief of duties.
Montana, much like Nebraska has been counting down Tester’s time. He ran also as a conservative Democrat, and promptly made a sharp left turn once in office. The now discredited mantra of I’m fiscally conservative and socially liberal will not work this time, the free people of Montana are rightfully pissed.
I am not for certain, but this may be the year that the State of Washington finally breaks out for the GOP. The last three cycles have been razor sharp victories for the party of Darkness, Maria Cantwell may be victimized by the Red Wave across the fruited plains.
We’ll lose Maine, and good riddance to Olympia Snowe, she voted more often with the Democrats anyhow. At least this way we won’t have to give her treasonous ass any good committee spots when we take control.
Massachusetts used to be in the loss column for me, but Elizabeth Warren and her claims of being 1/32nd Cherokee have made her a laughing stock.
Four of these races are toss ups truly, Pa, Ma, NM, and Wa. I’ll wager that two fall blue and two red, with a net increase of 8, count em 8, Senate seats for our side.
Same thing is going on here in Texas only its a RINO inside the money cult Republican David Dewhurst doing the bashing via vile fraud/lie adds aginst Ted Curz. Ted has Dewhurst beat by 7 or more points and just like Obama he is lashing out blindly attempting to get any thing to stick.
Obama is a skank and so is Dewhurst.
Both Romney and Cruz need to keep their honor intact.

Why yes I do. Outside of the Ahstabula, Cleveland, Lorain, Toledo corridor, Ohio is an extremely red kind of place. The support for Brown in all but Cleveland and Lorain is waning. His record sucks, and he has made some mighty unpopular votes. Our base is fired up much much more than it was in the 2006 wave that sent him to Washington. Sherrod returns this year to his private life, which consists of scheming of ways to get elected somewhere else. He’ll join Tim Hagan in being a County Commissioner, which is where Cuyahoga County Democrat Politicians go to die. They can still bilk millions from the tax payers, and the FBI only raids once a decade or so.
