The Fainting Couch: Obama Aides Mull Calling GOP Extremist

By Big Tent Democrat

Do we need to get one ready for weenie liberals? Apparently the Post Partisan Unity Schtick will be nothing but a bad memory -- Obama aides mull calling GOP extremist:

President Obama’s political advisers, looking for ways to help Democrats and alter the course of the midterm elections in the final weeks, are considering a range of ideas, including national advertisements, to cast the Republican Party as all but taken over by Tea Party extremists, people involved in the discussion said. [. . .] “We need to get out the message that it’s now really dangerous to re-empower the Republican Party,” said one Democratic strategist who has spoken with White House advisers but requested anonymity to discuss private strategy talks.

(Emphasis supplied.) Weenie liberals are worried:

The party’s House and Senate campaign committees are resistant, not wanting to do anything that smacks of nationalizing the midterm elections when high unemployment and the drop in Mr. Obama’s popularity have made the climate so hostile to Democrats.

That's why Dems will get creamed in November.

Speaking for me only
