The
simple explanation for what happened on Election Day is that the American
people voted for President Barack Obama because they didn’t understand
the nature of his Marxist agenda. But it is inconceivable that the public
would, on a fully informed and rational basis, choose a political ideology
that guarantees American economic decline and foreign policy retreat.
Fortunately,
there is a record of how this happened. The New York Daily News said
that GOP strategist Karl Rove, who raised $330 million for his Super PAC
to guarantee Mitt Romney’s victory and win Republican control of
the Senate, had been advising Republicans to avoid calling Obama a socialist
or left-winger. Rove believed that undecided, moderate or left-leaning
voters would jump to Obama’s side if that charge were leveled against
him.
“If
you say he’s a socialist, they’ll go to defend him,”
Rove
said. “If you call him a ‘far out left-winger,’
they’ll say, ‘no, no, he’s not.’” Rove said
Romney had to remain “focused on the facts and adopt a respectful
tone” toward Obama.
We see
where this got Romney. He was respectful toward Obama, especially in the
third presidential debate, but got savaged by the media in the process.
A wake-up
call to Romney came on September 21, when Democratic consultant Pat Caddell
gave
a speech at the AIM “ObamaNation” conference and basically
warned Romney and his advisers that he had to confront liberal media bias
immediately and alert the American people to the facts about the national
security crisis in the Middle East that were being carefully concealed
and covered up.
