In response to President Obama’s call for his supporters to vote out of “revenge,” Mitt Romney turned the president’s nastiness back on him by urging his own backers to vote for “love of country.”
Here’s what Obama said on Friday:
As is often the case when he goes off-teleprompter, at a campaign stop in Ohio today, Obama revealed a side of himself we haven’t seen since Hurricane Sandy gave him the opportunity to play The American President for a few days. The old Divider-In-Chief returned with a vengeance when in the middle of an attack on Mitt Romney he told a crowd at a campaign rally to stop booing and, ” Vote! Voting’s the best revenge!”
What he obviously meant was that voting is the best revenge against Mitt Romney.
What kind of divisive, ugly rhetoric is this coming from a sitting president? It’s easy to sympathize with the fact that Obama’s record gives few reasons for anyone to vote for him; and that for that reason, he’s been forced to attempt to destroy his opponent with a half-billion dollars in negative ads — but now the President of the United States is publicly telling a crowd of Americans to vote for revenge. And not just revenge, but revenge against another American.
Romney at his massive rally last night in Ohio:
“Did you see what President Obama said today? He asked his supporters to vote for revenge — for revenge. Instead, I ask the American people to vote for love of country,” he said.
He reiterated that message in New Hampshire on Saturday. The campaign also released a new ad with that theme today:
The rally in New Hampshire was large and enthusiastic, as most Romney crowds have been the last week. The GOP is hoping that the enthusiasm can translate into victory next Tuesday in the Granite State. Recent polls give the president a slight lead but within the margin of error.
Revenge ?
If this doesn’t scare the American People, nothing will.
Revenge for what ? Against what ?
Are we talking about the basic projections of the average psycho ?
Scary…
President Romney was probably seeking anticipatory revenge for the perceived damage that President Romney would do if elected, or revenge for Governor Romney’s horrid insult of challenging his reelection. Neither makes much sense, but then that’s habitual.
Revenge = more victim talk. All Dem constituencies feast on victimhood. It’s who they are: society’s victims, fat-cats’ victims, the system’s victims. You name it.
“voting is the best revenge.” BLT Marxism in a nut shell.
You know, I am beginning to think this Obama chap is quite the douche.
I don’t know whether Romney will win or lose on Tuesday. I have my intuition that he will win through, but in a race this close, I do harbor some doubts.
But after this campaign, Romney certainly deserves to win and Obama certainly deserves to lose. Romney has just been a far better candidate than most anyone thought capable. He’s exceeded the hopes and expectations of his supporters.
Obama, on the other hand, has been an awful candidate. So much worse than his 2008 campaign, when he had the wind at his back. No matter what you may think of the Left-Lib-Prog-Dem project, he has let his supporters down in countless ways.

Revenge.
The best summary yet of the Fraud’s platform…and of why he appeals to the thugs and malcontents who flock to his cult. And sadly, I’m not sure it’s just a function of the Fraud himself. There are many others who are just as determined as he is to destroy the United States. I’m not talking about foreign enemies either. I’m talking about top-level Democrats.
Guys, the commentary here is as enlightning as the article itself. In short it is not a narrative, but a conversation and at times a debate. It is rare that a person can find such friends and fellow men and women who share an ideal of freedom in the way expressed here at PJM.
None-the-less, I have made preparations for 4 more years of obama and a democratic Senate. I did not sell the farm, I bought another one. It seemed the prudent thing to do. Just got the new/old tractor yesterday. That tractor changes everything. So it goes.
Kind of strange how things work out. If you break our human existence down to it’s most basic level it really does boil down to whether you can hunt and fish or till some dirt. I am prepared to do both.
However we get thru this massive debt, there will be a reckoning with what we believe to be important in this short span we have on this Earth. But it must stop here. I would be immoral to pass this debt to our children and grand children.
Vote. And vote wisely. Either way it is going to hurt for each and every American as an individual. That is a given. Hard times are ahead. Make no bones about it.
It is time to reign the government in and remind them who the boss is.
We The People.
That is step one.
You as well as others

I’m too old and too broke so I ‘just’ trust in our sovereign GOD.
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”

So Mitt Romney is asking people to vote for him “for love of country.” That message implies that those voting for Obama somehow do not love their country, or at least not as much as they should. That comes sickeningly close to the “You’re either with us or you’re against us” garbage that George W. Bush spewed at our allies in the fight against terrorism.
Well, I got news for Mitt Romney. I’m voting for love of country, too. And I’m voting for President Barack Obama. Why? Because I love my country. And I love the positive, progressive changes that have happened to it during the last four years. And I look forward to at least four more years of positive, progressive change in this nation I love.
