Romney, desperate and hungry for more power, goes full throttle on the dog whistle and Southern Strategy train. His advisers state that the Obama-occupied “White House” cannot appreciate the Anglo-Saxon heritage shared between Britain and the U.S. This campaign is about to get real ugly, folks — ugly as in base and morally unconscionable. Ugly as in Romney will divest himself of all humanity and morality to win this election.
From The Telegraph:
As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing America’s enemies in his first foreign policy speech of the election campaign, advisers told The Daily Telegraph that he would abandon Mr Obama’s “Left-wing” coolness towards London.
In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested Mr Romney was better placed to understand the ties between the countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa. “We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
Mr Romney today embarks on an overseas tour of Britain, Israel and Poland designed to quash claims by Mr Obama’s team that he is a “novice” in foreign affairs. It comes four years after Mr Obama’s own landmark foreign tour, which attracted thousands of supporters.
