Rove Politics

(via Halperin) Rove politics says you should take your weaknesses and attack the opponent on the same issues - it's like "projection" in psychology. Well, take a look at how McCain uses it:

Speaking at a McCain-Palin rally in Columbus, the Arizonan accuses his rival of misleading voters on taxes during Friday’s debate:

“Senator Obama is a fan of all that spending because he’s always cheering for higher taxes or against tax relief… My friends, we need a President who will always tell the American people the truth.”

Also slams Obama’s response to the economic crisis:

“Senator Obama took a very different approach to the crisis our country faced. At first he didn’t want to get involved. Then he was ‘monitoring the situation.’ That’s not leadership, that’s watching from the sidelines.”
