Why Romney Can Debate Obama Only on the Issues

Yesterday, Rush was commenting that Romney had no problem "going after" Newt Gingrich on a personal level, but now he's "repudiating" his Superpac's attacks on Obama's relationship with Reverend Wright.

But really, what choice does Romney or any white politician have?

Rush should know this better than anyone.

Rush is master of his own domain when it comes to his radio show, but was he able to become a part-owner of a football team? No, he was not. Why? Well, he was accused of being a racist. Can't have any racists owning football teams.

Rush has been attacking Democrat presidents since he started his radio program. But now that he's doing the exact same thing to Obama - oh, you want Obama to fail, you're a racist. No matter how many times Rush points out it's Obama's policies that he wants to fail, everyone thinks he's saying "I want the first black President to fail."

The accusation of Racist! is a very powerful one in these United States. We can't get rid of illegal aliens in this country because that's "racist."

Police responding to a call about a black man breaking into a house can't ask that guy for ID when he claims the house belongs to him - that's racist.

Blacks (and Latinos) fail tests to become firemen and police officers, at a higher percentage than white applicants. Well, the tests are racist because they failed, and standards have to be lowered so they can get in.

Remember Maxine Waters - a few months ago? If Obama had been white, she and all the other black politicians would have been excoriating him for his dismal record, but they are afraid to do so, because he's black, and they won't excoriate him until their constituents tell them that they won't be threatened with being voted out of office if they do. In other words, even though Obama hasn't improved the black community's lot one iota, they will still vote for him because he's black, and anyone, even fellow blacks, who criticize him, will be called Racists (if white) or Uncle Toms (if black), regardless of how valid those criticisms are.

Romney wants to debate Obama strictly on the issues. Well-he should be able to win strictly on the issues, so why not?
