IMO, this is the only strategy the GOP has right now. Why aren't they spending time tauting the reasons Romney deserves the office, rather than playing the 'not Obama' card?

I actually have this same question regarding Obozo. Why isn't he running on his record of accomplishment rather than just bashing Romney?

We know Obama's record. We don't know what Romney will do differently.

Since you know Obozo's record so well please elaborate on the reasons that he deserves a second term based on that record.

Because his "record of accomplishments" were/are not in the interest of the country or it's citizens?

I'm undecided, so I am not tauting either candidate. Just disappointed with the course of the Romney campaign. Surely he has more to offer.

Because it worked in 2010 and they see no reason to expect it won't work now.

They've been assiduously working to create an aura of fear about Obama for 4 years and have worked against him on every major issue since he took office to prevent him having any accomplishments to run on. They're banking upon their supporters to react emotionally to the fear and not notice that they've torpedoed the nation in order to gain power again.
