Frank J. has already written the New York Times campaign editorial for them:
And then there’s [Republican nominee]‘s opinion [Republican nominee view 2]. It’s almost hard to believe. He/she is basically proposing to set the rights of [protected group] back one hundred years. How can someone in this day and age actually argue [Republican nominee view 2]? This is once again thinking that is stuck in the past and won’t continue to move the country forward like President Obama has done. Plus it’s well known that [talking point on Republican nominee view 2].
As for the economy, what has [Republican nominee] proposed? [Republican nominee proposal for the economy]. You have to be kidding me. It’s a lopsided tax cut for the rich at the expense of the poor and the elderly. Obviously, [Republican nominee] is beholden to the unreasonable, extreme views of the Tea Party. His/her ideas are nothing like the balanced approach Obama has proposed with [Obama economic proposal, if available]. Only that approach will continue the progress Obama has already made.
One has to wonder about the intelligence of someone who would believe such radical views as [Republican nominee view 1] and [Republican nominee view 2] and has an economic plan of [Republican nominee proposal for the economy]. People used to question Bush’s intelligence in jest, but at least he was educated at Yale and Harvard and thus had some wisdom about the world. [Republican nominee], on the other hand, is truly a dunce, as we’ve seen with such statements as [gaffe 1] and [gaffe 2]. Does anyone really think [demeaning nickname for Republican nominee] stacks up against the intelligence and poise of President Obama?
And some of the things [Republican nominee] has said that aren’t outright stupid are quite scary. Like when he/she said [Republican nominee statement using the words “black” or “dark” — just something that could be argued to be racist; be creative]. This is obviously a dog whistle to rally people who have a problem with the American president being black. And then he/she said [Republican nominee statement about religion, such as praying to God for guidance]; [Republican nominee] obviously doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state and wants to make this country a theocracy. America doesn’t need its own Taliban.
I’m sure they’ll appreciate it — it will save them a lot of work. You’d think they might be a little concerned about how predictable they are, though.
That’s not bad but he didn’t use the word ‘extremist’ or the phrase ‘working families’ enough.
This is off-topic: Rand, today’s NYT op-ed section has four maps I think you and your readers might find interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/09/12/opinion/mapping-mideast-peace.html
I’m not trying to change the subject, and I’m not going to reply. I sincerely think you might find the maps interesting.
This is great except the Republican candidate 2 is probably unable to counter an attack they know is coming.
Not to change the subject, or anything, but here’s a nice picture of a dog your readers might find cute:

Frank J left out “crazy,” although that may be less NY TIMES’ style than James Carville who applied it recently to describe Republican candidates. In The Hive, “crazy” translates as “less of a State-humper than me and people I know.”
Bob, Why not email Rand the link and let him decide rather than hijacking the thread?
Stop being a dick! /sarc
Bob, blog it yourself. There are lots of free blogs and you don’t need to post every day, just when something like this strikes you.
I’d agree to taxing the RICH at a higher rate, IF at any point, I’d gotten a JOB from a POOR GUY!!!
