An early start - Romney calls proposed Wright ads the 'wrong course' May 17, 2012 3:16 pm bowser

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/17/11747765-romney-calls-proposed-wright-ads-the-wrong-course?lite

The old Republican tactic.  Dirty campaigning with the candidate excusing himself of any responsibility.  ”Didn’t know about it, they aren’t part of my campaign, we don’t coordinate, we don’t know what they do.  Boy howdy, would love to help, but they have freedom of speech.”

An old Republican campaign song, to the tune of Jo Stafford’s “Shrimp boats is a comin’”.

“Swift boats is a-comin’

Their sails are in sight

Swift boats is a-comin’

There’s dancin’ tonight

Why don’t-cha hurry, hurry, hurry home

Why don’t-cha hurry, hurry, hurry home

Look here! The Swift boats is a-comin’

There’s dancin’ tonight.”

Expect a very dirty campaign.
