Besides the overriding tactic used by the Republicans of repeating long debunked or easily disproved stories to make them appear to be true, their handbook contains many tactics for dealing with policies and issues with which they do not agree of which one is to introduce non-answers to difficult questions by intoning such irrelevancies as vacations and golf.
They seem to hope that no one has the smarts to check for verification.
I actually heard Laura Ingram simply say the other day, when talking about some needed action, that President Obama will just use an Executive Order “Like he always does” knowing that her loyal listeners would nod in agreement without checking to see how few times Obama has actually used an EO in comparison to former presidents, especially the Republican ones, who used that process a lot.
Don’t address the question, or even the policies that the question is about.
Comment on the irrelevant, change the topic, but at all costs do not answer the question.
That is what Mitt Romney did recently on Fox News.
When he was questioned by Chris Wallace on his show this past Sunday about the President’s handling of the Islamic State militant group and other foreign policy decisions, the Mittster, said, “I think the president is really out of touch with reality. He’s so out of touch with reality that he hasn’t taken the necessary steps. … He’s too busy on the golf course. I don’t know if you can see the reality from the fairway, but he doesn’t see reality”.
He grabbed at a golf reference, but never in the rest of his rant did he explain what should be done, what constituted being out of touch with reality, or even what those realities are.

He also brought up Benghazi and Hillary Clinton.
He summed up President Obama’s foreign policy as,“The president has a very different foreign policy than what the United States has had over the past 60 years. It’s based on common humanity, and humanity is not common. … Bad people do bad things.”
And, keeping to the avoiding of specifics tactic, he also said that there was no question that he would have been more effective in the White House than Obama.
How? Who needs to know exactly?
The question, by the way, had followed a clip of the 2012 debate in which Obama had answered Romney’s claim that the navy had fewer ships in the past by pointing out we also had fewer swords and horses because military needs have change, when Wallace asked Mitt how he felt watching the clip where Obama had pretty much called him a “dim bulb”.
Ignoring the question, Romney just went off on his own track avoiding any specifics.
And you know people lapped it up and nodded in agreement with what in reality was non-speak.
