Why is ou party afraid to go negative?
Advertisements [?]
Obama is a confident man---The repukes label him as arrogant...it starts to stick
Obama is an insprational speaker---the repukes say he's a an empty suit who gives a good speech...it starts to stick
Obama worked his way up to where he is now on his own---the repukes call him an elitist...it starts to stick

See a pattern?
The Repukes look at our strengths and they attack them, they know full well that if an attack is repeated enough times it will start to stick. They aren't concerned with blowback or being seen as crass or tasteless or even stupid, they simply seek to peel away a few Obama voters one smear at a time.

So what do we do?

McCain is a war hero----Clark calls him out on it...we retreat and admonish Clark for disrespecting the great and Honorable McLame.
McCain is knee deep in Oil money----we do nothing....he takes the lead on the issue and starts beating up on our candidate on a daily basis threatening to make the issue HIS and use it as wedge on the economic debate.
McCain has supported the war----we lose our voice and don't even attempt to tie him to Bush.
McCain hugs on Bush, takes Bush supporter corpo money and Hires a gaggle of Rove clones----we say nothing.


Molly Ivins once said "We will stop telling the truth about Republicans when they stop lying about Democrats" well I'm here to tell you that we (and by We I mean the Democratic party leadership) aren't even TELLING THE HORRIBLE FREAKING TRUTH ABOUT THESE GODDAMN MUTT REPUBLICAN SLIME BAGS.

I have given money to Barack, I will give more and my time but Barack and Pelosi's strategy of staying above the fray WILL NOT WORK. Because the Republicans are going to attack,attack attack 24/7 until the election UNLESS they are forced to defend!

Why hasn't our party leadership coordinated a plan to not only Make Rove testify BUT ALSO TIE ROVE AROUND MCCAIN"S NECK!

Why hasn't our party leadership tied the DOJ scandal AROUND MCCAIN"S NECK????

WHY haven't we tied the mortgage crisis around bush and mccain's neck!!!!

WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?

Would the Republicans shy away from doing the same to Obama? Hells no they are tying imaginary made up things around Obama's neck like arrogance or uppity nigger or not visiting the troops doesn't our leadership realize that if they had the type of ammo we have been given that the race would already be over by now?

It's so frustrating to see us yet again get led down the cattle shute and get brained by a Republican attack machine that is armed only with cheap tricks while our guys and gals (Pelosi I'm looking at you) sit on the sidelines loaded to the gills with great ammunition to use against this Mccain mutt and DO NOTHING OF CONSEQUENCE.
