OK, guys start lighting the torches, we NOW go after McCAIN!
Poll after poll is suggesting that McCain leads Clinton and Obama in the polls in key states and nationally. There has to be some resolve - we cannot go on forever with this presidential primary.

Something has to give. The one who is leading should stay in. That is Obama. Lets get this done this weekend, don't wait for a long line of states. Just think of the electorate, the people who are contributing on both Democratic sides. They may not be able to fund a general election with our current economy troubles. Democrats are undergoing stagnancy, boredom with the back biting and are deeply frustrated and the GOP are laughing.

We have to get McCain and pin him to the ground NOW!

3. Torture Boy Likes Torture after all
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 06:01 PM by fascisthunter
shame. He knows torture breaks a person into making false statements, yet he still believes it should be used to gather intel...


He also doesn't seem to know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites. The man doesn't even claim to know who America is fighting.... how is that a good thing for a President?

PS - he knows the difference, he's just willing to lie about facts, important facts that have long standing implications for our soldiers in harms way to peddle a war with Iran. He's a sick sociopathic liar with no fortitude nor integrity.

4. Seriously, if either one of our current candidates can't beat McCain...
we have a major problem. If you have a look at the photos of the second poster on this OP that pretty much tells us where McCain's loyalties lie. Don't think the American people really want another 4 years of GWB (with a McCain) Presidency.

5. The MSM reports on Dem "controversy" and McCain plans and speeches.
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 05:50 PM by McCamy Taylor
They did Obama's race speech because it reminded people of Wright, but if Obama or Hillary talks about the economy or the war, the MSM will spend all day saying the Carville called Richardson "Judas" or someone called Bill "McCarthy" rather than talk about the substance of the Dems proposals or speeches about the issues.

On the other hand, the MSM will give McCain all sorts of free positive coverage of his trips, policy etc.

The only way for Hillary or Obama to get into the news is to attack the other Dem. That is the only thing that gets them noticed. That or make a mistake---or have Drudge or Fox make up a mistake for them.

Even KO does this. Watch. Tonight he will talk endlessly about the "Judas" comment and not do anything about substance issues and the Dems. This does not help the Dems at all.

13. THe real controversy is that the MSM does not compare the 2 plans side by side
We have to push KO and Abrams and Blitzer and AC to ALL compare plans and go into depth this time.

Not cover the issues?

NOT THIS TIME!
