Who will be the easier target for the Republican Noise Machine: Hillary or Obama?

[Fire Walk With Me]

I have yet to hear of any good reason for Edwards sudden recusal from the race, and Kucinich was excluded from six debates (in spite of being invited to some), and is now fighting for his government seat against corporate-sponsored shills.

The Republicans obviously want the easiest target for the Democratic candidate. Who will it be, and why, and knowing why, what can be done to prevent their inevitable torrent?

1. Barack Hussein Obama

abandoned by his mother to the Muslims

[thunder rising]

5. Thank you for that, are whisper campaigns always from Hillary camps?

[Adsos Letter]

10. The poster *may* be referring to the likeliest meme to be used

by the righties...or not. It would be easily quashed in a face-to-face with the rebup candidate...although the meme could still circulate amongst the inbreeders.

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. I'm wondering what the next "swift boating" will be, and what to do about it.

And if things are indeed being shaped so that they'll have the weakest possible Dem candidate, if such things are possible, as I don't put much past these clowns and their extremely rich friends.

[Adsos Letter]

19. It will definitely be something to watch and work against...

but don't undersell the Democratic financial base just yet...there are substantial pools on our side, and they will certainly have their affect after the primaries. (fingers crossed)

[thunder rising]

21. Answering both above: Can we quit fearing the 29% yet? It's as insane as fearing one man in a cave

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. This isn't about the 29%, but about their very rich leaders and the current faults in the electoral

process.

[thunder rising]

25. They only talk to 29% (where have you been)

[thunder rising]

2. I'm sorry but Hillary comes with a load of baggage that cannot be overcome. I cannot vote Clinton!

[Bluestar]

3. I think it's a tossup--they will make up lies about either or both n/t

[butterfly77]

33. The difference is Hillary knows how to fight back...

Obama whines about how unfair it is, even when no one was talking about racism.

[The Wielding Truth]

4. Gee, who do nazi's hate most? black men or lbr'l white women?

[Zorra]

16. Bingo. It's a toss-up. n/t

[Adsos Letter]

6. They would each have their battles to fight...

...personally, I think Hillary would be the tougher opponent in the face-to-face of debate; but the IWR is gonna' be a problem when discussing the war.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

7. Republicans will say Hillary flipped flopped, it will be 2004 all over again.

Dems need a candidate that provides a stark contrast to the GOP.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Fli-Flopped on what? The IWR? That means SQUAT because the MAJORITY of Americans

flip-flopped on the war themselves. They want OUT and so does she. McCain wants to stay for 100 years! NO CONTEST.

[Lebam in LA]

8. Let them scream

A peanutbutter sandwich could beat the republicans right now, unless we keep killing our own

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. I worry that McCain will have appeal if yet another Bin Laden video shows up

just before election. As the always seem to.

[Alexander]

9. Clinton will be labeled as a flip-flopper. Obama is the stronger candidate.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. Hillary voted for the war before she voted against it

Sound familiar?

[billbuckhead]

37. The American people were for the war before they were against the war

[Gman]

13. McCain

The way this week is ending and with Anthrax Coulter saying she'll endorse Hillary, McCain just might get the wrath of the 30% in November.

[knowledgeispwr]

15. Senator Clinton

There is too much hatred (much of it unfounded) for Hillary and Bill.

I think Clinton would have to run a 50% + 1 campaign, while I think Obama (and Edwards were he still in it) could actually run a 50-state campaign and be competitive where Dem presidential candidates haven't been competitive in awhile (parts of the Midwest, the intermountain West and the Upper South).

I think Clinton would be a good president, but at the same time, I think there is nothing that could unite the fractured republican party like Sen. Clinton being the democratic nominee in the GE.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. "But, Senator, you voted for the war."

Easy, and accurate, target.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. No one knows ANYTHING about Barack. I suspect the MSM

is saving all the good stuff for the GE. Be careful what you wish for. Hillary has at least been vetted.....for years and years and years, There's nothing they can throw at her that she can't handle.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

24. Exactly. Republicans LOVE FRESH DIRT!

It is more effective then screaming Monica!
LOL

[DiamondJay]

28. especially considering all Clinton stories dissappear within 2 days

even the Clinton Kazahkastan thing is gone, even from this board. Clinton stories don't matter anymore. Also, I think the media AND the republican politicians respect Hillary more. Barack Hussein probably has some adultery incidents in the past that the press is just holding back to thro at him, and especially cuz the girls are gonna be white, the media will be all over that, and Rezko is now stuff, McDougal is old bullshit

[Clintonite]

23. They want you to believe Hillary will be an easier target. But they hav not beat a

Clinton yet. They do not want to take a chance.

[PeaceNikki]

26. Who cares who's the "easier target"?

ANYbody is an easy target for them. The more important question in that is: who can fight back and stand up to their bullshit attacks?

[Fire Walk With Me]

29. Truth!

:thumbsup:

[PeaceNikki]

36. Yes, and thanks for noticing.

:thumbsup:

[0007]

27. What these cretins have done to us and what they will do does not

surprise me in the least. How they beat Gore in 2000 is still a mystery to me.

[boston bean]

30. The corporate media says Hillary so rest assured it's Obama. nt

[TheDonkey]

31. Hillary will but the RNC will try to tear down and swiftboat either

it won't be a waltz in the park for any Democrat.

[ErnestoG]

34. You're right. Which tells me we better offer the candidate with less holes in their boat...

and that would be....


OBAMA

[butterfly77]

32. Obama..

I just finish listening to a rightwing host on his radio show and he said he wanted to get into it about Obama's Muslim ties. The host said just because he says he is not a christian that he is tied to Muslim. He began spouting off about some article that someone who knows obama wrote who said that Obama is lying about his muslim ties. He further began talking about his pastor and Louis Farrakhan. He was bringing up some other points but I didn't continue to listen because even though I don't support Obama it was beginning to make me angry... I also heard Buchanan this morning talking about how Obama hasn't been tested yet and if he can't take the so called racist statements of Bill Clinton then what will he do when the republicons get a hold of him. This is something I have said all along. This talkshow host also was talking about the rezko scandal...

[Fire Walk With Me]

38. Yes, all they have to do is associate him with any of the distasteful types such as Farrakhan

and people might not even listen beyond that point, even if it's not the truth. It sure worked when Bush placed Saddam and 9/11 in the same sentence, over and over.

[Infinite Hope]

35. There's an obvious objective answer and a subjective one. The poll is accurate. n/t
