That's It Obama! How Dare You?
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 03:42 PM by demdog78
Obama has deployed his own kitchen sink strategy.

Yes! It's true... and his sink is full of politeness!

How dare Obama for using such tactics as politeness, eloquence, tact and morality. How dare him not engage in personal attacks. How dare him not use sexism? How dare him focus on the issues! And how dare him respond when there are false allegations made against him!

Who the hell does he think he is? What party does he think he is in?

Doesn't he know that in this party you have to use racism, sexism, make false allegations, be a victim, and blame your opponent for your own wrong doings and lack of morality?

Where does he get off? If we wanted a candidate like Obama we'd vote for a Democrat.

Oh,

Wait,

Yeah...

That's what we are supposed to be doing. Voting for a democrat who plays fair, has morals, is tactful, is a brilliant speaker, and who isn't a Washington insider.

I almost forgot. So, why are we still supporting Hillary Clinton?

1. A Obama vs. McCain debate
would be almost painfully polite - they wouldn't agree on anything, but both are extremely polite, soft spoken and reasonable (at least they sound reasonable).

It would be good..but weird

3. But both can bite
with irony. So actually I think it will be quite interesting.

5. But a debate where no one
raises there voice in a campaign without name calling or slander would be kinda creepy in a way

8. Yes, I was listening to the same thing.
He is using the politics of politeness. How dare him.
