WHY CAN'T OUR CANDIDATES ATTACK MCCAIN?

[Th1onein]

I've kept my mouth shut until today, because I felt that our two candidates weren't hurting each other too much and were generating a lot of interest in the Democrats.

But, today, it's OVER for me. Someone needs to leave this race, or we are going to lose in November.

1. You're not paying much attention.

6. Obama still has to waste too much time defending himself from Hillery

To devote the necessary time to shredding McCain. Hillery is spending too much time attacking Obama trying to raise her numbers to devote proper time to shredding McCain.

In the end it's all getting old and beginning to wear on our chances in November.

15. Exactly! thank you!

He might say something possibly negative about McCain, and the Rabid Clinton machine would again be on the attack. The crap is starting to pile high with the Clinotn's

[Texas Hill Country]

16. and she has had to defend herself just as much...

[Th1onein]

10. Okay, how about I put it this way:

Why can't our candidates attack ONLY McCain instead of attacking each other?

[redqueen]

12. Because right now, they're competing against each other for the nod. (nt)

[MercutioATC]

2. ...because they're still in a competition against each other?

I agree that having the nomination decided by now would be helpful, but it's not as bad as you believe.

Deep breath...everything's going to be OK. There is no way that McCain will beat Obama in November.

3. Well, ONE candidate would love to attack McCain, but he's too

busy fending off attacks by the other Dem candidate. I didn't know I'd witness this watching democracy in action unfold, but there you have it.

So, yea, SOMEONE needs to bow out, gracefully or otherwise.

4. What She Said

5. He's already attacking Old John... check my link above.

:hi:

He may have to defend himself from Hillary's despicable and disgusting decision to use RW slurs against him, but he still finds time to bash the RW.

I wonder if she'll try bashing John on that, since from what I remember, she voted for Bush's tax cuts too. I don't know how anyone can consider her a strong opponent for the GOP.

8. Yes, I'm glad Obama is firing back! Who'd know that though,

what with the word 'bitter' being bandied about:eyes::

13. Priorities, eh?

Says a lot about a person...

[kentuck]

7. Obama has attacked McCain....

But I have yet to hear Hillary attack him even once ?? Please explain?

[sallyseven]

14. Because your not listening

Your and your ignorant friends are too involved in trashing Hillary.

[bunnies]

19. When calling someone "ignorant"...

Correct spelling and grammar are key.

[tishaLA]

9. Obama has been. Repeatedly

But DU is more interested in the internecine warfare than what Sen Obama is saying about the republicons. Odd, huh?

[knixphan]

11. We got one republican too many.

[Bensthename]

17. Because Hillary keeps biting at Obama's heals like a chiwawa..

[Catherine Vincent]

18. Both Hillary and Obama are attacking McCain

It's just that they are attacking each other more.

[backscatter712]

20. Obama's been splitting his attacks between Hillary and McCain.

And he's still winning so far.

Just think how badly McCain will be ripped to shreds once the party gets the hook and drags Hillary offstage...

[knixphan]

21. Agreed!

look at the wingnuts on comment boards all over...
