If the Republican Attack Machine goes after Obama in the GE
voters will be too bored to pay any attention. Hillary used everything up already.

That is all.

1. I keep hoping the negativity will finally wear thin and peopple will get sick of it
Yet still it persists. Someone must be behind the scenes ready to give it an injection every time it starts waning.

3. You read my mind.
What can the GOP possibly do that Hillary hasn't already done?

If Obama wasn't vetted before, he's been vetted now.

5. So its normal for the candidates to destroy eachother to the
point where everyone just votes for the asshole they can tolerate the most? I thought I was the only one that felt that way come November.

6. Joe Blow on the street
is too worried about feeding his family. Most people don't know who's attacking who. I've seen more rabid campaigns.

10. Exactly the intention will be too blatant by then. They'll be all done.

11. Yep, old news and they have nothing else.
If there was anything else, Hillary would be using it.

12. OBAMA CORRUPTION BOMBSHELL
Edited on Thu May-01-08 05:55 AM by Perry Logan
"The major media organizations continue to ignore a story that is destined to become the biggest political scandal of the decade, except for a bleep here and there. By now this can only mean one of two things. They are either unwilling to commit the manpower necessary to connect the dots of all the subplots or they know the Republicans will supply the goods free of charge the minute Obama becomes the nominee.

"If Obama becomes the nominee, the Republicans will unleash a non-stop expose of Obama in the mainstream media that will make the swift boat attacks against John Kerry seem trivial. Only this time, they won't have to make lies because the truth will be on their side."

17. You are delusional if you believe that. Regardless who the nominee
may be for the GE, the Republican Attack Machine will get the voters attention. If they can't find a juicy scandal they will manufacture one. What we have seen so far will pale in comparison to what's to come.

19. The whole Rev. Wright scandal will be pretty toothless and now
they can't paint him as a Muslim, either. They're pretty much left with lapel pins (McCain doesn't wear one, either) and the picture of Obama with his hands at his side during the National Anthem (show photo of crowd at sporting event when National Anthem is played).

20. They will just make up new 'issues' to attack with
...and they will go on and on and on and on about rev wright. Too bad for them it has all been vetted already.
