I heard the exact same logic during Swiftboating of Kerry.

Ask President Kerry if they work or not...with no answering salvo? I just heard Axelrod on MSRNC, and he is not mad as hell. He better get mad as hell real fast, or we're gonnna have President McCain with a lot of recriminations.

9. You can push the envelope too far though, that's been proven..
I think Obama needs to get out in front of this soon though. We can't think that taking the high road is going to make it all go away this time.

2. There was no such nonsense about the ads not working being offered.

Kerry's campaign took the attacks seriously and responded accordingly.

You are claiming that Obama is being complacent and doubting that McCain's ad can have an impact. Where is the evidence of this?

5. What Has Obama done?

I'm curious, what has Senator Obama's campaign done to refute the McCain ads?

3. different election. different candidates. different time all together.
You can call it Swiftboating, but it's not the same situation.

McCain is not a sitting President. Obama is not John Kerry
These ads will fail.

4. The bushes did not win the 2004 elections against Kerry. They stole it by using caging list and
blocking democratic votes. It was so bad in Ohio that Senators objected to accepting the results and they had to go vote on it. But since the thieves and crooks were in charge of both houses at the time, they voted to accept the distorted and manipulated results.

Obama better watch out because the same thing will happen again and instead of allowing it to go to congress as required by the Constitution, McSame will take it to the dancing supremes. Since the Supremes established precedent in 2000 with voting in the bushes, they will dance for their masters and vote in McSame.

The question is will we the people allow this stolen government to get away with yet another stolen election.

6. Define Yourself—or Others Will
Bush-I did it to Michael Dukakis in 1988.

Four years later Bill Clinton didn't let Bush I define him...
...he define Bush-I

It's the economy Stupid! He defined Bush I as out of touch.
