Since the GOP always projects it's weakness, whats with the Obama is too thin meme?

[CK_John]

What are they setting us up for? McCain is a little ill? What's in it for then to draw attention to health?

Something is up and you know it's not good. I just don't see any upside for McCain. What do you think?

1. spot on

2. I think they are being silly, so that the really shitty stuff can get through......

like all of the other issues.

Kitchen sink strategy, and hoping that no one will notice the really hateful stuff, because of the stupid ass shit like who's too fat or too skinny.

They figure if some of us that aren't too bright waste time discussing the fat/skinny stuff, we won't be discussing the lies that the GOP tell day in, day out.

In otherwords, it is simply a distraction from the real task at hand.

3. Sheer Desperation

They are grasping at the slightest possible wedge, to get their fingernails in a crack.

There are no cracks in Obama.

But the GOP is reduced to rubble, and McCain is nothing but papier-mache over broken twigs.

4. Shot gun approach...shoot buckshot and maybe one will hit..they are throwing the kit sink at him

so far nothing hit

Frustration drives the Pubs to desperate attempts...

5. How's this....goes back to their racist attacks....when you think

of skinny blacks....do you think of drug use or disease?

Association by not associating.....this is another elementary attack...we need to point this out every time they do this shit. How about Obama is healthier than McCain is. How about Obama is taking care of his health....which means he will be able to handle the pressure that comes with the position.

6. Obama is too thin now?

Wow....well thank goodness we are seeing these substantive debates on important issues this election season :eyes:...

I swear this appears to get stupider with each cycle.

7. Tap into people's feelings of envy and insecurity.

Most Americans are "overweight" (whatever that means) and sedentary. Most people don't have the time or money to devote to fitness regimens. It's another iteration of the "elitist" theme.
