Rs mad simply because Ds finally learning from Rs' playbook?

[begin_within]

During the primary seasons in 2004 and 2008, the RNC web sites were packed with detailed dossiers on all the Democratic presidential candidates. They always started with "(Insert candidate name) is a DANGEROUS LIBERAL! who..." and went on to a laundry list of their lives from kindergarten up until 5 minutes ago. Each time a D candidate dropped out of the running, they would of course take that candidate down from their site. And now they're in a hissy fit because their candidates are getting raked through the coals? What did they expect? The same things they have been doing since the days of Lee Atwater/Willie Horton.

2. like any bully, when you finally stand up to them and punch them in the nose, they cry like a baby.

3. And far too many D's are acting the same way

I am getting awfully tired of the internet nannies going out of their way to get offended whenever anyone posts information critical of Sarah Palin.

6. There is a DISTINCT difference ...

90 percent of the crape that Rs have attacked Ds with has been flat out contrived bullcrape.

Palin is, literally, a political trainwreck. The "problem" she presents is she is BOTH undeniably unqualified for the job AND has done a lot of real anti-ethical stuff, PLUS her personal life has been reckless.

Again, the problem here is shifting around all of it to mete out the REALLY serious, and just serious stuff from the problematic stuff. Add in that unlike any other candidate, she has, literally, been dropped into the middle of this out of nowhere. It isn't like she is Mitt Romney, Lieberman, Ridge or even Pawlenty for that matter. 99.5% of the country NEVER have of her.

8. Republicans throw everything they have at out candidates- repeatedly

until something(s) sticks.

And no one can deny that it's worked.

we have to remember all that has happened over h last 8 years. we've have finally play their game but better. the biggest head fake would be that the thought te could keep poking the dog without it biting back. there are rovian machinations out there. we've got to think like them, the imagination can't be to wild considering the levels they'll stoop to
