We officially suck.......
... the problem is McCain can lie and he KNOWS his base won't care but Obama thinks that if he is mean we will all turn away in droves. He needs to call McCain an Asshat to his face and Know that we will still back him.

I think that is the dichotomy between the two campaigns.

1. Do you believe the Dems are doing again what we've done all along?
In other words, be so nice we end up losing?

3. You officially are trying to discourage everyone
That's part of the GOP game plan. This time, we're positive, focused and energized. Nothing will stop us.

25. It was "they" and I really wish you lounge cynics would stick to one ID
Edited on Thu Sep-11-08 05:27 PM by melody
Now I have to add another to my ignore list.

Incidentally, feel free to ask me under another ID why my "they" comment was entirely consistent and why only a philosophical lightweight who cannot make fine distinctions (in other words, the effete lounge cynics) would think otherwise. I doubt you would understand the complexities of the reply however.

26. That ID-Changing Stuff
...sounds a little like this person might be shading over into paranoia. That is, the only ID I use here is the one to which this post & the one above from me are attributed. Of course, I could be lying. It could all be a plot by the Bavarian Illuminati, allied with the Justified Ancients of Muumuu, under the direction of H.P. Lovecraft.

But, sad to say, Melody will never know, for he or she was brazen, bilious, & backsliding enough have to to add another to his or her ignore list. A-and after only one encounter, too! High standards ya got, there. Fast ones, too. How many ignores does that make, now? And at what point does that exercise reduce one to conversing only with the voices in one's head?

Ah well, some questions are perhaps better left unasked. 'Scuse me, I gotta go, my latest instructions are coming in over the tinfoil radiator television machine, along with naked-in-the-shower pictures of everybody who responded to this thread. Of course, I could be wrong. It's just my opinion.

And gee, Melody never answered my question.

4. You've got it
Republican voters don't give a rat's ass about truth, while Democrats fuck around and philosophize and worry about political correctness and 100.0000% accuracy.

5. "Political correctness"? Gee, I wonder what party you belong to
To the GOP, lying is an indoor-outdoor sport. They take pride in it.

28. No, *they* are the ones who suck.
We're smart, sensitve, refined, empathetic, and much better looking, while they're a bunch of beer-guzzling, NASCAR-watching, insult-loving, Ayn Rand-reading, xenophobic troglodytes.

Unfortunately, there are just plain more of them than us.

32. I was admonished on this board for using the term "bitch" in referring to Palin
because the word "bitch" is, in the words of the responder, "sexist"! Hell, Palin compared herself to a "pit-bull with lipstick"! If we have to walk on proverbial egg shells around Palin because of her gender, or because McCain was a POW, while "they" take the proverbial gloves off on Obama/Biden, we have fucked ourselves royally!

11. He's called them liars and idiots and people who think we're idiots.
Not sure how "asshat" would add to that list.

12. It would make the worrywarts on "our" side feel better.
That's worth a lot--well, actually, it's worth next to nothing.

16. I always recommend canvassing for the backseat campain advisors.
Then they can get their message out themselves, rather than wait for Obama to take their advice.

13. If he does, how much will you contribute in time or money?
I'd rather he didn't and I've already given lots of both and continue to do so regardless so my opinion on the matter no longer matters.

19. Let's hope you're not on Obama's payroll.
Calling your opponent an "asshat" will appeal to teenagers, the rest of the country will see it as a meltdown. Your "strategy" would mean a Cain landslide. You started a thread for this??

24. "Our guys" don't like to fight dirty!
Hell, even Thom Hartmann said yesterday that only 10% of voters actually vote on the issues! "We" continue to make the assumption that the general public listens to logical reasoned explanations of positions. Bill Clinton was the only Democrat in recent history who understood what it takes to beat Republicans, everyone else before and since Clinton, just don't want to go there.

31. Obama anger must be clearly righteous and voiced on the part of others.
Otherwise, the neocons will target him an angry black man.

38. Let Obama be Obama and the surrogates be themselves. When you fight with someone else's style you're
bound to fail. If he wants to yell and scream let him. If he wants to remain calm when all other about him are losing their's....

We have chosen him as our nominee not a bunch of political pro's who lost the last two elections.
