OMG! Obama Has An OPPOSITION RESEARCH TEAM. But Why Are Mediawhores carrying Hillary's water?

first of all, Obama isn't my candidate.

However, who the fuck cares if he has opposition research teams digging up stuff to use against Hillary?

If he didn't, he would not be a serious candidate.

All serious candidates with enough money hire opposition research and then take info they get and feed it anonymously to the press.

My question is- why are mediawhores taking the info supposedly given to them by Obama staff against Hillary and blowing the whistle on the source?

Why are they outing Obama's campaign and not Hillary's or Edwards'?

Things that make me go hmmm...

Hillary as of late.

How is it that Hillary's campaign can get slanders against other Democrats into the media - but never manage to get the IMPORTANT THINGS into the media. Things that really make you go HMMMMM....

They can't lose and we can't win.

it has no indicator of the type of President you will be or the type of policies you will implements.

they always remind me of Matt Drudge and the guaranteed sleaze factor staying affixed to the body politic like a hungry leech.

as a matter of fact, I've done it for campaigns before.

In my mind, however, the infamous memo (which, to me at least, came across as maybe a little racist and/or xenophobic) contrasted somewhat with the "new politics" he's preached about in the past. It's just a sign that he's going to have to play dirty with the rest of them.

what chance would any of them have if they don't kick ass from the start?

They'll be up against guys with no scruples whatsoever.

BTW, most people have a direct experience with outsourcing via reaching India on the telephone.

They might know vaguely that their shirts etc are made in country X but they speak on the phone with India when they call customer service.

that's the main problem I have. But now he's just doing what anyone else would do.

As for people having experience with oursourcing to India - duh! I'm very aware of all of that. But outsourcing isn't just to India and India isn't just outsourcing. There are a lot of Indians in *this* country who are upset over that oversimplification.

You also made good points ob outsourcing that race-baiters love to ignore.

a basketfull of them-the item that Obama's oppo team dug up was given to some wags 'off the record' but somehow it found its way into the Hillary camp and it was they who shared it with the reporters for citation.

With all the money available to hire the best investigators available, there is little that won't be public, most of it bullshit.

that's my point :)

Take your pick.

"advisers" will work for anybody, sort of like a jockey-they'll ride any horse, but what they are always on the lookout for is a horse they can ride to victory, to make their own names and fortunes.

It doesn't matter what religion the horse is, they'll do anything, say anything, work undercover, tell lies, change serial numbers, whatever it takes to win, as long as they don't get caught.

Sure there are a lot of good, Joe Block honest folks, mostly underpaid and working their asses off to create a better country, but the rest are the highly compensated, professional image makers who do not share, or only coincidentally share the passion of the idealistic miracle makers who actually give a damn.

Too many naive office seekers see a kindred spirit in these sharks and unwisely make themselves vulnerable to one sort of extortion or another from these professional hit-men.

This is why he has gotten in trouble. He is hypocritical on one his core themes. How is this not news? If Obama stops the charade perhaps his future "old politics" tactics will get less attention. Somehow I doubt Obama will come clean. He will continue his fraudulent pose.

...any male candidate (Barack Obama included) who attacks a female opponent is a corrupt, sexist pig engaging in politics as usual. :sarcasm:

However, if Hillary Clinton does it, she's beating the men at their own game, and that suddenly makes her a "brilliant lady." :sarcasm:

hypocrite.

he made a huge point of changing the discourse in politics. Mentioning he wasn't for the "old" politics, meaning smears...and well, I've lost track of Obama's smears. I think there were three just this week..So, that is why he's been labeled a "hypocrite". If he hadn't made a point of behaving "better than" in his speech...he would have been better off not making promises he couldn't keep.

and her minions. It's hysterical that they keep attacking the guy just for telling the truth.

Oh, yes. Obama.

bought and paid for or threatened.

Wow, bought and paid for or threatened?

You must know alot. Spill your sources..Enquiring minds want to know..

I'm building quite the nest egg with mine.

I think it's moreso that they want to exploit eight years of a Hillary Clinton presidency for sensationalism and "excitement."

they think she will be the easiest Dem for a Repuke candidate to defeat. They also think that Hillary can get the Repuke base motivated to turn out and vote for Repuke candidates.
