Wow, GOP, Is That All You've Got? PATHETIC!

GOP, you really just aren't cool anymore. You've lost your edge. You used to be such an imposing figure. But lately, you've become pathetic. I mean, how the hell are you going to be intimidating with a man like John McCain at the wheel? I mean COME ON!

Campaign Finance? That's what you are going after Obama with?! I mean REALLY. And flip-flop? Seriously?! That's soooo 2004. Don't you have any new material?

Yeah, you tried all the regular, low-information stuff... you through out the crap like "Obama is a Muslim" and "He doesn't wear a flag pin", but that shit is so freakin old no one is taking it seriously. IT'S OOOLLLLLDDDDDD NEWS. Where's the good stuff?

Where the hell are you? What the hell are you doing? Come on, bring it!

Or not. You are just. so. lame. No wonder McCain can't get past 43% in the polls.

Pathetic.

pretty good! :thumbsup:

and yes, that's the best that they can do....with their sorry asses...

The only other thing is wishing for a terror attack on this country, all the while wearing their flagpins.

Pathetic isn't even the half of it.

:hi:

They try one thing and then another, and nothing works, nothing sticks, a slight drop in the polls is followed by a rebound and a bump.

They attack and the man just gets stronger, and always without him resorting to sleazy counter attacks.

It's the truth, it's like Kryptonite to them. It is some powerful MOJO.

There's nothing in the literature about THIS kind of campaigning.

We're making some history here, that's what this is.

I don't think they can afford, in their devious and disgusting minds, a potential GOP loss just in case we might come after their sorry, treacherous, war- criminal, war mongering, torturing, constitution shredding asses.

Karl Rove told ABC News that Obama is "the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."

Republican Framing 101


Karl Rove is teaching us all how it is done:


ABC News' Christianne Klein reports that at a breakfast with Republican insiders at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, former White House senior aide Karl Rove referred to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as "coolly arrogant."

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove said, per Christianne Klein. "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."

Rove's statement has nothing to do with the political skills of the candidates (Obama and McCain) and almost nothing to do with reality. McCain, for instance, is much, much wealthier than Obama. The "country club" reference is intended to evoke feelings of bitterness about the rich who go to such places, but of course African Americans have not traditionally been welcome in them at all. So Rove scores a double here in turning facts upside-down. It's McCain who would be a much better example of someone doing those things in a country club when he was younger: A military hero and all!

That whole statement is intended to provoke teenage feelings of resentment among those who hear or read it, to spread an odd veil of emotional envy towards Barack Obama, to poison the air with the ideas that it is he who is the elitist and not McCain even though McCain has considerably better qualifications for that role.

But of course all this is your typical Rove maneuvering: Take a fact and turn it completely back-to-front. Attack the strengths of the opposition and argue that they are the real weaknesses.

Because Obama's strength is partly that he is NOT in the ruling elite nor in the moneyed elite. If anything, he has the power of the outsider, and it is that power that Rove tries to destroy by his smears.

What Rove does is not that different from what Maureen Dowd does, every week in the New York Times: Encouraging people not to engage their thinking minds but instead decide on the world based on some very silly stereotypes and emotional grudges from past youth. This makes me very angry, because what is at stake is the real lives of people both in this country and elsewhere. Even their real deaths.

Panty-sniffing gossip rag writer who faked her way into a Pulitzer. Looks like the NYT finally realized what a dud she is. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/22/opinion/22pubed.html?ex=1371787200&en=cde68ecc52f80717&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

Made Obama look like James Bond and just reminded everyone that a) Rove is a jealous dork and b) the Republican elite are the country club set who are completely out-of-touch with most Americans. It's like KKKarl completely forgot that most of us don't belong to country clubs, and pretty much everyone knows that Obama would never have been allowed in most country clubs until fairly recently.

What a moron!! :rofl:
