So where's the "Swift Boat" for this year?

Wasn't it about this time four years ago that the whole "swift boat" thing happened? What are they going to do this time and why isn't it happening now?

2. Don't be so focussed on everything being EXACTLYPRECISELYTOAT like last time....

They appear to be doing a "shotgun swiftboat" this time, rather than the "sniper swiftboat" they did last time.

3. Something about a pig and lipstick isn't it? Man, this is terrible, just horrid.

4. Probably too drunk to figure out which end of the oars to hold.

5. The Obama Nation?

It's already been done. Have you not seen the number of people who are concerned about him being a Muslim or associated with those black radicals.

8. Yes, but they seemed to have dropped that

and only resurrected it briefly because of Obama's wording in last Sunday's Stephanopolus interview. Otherwise they seem to have discarded it to me, but I don't know, I try to stay away from the RW noise machine.

10. The damage is done

Just like it was done to Kerry by this time. I don't think it's really the attacks though. I think they're just excuses for people to vote for hate.

11. What's ironic is that

they try to peg Obama as a Muslim, while simultaneously trying to tie him to the pastor of a Christian church.

7. They've Got a Whole Fleet of Swift Boats This Time

Starting with the "Obama is a Muslim" crap and going on and on.

That's why it's close.

9. It's the mantra Obama is a muslim

make no mistake about it, it has not gone away. That steaming pile of turds is just sitting around in a dark corner festering in the minds of the lower middle class folks. I know a lot of these people and it has, and still is, making more impact than we want to admit. I think the swifties came early this year hoping to bump him off so they could have fun with Hillary.

But don't be surprised at how often the news "accidentally" shows "Osama bin Laden" under a pic of Barack Obama.
