What do you think they will come up with on Obama?

[live love laugh]

At this point Obama represents hope, newness, promise--good things in general.

Republicans hate good things. Therefore, they must destroy him.

It's inevitable.

The only question is how will they do it. How will they burn off that rainbow over Obama's head?

[The_Casual_Observer]

1. He'll become a parody of himself.

[live love laugh]

2. How so? nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. The revival meetings

[scheming daemons]

3. The Clintons crossed that rubicon weeks ago....

....

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. Somebody mention Clinton?

[billbuckhead]

4. There's the limo driver on YouTube who had gay sex and cocaine with Obama

[anigbrowl]

17. Really classy...I'm sure you're excited

All those guys over at FreeRepublic are gonna be *so* disappointed when the guy doesn't pass the polygraph test.

6. We have genealogical evidence that he is related to Cheney, that is almost as bad

[live love laugh]

9. Now THAT is an vote stopper. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

8. Funny thing about "the drugs."

As it turns out, the only story on that is that it was even less noteworthy than Obama relayed in his book. I know the Rs and Clintons are looking for the hook to bring him down (did you know he fathered two black children? :P ), but I think they are simply shit out of luck in that regard.

[live love laugh]

10. "Shit out of luck....". The Republicans never give up--they will make up shit if they have to. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

11. No doubt.

But I really believe Obama and Dems in general have the high ground on many issues (the war, the economy, etc.) and he will come back at the Rs Chicago style. Obama has really shifted the paradigm politically.

[TomInTib]

12. Oh, come on...

he's a mixed race, Muslim extremist sympathizer dope-head married to a totally hot, articulate woman?.

America's Worst Enemy

Or not.

13. If they don't find something, they'll make something up!

I've posted this same answer every time I see thisd question. What don't you understand? They didn't like the idea that Kerry was a 'Nam war hero, so they made stuff up to make him seem like a traitor and a liar. Why do you think they have to find something? Hell, they already have started the "he;'s a muslim and attended a madrassa BS!

Barack MUST work out a good responmse to all this BS. Simply saying it's not true won't work. I'm not good enough at this to give any advice, but I sure hope someone inside their campaign is!

[Moh96]

14. maybe: OH SHIT haven't you people noticed "HE is BLACK"

[live love laugh]

18. Who is that guy in the pic on your post? He is Hhhhoottttt. n/t

[Moh96]

22. LOL thats me, Thank you :)

[live love laugh]

23. You're beautiful. Thank YOU. LOL. n/t

[Beausoir]

15. Ponies! Cute, colorful ponies for EVERYONE!

Yay! Clap! I get a pony!

[Hutzpa]

16. I must admit, I hate these type of threads,

this is like feeding the imagination. I sorry folks, my fault entirely.

[live love laugh]

20. I kind of know what you mean. Sometimes these are like giving ammo to the enemy.

But I really believe that they already have their ammo. It's really just a matter of us here speculating to see how predictable "they" are. At least that's my purpose.

[NJSecularist]

19. I actually do have an idea of what they will bring up in the general

I've heard stuff around the grapevine about Richard Daley and his Chicago political machine paying off Jack Ryan's wife (or ex-wife) to come forward with false allegations. As we all know, it sunk Jack Ryan's campaign and Barack Obama won the Senate seat in a landslide.

That is honestly what I expect them to bring up.

[Dogmudgeon]

21. They will come up with nothing. Not now, anyway.

It is clear that the Powers That Be love Obama. Good for him! But TPTB are fickle and cruel. Ask Hillary about that.

And when they turn on Obama (as they certainly will, for they murder their darlings), they won't need anything real. They will just create a Narrative.

Narratives are much better than lies.

--p!

[AndyTiedye]

24. They'll Make Sh!t Up Out of Whole Cloth

It doesn't matter if it's all lies, all that matters is that the Mighty Slime Machine pick up the "story" and repeat it endlessly. Just ask John Kerry.

[live love laugh]

25. Bingo. I just hope folks here will avoid bringing that scurrilous slime to DUP

But then, I also hope that I will win a million dollars. :sarcasm:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

26. The "Osama and Hussein" references, lies that he's a muslim.

It didn't work on the Democrats but it will work on the ignorant people and on Repubs and Indys.

[saracat]

27. Resko, corruption, ties to organised crime. It is already talked about.

[Johnny__Motown]

28. It's already been debunked

[saracat]

29. It has NOT. Obama did KNow about resko yet retained a friendship with him.

He asked him for 'real esate advice when he "knew' he was under federal investigation for racketeering.Obama admits that. that is not 'good'. His relationship with a man who sunsequently tried to skip bail with a 3,5 mil wire of money from damascus is not good. You can't know a person that long and not notice such stuff. Obama lied about not taking donations for his presidential campaign from Resko and had to return 100K.This has NOT been debunked.Obama admits it.
