So just after Hillary gets done with her onslaught, McCain launches an attack.
Discussion on CNN right now. Why does this have the feeling of being just too convenient, perhaps coordinated?

18. Wait til you hear the whinging once the action really starts
which probably won't happen in earnest until the Dems goaded into yet another "feel good" "no bashing" convention. After that, it's going to ugly. Fast.

And probably worse than last time around.

28. Funny about the feel good convention - forgot that one! Kerry has been attacked
well before that, but Dems still took the MSM advice of being "nice" - while the GOP-ers ripped into him without consequences...It's always a good idea to do what MSM says - especially if you are a Democrat...:sarcasm:

3. Front Runners get it going and coming. This is the price of
being a front runner. If Obama cannot take it--then how did
he get here???

10. Did Obama say he can't take it?
He is taking it much, much better than your candidate.

29. Then why the need of finding conspiracies for the run of the mill election process?

5. Call it a conspiracy theory but
Does she want to run again in four years?
If Obama wins the nom will she help or step back?

6. Listen to what McCain says. He is using the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS Clinton does.
Every single last one. Right down to "speeches versus solutions."

14. So Hillary's Mark Penn works for McCain's Charlie Black. How interesting this political incest!
John McCain's top political strategist is Charlie Black. Charlie Black is Chairman of BKSH & Associates. BKSH is a division of Burson-Marsteller. Burson-Marsteller is owned by Hillary Clinton's top political strategist, Mark Penn.

As Obama said, the status quo will fight tooth and nail against change.

21. Spot on.
If you're a DUer and you're not uncomfortable about this "arrangement," you're not paying attention.

8. What, you think the Repukes only go after Hillary and that they're not going to attack Obama?
If you Obamaites can't take some minor McCain attacks now, how the hell will you cope later on if Obama ever makes it to the General Election?

24. Any attack on the Chosen One is suspicious - conspiracy can be the only logical explanation
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 07:48 PM by robbedvoter
The fact that primaries/general elections are under way is not relevant in any way.
We all know that any decent, sane person in the universe has seen the light and received Obama. It is obvious that anyone not submitting must be in a conspiracy of evil duers...almost like an axis of evil...

26. LOL, will they ever be in for a rude awakening if Obama makes it to the finals
Then again, in real life, half of them are probably McCain lovers anyway, judging by the amount of hatred they come here to spread.

16. It was discussed in a recent Clinton/Penn conference call
that part of their strategy going forward is hope that McCain will beat up Obama so
badly that it will knock him down in the polls and Hillary will have to step in to save
the party.

Honest that is their plan.

23. Kinda makes you wonder if they'll toss a coin in the back room
to see who gets to win the GE, if Hillary is the candidate.

20. "She and John McCain are very close." Bill Clinton
"They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."

hmmmm.
