President McCain ! Get used to the sound of it |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 02:53 PM by senseandsensibility
Thanks to Hillary and the corporate media working together (McSame actually doesn't have to lift a finger), he will be our next President.
It doesn't even have to be "bittergate", as sorry an excuse for a controversy as I've ever heard anywhere, or "pastorgate" for that matter. There will always be something to smear the Dem with. Always.
Meanwhile, actual misstatements made by McSame regardling real policy issues will be ignored by both the corporate media and Hillary.
This latest tempest in a teapot will blow over. But there will be always be something else for the Dem to answer for, no matter how trivial. And Hillary, if she manages to wrestle the nomination away for Obama with her Rovian tactics, will be smeared immediately by her corporate media allies. They will turn on her in a split second once she is the nominee. But the damage will be done.
How anyone could continue to support her is beyond me. When McSame is taking the oath of office, what excuses will they dredge up?

2. Considering the way the press has softballed Obama |
|
and smeared Clinton, I think you are full of shit.
Clinton will not be to blame for Obama's loss, if he is the nominee. That is a republican tactic, blame everything on the Clintons.

Personal attacks against fellow DUers. Classy, just like your candidate.

11. If The Party Doesn't Come Together |
|
and support Obama because Hillary and her supporters can't accept loss, then yes, she will be blamed! To think otherwise is denial. There's already talk of her wanting Obama to lose so she can run again in 2012. That possibility to me is unthinkable, but I don't know what to think anymore when it comes to Hillary Clinton. I wouldn't put it past her now.

15. You are right that "Clinton will not be to blame . . ." IF Obama loses. |
|
The damage that is done when someone says a Democrat demeans (any) Americans is done to the party, but the Democratic Party and Obama have the resources, intelligent and otherwise, to heal at least some of that damage. This GE is Ours to win or lose. It depends upon what the People REALLY want.

19. We must watch different media then. |
|
Obama's been under fire much more than Hillary since ST. Every little semantic slip puts him in the media roundhouse. They know he must be defeated in order to keep a Repub in the WH.

3. Her recent choice of words, "demeaning" "elitist", CLEARLY show what her priorities are. |
|
Hillary the messiah First.
Her conception of who/what "we" are Second.
Rejuvenating Bill's damaged pResidency Third.
The Democratic Party somewhere else . . . .

I agree with you 100%. But on another note, is it me, or is CNN doing the very best that they can to mirror the vile cesspit that is known as Fux News????

10. That's been going on for a long time |
|
The worst part about CNN is that people actually believe that they are liberal, or at the very least balanced. Not so. Go back to the run-up to this damn war. The glee exhibited by the CNN team for shock & awe was creepy. Of course Wolf came from the 700 Club where he was their go-to guy in Israel.

14. There's a long way until November... |
|
Better all the nastiness comes out now, rather than watch the facade crumble in the fall.
What I've found impressive about the campaign so far is the sheer volume of positive coverage Obama received for so long. You knew that wouldn't last....
In politics, the tendency always is to try to tear the frontrunner down. In Obama's case, he hasn't borne the brunt of this kind of media scrutiny before, and thus far it seems to me, he's handling it better than most people would expect, considering his inexperience.
I see that as a positive sign for what's to come.

17. I honestly feel that if after THE WORST Administration in our country's |
|
history, the voters elect someone who has so closely identified himself with same, we are doomed.
All is lost, period.
John McCain should be a pariah, not a contender.
