So Is McCain Just Going To Get A Pass Here On DU, Just Like The One The Media Gives Him?
White supremacist as an advisor, Hagee, Parsley, 60 lobbyists in his campaign, women need to be educated and trained before they can get equal pay, Sunni-Shia, tax cuts for the rich, and today HuffPo reports be was for withdrawing the troop from Iraq before he was for keeping them there for 100 years. Oh yes and the economy is just fine, humming along.

And yet, few responses on any of the threads about these topic. Big fat yawn. Everyone does know he is the Republicon nominee. right, part of the vast machine which is going to tear our candidate to shreds? And yet he continues to get a pass. Four more years of McSame is a huge threat to our country and yet nobody seems to care. And if an activist place like DU doesn't give a damn, I can assure you the rest of the country isn't going to either. The time to fight back is not in the fall, but NOW.

1. As long as Hillary's doing his job for him - we might as well start with her.
Once she's out of the way - we can have a real GE campaign and go after McSame.

3. You're in the wrong forum.
GD-P is dedicated to Hillary and Barack supporters showing .... well ... their worst sides.

If you want to discuss the GE, you'll need to go elsewhere.

10. What, Are You The Hall Monitor?
With threads like Wright may have just given the election to McSame, Ill stay right here and provide the counter argument.

4. Agreed!
I posted this thread about his Iraq flip-flop:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3221367

We need to go after him now while he is trying to define himself. The corporate media is certainly not going to do it for us.

5. No one here is going to vote for him, so there's less attention being
paid to him at the moment. Until this primary ends, that's where the attention will be.
So, I hope it will end sooner rather than later.

while democrats are in a circle concerning Wright.

7. It's the nature of GD:P and I'm wondering if having a separate primary
forum was a good idea. Maybe it just keeps us fixated on the intramural stuff to the detriment of seeing the big picture...:shrug:

9. Those threads seem to sink
It's amazing to me that people will find the time to post every negative opinion, comment, innuendo about either Hillary or Obama but when someone asks about some dirt on McCain, nada, zip, zilch, zero.

I wanted to start a thread dedicated to listing McCain's negatives. I didn't bother because I knew it would sink like a stone.

"List Obama's Negatives" or "List Hillary's Negatives" gets dozens of responses and recommends.

I think it's pretty pathetic.

11. I would once again propose a McCain forum
so all the dirt could be kept in one place and allow easy access/ reference for DUers.

14. I'll give him a pass because I wonder if he'll even make it to November.
And he keeps stalling on putting out his medical records. He's not looking good/ healthy at all.
