ok, everyone... what's wrong with this picture?

RNC website:

:rofl:

[stray cat]

1. McCain isn't even listed on the GOP website

[Bleacher Creature]

2. What's the name of that guy running for President on the GOP ticket? n/t

[dana_b]

3. haha... evidently Obama is more interesting than their own candidate?

[Cha]

17. So much so that they don't even bother

with his bio, stand on issues or pic?

[BklynChick]

4. Nothing like a political party that is embarassed by their nominee they can't even show his mug

[Withywindle]

5. HAHAHAH!

They have more pictures of Obama than we do.


What a bunch of obsessed stalkers!

[Fovea]

6. Both sites are exclusively about Obama!

Great to see so much coverage from the wide stance party.

Of course it's lying wrongheaded crap, but 82% of American's now know that.

[cyndensco]

23. Do you really believe 82% of Americans see it as wrongheaded?

I so hope you're right but I don't give the electorate that much credit. Obama vs mccain seems like a no-brainer, but 2004 seemed like a no-brainer and look what we got. Being the realist/pessimist that I am, I'm just hoping 51% of us get it - and come out in the right states. :)

[Fovea]

70. Think about it this way

Cheney, who is acknowledged as the actual power behind the Alfred E. Newman look, act, and talk alike has something like an 11% approval rating.

All that remains is to make sure voters see McSame as being the Same as Cheney.

And that, IMO, is fairly easily done.

[Cleita]

7. Oh, this is hilarious.

Thanks for the laugh.

9. They wish so much they were Obama.

Plus, they're cranky bastards, ain't they.

[crankychatter]

11. hey I resent that

:-)

[Labors of Hercules]

13. don't you mean you resemble that??

(cranky I mean)... :rofl:

[crankychatter]

21. When I get Cranky, I have a snack and a nap... maybe the GOP just needs a time out and a nap

but first we'll give them graham crackers and milk

:-)

[graywarrior]

41. They napped all through 911.....

[Patchuli]

51. It sucks to be them

and that's (and lack of nooky apparently) is why they are cranky bastards!

Hey, are you going to keep your previous promise to let Ducky go when * goes?! He's looking mighty desperate!

[Labors of Hercules]

10. wow. "We LOVE our nominee" vs. "Their nominee SUCKS"

very interesting.

Ya think Repugnicons have something they are COMPENSATING FOR???

They can't support their own Goddamned candidate so they just trash ours???

Oh well, have fun with that! I'm going to go have fun campaigning FOR Obama!!! WOOT!!!!

[MaraJade]

59. Correction. . .

YOU love our nominee, and their nominee sucks.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. New Coke is saying Pepsi sucks.

[xxqqqzme]

14. publicans can buy a little elephant @ their site

why can't Democrats buy a little donkey @ the DNC?

[40ozDonkey]

15. It shows that they're busting ass to brand Obama to voters who don't know him.

They know they'll never get a win on McCain's merits, so they're trying to get to the swim meet early to shit in the pool.

[Cha]

19. I'm telling everyone I know what the

rnc is doing and what they've eliminated from their site.

[Cha]

16. They're so freakin' predictable.. they have nothing positive

about mccain but plenty of bandwidth to smear inuendoes on Obama.

Obama's snappy team of Keyboard Warriors can dispel those rumors in a New York second.

[Labors of Hercules]

18. OMFG... look at all the fucking spinoff attack pages:

http://www.meetbarackobama.com/
http://www.gop.com/DVO/
http://www.gop.com/rezkojudgment/
http://www.gop.com/clintonvsobama/
http://net.gop.com/canweask/

I especially like the highly intelligent "Days since Barack Obama Visited Iraq" widget... very classy.

Hang on... :puke:

[Cha]

20. I guess they didn't want to put the in when mccain visited Iraq

and wore the armor gear in the market and the poor market got bombed.

[1776Forever]

22. OMG for sure! What the H is that? I cannot believe how lame McCain's campaign is!

:crazy: :nopity: :crazy:

[grantcart]

24. nice

[Willo]

25. Help elect Barack Obama vs.

Help elect a republican president and congress in 2008.

Do you think McCain is getting the axe?

[dickthegrouch]

26. Fantastic campaign ad possibility there!

Off the top of my head. Put both pictures togther with dates and have a quick voice-over.

Even the GOP wants Obama to win.

This is all the GOP can do: Divide and conquer

The GOP does not know how to lead with love, see this example of how much hate it has

The GOP put this up to frighten its base into voting, do you want to be led by fearmongers for another four years?

Republicans: only motivations are fear and hate.

I'm sure you can come up with better ones.

[papapi]

27. So let me see...Obama is the Democratic AND the Repugnantcan Candidate?

Well isn't that odd. I guess Clone McShame just doesn't take a very good picture. No prob'....I'll just vote for Barack Obama then.

[janx]

28. That is amazing.

The contrast is unbelievable!

[27inCali]

29. dude,, really says something

when you don't even have YOUR nom on the front page but a bunch of smear on the other guy.

We got em by the balls my friends. haha

[ElsewheresDaughter]

30. omg that is so funny! BIG K&R ...lets get this on the front page

[napi21]

31. That reminds me of when one of my coworkers was running for

judge in Tx. He asked if I had heard his radio ad, and I said I had. He asked for a critique. I hesitated, because I thought it had a real problem, but he insisted that he really wanted to know! His ad opened with the name of his OPPONENT! In between, he did mention his attributes, but then again at the end, he again mentioned the name of his opponent! I told him that what I think you really want to do is cement YOUR NAME in the voters mind, and I think it's a big mistake to repeat her name in your ad. He gratiously accepted my criticism, and them graciously LOST the election too! THAT'S how I see that RNC ad! I understand TV ads pointing out your perceived failures of your opponent, but when you're talking about a print ad or online web site, you certainly should be promoting YOURSELF!

[janx]

32. DNC=hope and optimism; RNC=negative tabloid crap!

:rofl:

[Zynx]

33. Republicans = Scared out of their minds.

[Ioo]

34. I think you broke the GOP site, because I can not get images to load

:|

[BattyDem]

44. They won't load for me, either.

Weird.

Forget the pictures ... I don't even see McCain's NAME on the front page! :rofl:

[Lugnut]

35. Awwww. How sweet.

They like our candidate. :rofl:

[d_b]

36. they know they can't win

by pimping McCain. They're going to try and pull the ol' 2004 "yea, he sucks; but the other guy is worse" trick. Only this time it isn't going to work.

[anonymous171]

37. Typical GOP. They don't have a plan so they just tear down the opponent.

NOT THIS TIME!

[janx]

38. kick

[Stephanie]

39. Check out the RNC Facebook ad > "12,500 strong and growing!"

Hah hah hah!

[Dark]

45. As opposed to Obama who has nearly 1 MILLION supporters on facebook

[BattyDem]

49. Obama gets more than that at a rally!

:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

40. Obama looks better in the pictures on the RNC website than McCain looks in any pictures

[Vinca]

42. That's really amusing. They're so busy trashing Obama they forgot McBush.

:rofl:

[LTR]

43. Both have Obama on the front page

The DNC site has a big Obama pic on the front, no mention of McCain there. No smearing, all positive.

The GOP site has Obama all over it, nothing about McCain. Lots of smearing, all negative.

Interesting.

[Tatiana]

46. DAMN! Looks like they forgot to mention who THEIR NOMINEE is! n/t

[BattyDem]

50. I know! His name isn't even on the damn page!!!

:rofl:

[Blondiegrrl]

47. Gosh, they sure are proud of their candidate! n/t

[BattyDem]

48. They got nothing ... and they know it.

They can't run on the issues. They have no accomplishments to run on. Their candidate is a live-action version of Grandpa Simpson. They've got nothing to say, nothing to offer, nothing to be proud of.

And we've got this:

[Towlie]

52. Obama excites good guys and bad guys. McCain excites nobody.

[uponit7771]

54. Yeap, reply of the day...Obama isnt as polarizing than McSame is either. THere are plenty of cons...

...who want to vote for Obama, I know of 4 right now

[Towlie]

57. Thank you!

It was my response a week ago on a nameless neutral forum to a Republican who posted "Obama excites Hamas as well as Liberals".

[uponit7771]

53. It took me a second, but they don't say a damn thing about McSame. Could be a tear down....

...strategy where after they tear down Obama they bring out McSame as the alternative but seeing they have 12.500 people on their face book page I really doubt people are paying attention to the site.

[Leeny]

55. The Reps are really off track

They forgot rule #1 of campaigning - name ID, name ID, name ID. Make sure they know his name. I guess they don't want them to look at his mug too often though.:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

56. I don't think I'd put the real version of Cotton Hill on my site either.

Seriously. Name ONE . . . and I mean ONE accomplishment the GOP can run on. ONE. Just ONE. Let's challenge even further, since limiting it to the past seven years is like shooting fish in a barrel. In the 20 years they were in power since 1980 . . . name ONE accomplishment that didn't eventually result in failure in the lives of normal people. Anybody . . .? Anybody?

Exactly.

They. Got. DIDDLY.

All smoke and mirrors. They brainwashed, through their hundreds of media channels, almost half of the American public into thinking Republicans "kept them safe", "lowered their taxes", "fought successfully against creeping socialism", "win the fight against terrorism".

What they really did was:

* Fooled them into thinking Presidents actually have something to DO with "keeping them safe", because most Americans are kind of lax on that little thing called "cause and effect"
* Created a massive national debt, privatized the wealth, socialized the risk, played "kick the can" economics and got off scot-free while we're going to be left holding the bill.
* Used American's ages-old fear and hatred of Communism/Socialism in 2008 (I mean . . . DUDE. Does anyone STILL buy into that whole "Red Menace" thing in 2008? DUDE. COME on. European, British, Canadian and Scandanavian socialistic systems don't seem to be too shabby. Read a damned book sometime) as a mask to shift all of the risk onto US.
* Created an easy enemy, an eternal war and a personal MIC mint with YOUR tax money. Ain't no damned "War on Terror" being fought. Ain't even started. You've been HAD! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray! Run Amok!

And like someone else on here once said, they have nothing but one strategy: "Better the Devil You Know Than the Devil Unseen".

On paper, it looks like a mismatch.

Yet, so did 2000 and 2004.

And America is STILL one of the least progressive nations when it comes to race/gender relations.

America needs to wake up, wise up, and more importantly . . . GROW up.

If we choose poorly, our time is as good as up.

[rebel with a cause]

58. One is positive and one is negative?

No, wait don't tell me. One is positive Barack and the other is Barack negative. But he looks good on both of them. :D

How lame is the GOP site. They can say nothing positive about mccain that can't be disproved, so their whole site is an attack on Barack. That is just sad....no, that is just desperate.....no, that is just ignorant. I guess they figure if they can't do negative ads on tv they will do them on their web site. Of course somewhere carl rove is sitting there yelling at us. "Made you look! Made you look!" :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

60. I guess this year's "October surprise" will be who's on the R ticket. n/t

[chknltl]

61. I wonder if mCcain approves of their message?

Great contrast of philosophies there...one's for HOPE the other is...um...well...against HOPE I guess. Maybe it's for despair. My plan is to vote against despair by voting for HOPE.

[JNelson6563]

62. As usual, they are AGAINST something

They are never FOR anything, always against. To be honest it was one of the reasons I didn't want Clinton as our nominee, they've done such a good job conditioning their base....they'd turn out in huge number to vote against her. That 15+ year long smear campaign would've paid off in a big way. Now, with Obama, they more or less have to start from scratch.

Losers.

63. RNC Facebook group: "Help us reach 15,000 members!"

Barack Obama's Facebook page: 983,670 supporters

Repubs ignore the internet at their own goddamned peril.

[blondeatlast]

64. (Their) ignorance is (our) bliss. nt.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

66. Oh, my bad: Obama's supporters on FB now number 983,769 as of 12:37 PM ET.

:rofl:

ETA: That's a 99 member jump in 15 minutes.

ETA: Now 983,792 as of 12:39 ET. 23 more members in 2 minutes.

[blondeatlast]

65. Dear RNC, I'm planning to vote for a president this year. Could you please give me some information

about your candidate? Such as--his NAME?

Sincerely,

Blondeatlast

[otohara]

67. Fear The Black Man

he's going to take your money and steal your women.

[ladeyday]

68. Didn't know Barack was

running Republican, also. Or so one would think by looking at the pictures.

[NYC Liberal]

69. Help elect "A Republican"

:rofl:

[barack the house]

71. Aren't they an inspirational bunch. They can't even sell their own product.
