Have you noticed??
That every Republican that comes on the talk shows finds a way to criticize Obama? No matter if they are talking about the price of cabbage in China, they will find a way to bring Obama into the conversation in a very negative way. It's a united effort on their part and little by little, and day by day, they hope to reach enough people to turn this race into McCain's favor. Just wondered if you have noticed??

2. But they do it in an organized and strategic way...
Unlike the Democrats who do it at random, sometimes... :-)

8. You mean in unimaginative ways, as if by rote.
They aren't big on original though, as that tends to conflict with the desires of their corporate masters. So yeah, they all sound alike, and if you don't look too closely, it looks disciplined and organized.

But it's just knee-jerk chanting of slogans, from people without intellect or empathy.

12. You may be right?
Generally speaking, they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. And they do have knee-jerk reactions to any displays of empathy.

4. Marching orders have been issued, and Republicans excel at goose-stepping.

5. We are being NIT PICKED to DEATH....you are right, they have been at this 24/7 for a long time
Its being intensified lately....and with sim talking points indicating a higher source somewhere....

But, this is all they have...denigrate, insinuate, and inflate....

Obama has chosen to run a Positive Mode Campaign using TRUTH and REASON.....

Them Pubs are Flummoxed no end....

6. And how long until desperation hits them in the gut?
And what do they do then? If they see their negative campaign is not working as planned, what happens then?

7. This has convinced me more than ever that Obama is the one
to handle the mess we have been handed by this group or right wing loonies..Obama can't sneeze without someone demanding an in depth investigation of it.. Was it and Islamic sneeze??..maybe a gang sign sneeze??.. I can't wait till everyone gets the venom out of their system and we can all concentrate on winning this election ~sigh~

10. Yes, they're desperate! They have nothing else and they can't win on the issues.
So all they have is to smear Obama.

Like Randi Rhodes said, notice the latest Talking Point for this month: "Obama will say and do anything to win!" That's the talking point that has been repeated over and over again. Lindsey Graham did it on MTP last week.
