Can't we all see that we are being played by the M$M! McSame has HUGE problems, not Obama!

I believe we are playing right into the hands of the M$M and the Wingnuts by buying into the lie that Obama is the consummate flip-flopper and politician who doesn't appeal to "mainstream America". In fact, it is the opposite. McSame is the one who is in deep trouble with the conservative base, while at the same time, he must appeal to the Center to compete with Obama. He is actually the one who has flip-flopped on nearly every issue being discussed.

Why not take the fight to McSame and the Repukes and stop feeding into what the M$M tells us?!?!?

Conservatives Ready To Battle McCain on Convention Platform

Conservative activists are preparing to do battle with allies of Sen. John McCain in advance of September's Republican National Convention, hoping to prevent his views on global warming, immigration, stem cell research and campaign finance from becoming enshrined in the party's official declaration of principles.

McCain has not yet signaled the changes he plans to make in the GOP platform, but many conservatives say they fear wholesale revisions could emerge as candidate McCain seeks to put his stamp on a document that currently reflects the policies and principles of President Bush.

"There is just no way that you can avoid anticipating what is going to come. Everyone is aware that McCain is different on these issues," said Jessica Echard, executive director of the conservative Eagle Forum. "We're all kind of waiting with anticipation because we just don't know how he's going to thread this needle."

McCain has spent the past year and a half trying to straddle the philosophical schism in the modern Republican Party. In primaries, he stressed his conservative credentials, but since clinching the nomination he has often reminded voters of his more moderate stances while professing his fealty to conservative positions.

A platform fight at the convention could disrupt that carefully choreographed effort by highlighting the stark differences in vision for the party separating McCain from some of the GOP's most dedicated activists.

The battle may not be avoidable. The current GOP platform is a 100-page document, and all but nine pages mention Bush's name. Virtually the entire platform will have to be rewritten to lessen the imprint of the president, who has the highest disapproval rating of any White House occupant since Richard M. Nixon.

1. It is so obvious and yet it needs to be repeated every day.

Don't be used.

4. Right. It bears repetition over and over again until we Democrats

get it through out thick heads. We are being fed a narrative about Obama that is actually true of McSame, NOT Obama!! The same happened with Gore and Kerry. They also tried it with Bill and accused him of being wishy-washy, wanting it both ways. They essentially attacked his Third Way as being a platform based on "flip-flopping." The Repukes have always dealt in absolutes. It's either black or white. Right or Wrong. You're either with us or against us. There is no grey area and no room for nuance. That leaves room for labeling Democrats as "elitists" and "flip-floppers." The same is happening with Obama and we are taking the bait and buying the narrative.

2. Next thing you know they will ask McLame not to speak

for longer than 3 minutes on his acceptance speech.

3. Obama has clearly taken over as head of the Democratic party

Obviously, McCain has not done the same with his own party.

[starroute]

11. That speaks to the leadership issue and needs to be emphasized

McCain still has people convinced he's better qualified on the level of leadership, even people who don't like his policies. "McCain can't even lead his own party" is a pretty telling rejoinder to that -- but we've got to get the word out.

5. Off you go to the Greatest.

Let's not let Obama get swiftboated!

[goclark]

6. Right You Are ~ K and Greatest Obama must not be Swiftboated

by anyone, especially "Democrats."

7. I agree. Please stop swallowing M$M lamestream jizz! n/t

8. The AP is CERTAINLY doing their part. Any story sourced from the AP should be given a triple check

9. We are allowing to be played.

We can lose over and over again,
and never learn to spot the clues.
We take a knife to the gunfight
and then we stab ourselves.

This must be stopped.
Thank you!
