2. Obama camp is NOT going to lie because corpmedia would NEVER let a proDem group get AWAY with a lie
the way they do for GOP groups.

Any Dem group that even TRIED to lie in an election would get 24/7 smearing and exposure for that lie from the corpmedia.

You do understand that Dems don't 'swiftboat' and CAN'T 'swiftboat' because they'd never be allowed the room to get away with even the smallest lie in a campaign?

4. I am not talking about lying, I am talking about presenting ugly truths
about mccain and palin that most people are not aware of

I am talking about things like his association with the keating 5. Why would anyone vote against a day honoring Martin Luther King. Why would someone who says he supports the military vote againt GI bills. Why would he pick a VP who husband belonged to the AIP, which calls for succession from the United States. Why would he pick a VP who is against abortion in the cases of rape, incest, and the life of the Mother?

I could go on, but this is what I am talking about, things that should make most people cringe

5. well, swiftboat as a campaign word means to lie as big as you can about your opponent...
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 12:59 PM by blm
and shouldn't be used to describe any action by a proDemocratic campaign.

8. We Don't Need To Lie. We Do Need to Spend about 10x As Much Money
Our ads will never become "news", so they will never get all the free replays that the Republican ads get.

13. swiftboating in a campaign means LYING SO BIG and getting corpmedia to help you.
And NO Dem group would ever get away with that. You know what I mean.

14. Maybe a preemptive ad warning about swiftboat ads?
Try to innoculate so there's less impact from them?

They've already done it, but they'll be bringing them back.

21. Wright - ha - do they really want to go there? Palin's preacher thinks it's okay to kill Jews.
And has also said negative things about America.

I pray we are ready.
