GOP in FULL COURT PRESS Swift Boating Pres Obama with negatives

[opihimoimoi]

to foster Failure...

The Battle is in FULL ENGAGEMENT MODE

Either 45 million get coverage or they continue nekkid if any med emergency arises...that is bottom line

Pubs using Fear Card, Ignorance Card too......

They think its cool to defeat a GOOD THING?

In opposing this bill....they are NOT THINKING FOR THE MASSES...inclu the 45 Million out there

They are thinking for themselves and their lobby friends....

Big Gamble for GOP....They are in the TRIP UM STAGE...trying to derail the Dem Train by Neg Approach

In the end, the GOP will lose their asses nx year...

1. The media is helping, and many DUers are cheering it on - shitty, huh?

[indimuse]

2. very!

ug. :mad:

[TheWraith]

4. I was just about to say, some DUers seem eager to help.

:eyes:

[opihimoimoi]

13. Perhaps DUino? They come not to share/heal, but to conspire

[TheWraith]

15. Regrettably, I don't think that they're trolls or freepers.

It's just that there's a certain segment in the party that is never going to be happy with anything, usually because it's not far enough left, and if it is, then it's not being done right, and if it is then it's a conspiracy to make sure it doesn't actually happen. I call them the suicide doves, because they'd rather sit there, be "pure," and never get one iota of anything done instead of get "contaminated" by the dirty reality of governing.

[Hansel]

22. You are right about some of them. But I believe many are trolls or freepers.

There is too much money on the line for corporations and the rich not to have trolls infiltrating the blogs to create doubt about the President and his policies. It's too easy and cheap for them not to do it.

A lot of them come here for free because the corporate puppets (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Dobbs, etc) have incited them. Some are paid to come here and create chaos. Just like some are paid to call into C-Span with their idiocy and some do it because they are gullible enough to believe that multi-millionaire radio hosts really give a sh*t about them and have their best interest at heart.

It's called psych ops and propaganda and it works. Unfortunately, too many of the people that you are referring to have fallen hook, line and sinker for every ploy these trolls pull. We all spend way too much time arguing rather than unifying into action to make sure we get what this country wants and needs.

The populous left blog-o-sphere would be able to create an unstoppable grass roots effort if we would not allow these dumb asses to constantly demoralize and undermine us. And that is the point of the trolls.

[opihimoimoi]

24. On the money....exactly....They come to undermine like the BULLIES they are

a common trait among bullies

[SuperTrouper]

6. True, the f-ng media whores are pontificating about the "imminent failure" of

Obama's plan. MSM whores Chuck Todd (MSNBC) and Wolf Blitzer (CNN) have had their ugly faces plastered all over television wondering if "healthcare fails then Obama's Presidency goes down" with it. :mad: :mad:

I cannot believe that this is happening again. :mad:

[Larkspur]

3. GOP fears that if Obama gets healthcare passed that works for the People

that the Dems will be in power for the next 40 years. That and the $$ from healthcare lobbyists are their main reasons to defeat it.

[uponit7771]

5. I don't understand how the DNC can allow them claim the flag of the little guy after this year

...there's no way.

I'd run adds against every one of the people who are fighting against health care on the GOP side with small 15 second adds....

[opihimoimoi]

8. BINGO....The Last Stand For the GOP?....ALL IN....? Looks Like it

They continue their ole tricks...LIE CHEAT STEAL

[FrenchieCat]

7. Folks need to man their keyboards and get to work!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TOOLS

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/

[opihimoimoi]

10. Awesome post...mucho mahalo :o)

Resuscitation efforts on the Comatose GOP Leadership does not reflect success at this point

prognosis is dim....

Current fight re health care::: Pubs gonna risk 1 rook and their Queen on this one

Explains intensity of S/B Attacks

[democracy1st]

9. we'll see how the dems fight back

[Brentlive]

11. Don't believe your own hype!!

This will continue to be a battle. The GOP is not died and may or may not "Lose their asses nx year". Obama knows that the longer health care reform is debated the more chance he has of losing. We need to get this PASSED NOW!!!!! NO DEBATE!!! RAM IT PASSED!!!!

[opihimoimoi]

12. Me, Myself, and the Kahuna ...with our spears..will join to fight the GOP Hordes. Mahalo :o)

[RBInMaine]

14. Time for DEMS to go full court press ! Where is it besides with Obama?

[opihimoimoi]

16. awakening...they are looking at the horizon and its filled w pubs coming at us...

[karynnj]

17. This is negative press - and it happens way too often, but not swiftboating

They are not lying about Obama's actions or character. (The birthers are swiftboating - but luckily, very few believe them.)

[opihimoimoi]

18. The GOP Press use Negativity as a weapon....their only weapon..

[karynnj]

21. Absolutely - It is also amazing how they so efficiently all repeat the same talking points

I think this is because it can be devastating as people then think because they have seen the same thing on Fox News, then heard it on Rush, and then read it in op-ed and letters to the editor in their paper, that it HAS to be true or it would not be said by so many "independent (!) sources.

On the polls, the strange thing is that the basic approval numbers have stayed in the same range - but it is only covered when it goes down from an earlier month. This leads to a major disconnect - Obama's numbers are high, but they seem from news accounts to constantly be going down - even though the number is near where he came in.

[opihimoimoi]

23. group manipulation via systematic talking points from a common source

indicates a unified effort to destroy the Dems and Obama

The GOP overlooks its Disastrous results during their turn at the Helm

Bush wasted 5 trillion dollars to the National DEBT...it was 6 T when he entered the Oval and 11 T when he left in Jan this year

Common Source most likely is the RNC, or Rove, Cheney, Rush....etc

[karynnj]

25. True - they really are trying to rewrite history

One of the strangest think I heard was Limbaugh complaining that the media speaks of the recession starting at the end of 2007 to put the blame on Bush, when in fact it started in 2008 - so it is Obama's recession. He obviously is hoping that people connect Obama to 2008 - because he was the big news then - but that didn't make him President in 2008. They also have been comparing the published Bush budget numbers - which put the cost for Iraq and Afghanistan at zero "because the cost is unknowable", rather than the actuals. Your numbers are the reality, but the comparison you hear on talk radio is the deficit in Bush's dishonest budget and Obama's budget that included estimates for those costs.

The echo chamber that the Republicans have grew ever stronger from the 1990s through 2005 - Katrina pulled back the curtain and caused more people to see the truth. Now, it is still there and strong, but Obama has the platform of the Presidency and he has spoken over the heads of the media.

[opihimoimoi]

26. The Masses tire of Pub BS...they demand MEAT....Obama fills the Bill and Pubs Hate it

[JerseygirlCT]

19. They sure are

I'd like to think it's because they're scared they're going to lose this one big, but the total attack mode stuff worries me all the same.

[opihimoimoi]

20. they are the party of fear and worry...the GOP is scared shitless and fear for their lives

More so now as they look at who will be their standard bearer...Palin, Ghoulie, Mitt?

When ys go Neg...Ya get Neg

[Better Believe It]

27. So when will President Obama spell out what kind of healthcare plan he wants?

[opihimoimoi]

28. done....he has expressed a desire to make sure all citizens have adequate access to heath care

Pubs want status quo

47 million w/o any insurance at all...
