Is it me or is the GOP OUTTA CONTROL with this election? All they do is attack

[opihimoimoi]

at anything that can be twisted/distorted/smeared to their advantage.

Nary a report of success or advancing the Nation..

All they do is denigrate....

No wonder they cannot govern/administer positively....they are stuck on the NEGATIVE MODE

Look at the big picture...you can't miss it.

[AlCzervik]

1. you go negative when you're in trouble.

[opihimoimoi]

4. Like bass on shore, the GOP flounder about hoping to reach the waters

edge 40 feet away...

[malaise]

2. They have nothing

fugging else. It is fugging over. Whip them Dems. On the offensive.

[opihimoimoi]

5. 6 Years of losing every football game and no touchdowns either

Yet 34% remain faithfull...sad

[malaise]

11. Fugg them too n/t

[aquart]

3. Honestly? They sound insane.

Flop sweat.

[opihimoimoi]

8. I suspect they are in the INSanity Closet..posing as the good guys..

[stepnw1f]

6. They Look like Strung-Out Meth Heads (nt)

[opihimoimoi]

35. Sound like them too, LOL

[NashVegas]

7. For the Next Seven Days

We're going to see everything they think they can throw at us, they're praying something will stick.

[opihimoimoi]

17. Desperate is as desperate lies....expect the sink too.

[Ohio Joe]

9. It's not you

It's disgusting, I can't wait for the election to be over just so I won't see this garbage anymore.

[opihimoimoi]

18. I think there are lots of us sick of the BS by the Sinking GOP

[C_U_L8R]

10. That's called the stink of desperation

Republicans just cannot help themselves.. literally.
Every time they open their mouths.. out comes more stinky poo
Vile nasty smears and totally made-up bull-macaca.

I find it hilarious. Republicans are imploding.

[opihimoimoi]

19. Imploding big time...the basement GOP Crew is getting their asses

chewed off...even though its not their fault...they will get the blame of any losses due to the SHIT FLOWS DOWNHILL Theory

[tableturner]

12. They ALWAYS attack, always have, always will.....

That's why Dems need to always be ready with a swift and deadly rebuttal no matter WHAT election is being contested, and no matter WHAT election trends exist. It is even MORE important to put them on the defensive first by attacking them with the truth before they attack us. When it comes to dealing with the GOP, hit them hard, hit them again, keep hitting them, and then hit them some more. It we don't, then they will be doing it to us.

To add on edit: A perfect example is to look at the Dem and Repug conventions of two years ago. All the pundits, and all the GOP talking heads said "The Democrats better be careful and not get caught up in attacking Bush too much during their convention, because voters don't like that and will take it out on them come election day". Well....the Dems had a weak, chicken convention, only to be followed by a constantly attacking GOP convention a few weeks later. That GOP convention set the tone for the remainder of the election and put us on the defensive, and we never recovered from it.

I say again: When it comes to dealing with the GOP, hit them hard, hit them again, keep hitting them, and then hit them some more.

One more edit addition: The next time the pundits and GOP talking heads say "The Democrats better not _______", then we had better go ahead and DO ________. When will we learn this?

[opihimoimoi]

20. Thank you for expressing your astute card: sending fish and poi

Roast pig, smoked ribs, fine wine, caviar, sashimi, sushi, and some good sausages...

Come, we go surfing...

[Hubert Flottz]

13. They have shat their nest...

Everything they have touched has been ruined. There is hardly anything left that they haven't fouled up.

Can you name ANYTHING good, that the GOPers have done? They can't either...without lying!

All they have to sling is crap!

[opihimoimoi]

23. The GOPers have united us DEMs in a way we couldn't by ourselves.

They have strengthened us, galvanized us, solidified us.....other than that...zilch

What is it about these guys??? Why are they into LOSING??? I'm not refering to winning elections...anyone can win if they lie cheat steal enough...

No. I'm taking about once they get INTO OFFICE....Instead of gaining ground ...our nation is LOSING in too many categories...

The Pubs are not governing for the People...but for themselves....

[porphyrian]

14. They're flinging shit because that's all they have left. - n/t

[opihimoimoi]

24. Dried cow pies don't fly far and have little effect even if a direct hit is made

[Dob Bole]

15. That's all they ALWAYS do. It just isn't working this time. nt

[opihimoimoi]

25. I truly hope so Bob...I hope so.....

[genie_weenie]

16. I am worried it will prove successful.

This is a Victory by whatever means approach.

[opihimoimoi]

26. Cheating at Golf is a NO NO...Frowned upon by Gentlemen who play the game

But I guess its OK in GOP POLITICS...I guess the PUBs are NOT GENTLEMEN....Nor Ladies

Cheating is the difference...peeps with Class do not cheat.....

We want/need Leaders with CLASS/SKILL

[genie_weenie]

36. The GOP prescribes to naked power politics of

Machiavelli's time. You must seem to be religious. You must seem to be faithful and caring. Power (position) is for those who have the skill to seize it, through fraud or force.

[opihimoimoi]

40. Level One Soverigns....they haven't leaned a thing in school/college.

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. Um...that's what they ALWAYS do.

The GOP strategists don't know the meaning of the phrase "good clean fight". They can't win without hitting below the belt and slipping in a couple of kidney punches.

[opihimoimoi]

28. They are finding out the Lie Cheat Steal thingy may win for the short term

but is detrimental for the Long Term...

[sandnsea]

22. It's absolutely the worst ever

They've made a campaign ad about a misdialed telephone number for chrissake. I don't understand how DUers can give them any credence on their attacks when they know what liars these assholes are.

[opihimoimoi]

30. How could this GOP CREW go about to purposely cheat in the election

process and sleep at night?

A couple guys goes to jail for a few months..so what.... the big loser is the loser in the election....

[Hidden Stillness]

27. Even "Decent" Ones Doing it Now

They are really getting ugly. I heard a debate on C-SPAN a couple of days ago, where even Sen. Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island was getting mean and nasty, and making these little sniping remarks to the Democratic challenger. Also, dirty smear ads from Chaffee, who never used to do any of this.

[opihimoimoi]

31. What does Chaffee expect? GOP are fair game this year...likje never before.

And..its all their fault for going ALL IN with BUSHCO...

They followed him and now they pay the Price....If one does stupid...soon stupid will be the reason for a reversal.

Chaffee shoulda changed parties when he had the opportunity....

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Nothing to run on. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

Actually, of all the previous elections, it most reminds me of '92: When Poppy & co. started calling Clinton a "bozo" and Gore "Ozone Man", you knew they were in deep shit.

[opihimoimoi]

33. No real AMMO to use except Crap....Make yourself look good by making the other guy look bad

This is Level One crap...

This is all the GOP GOT???

Them Pubs are in deep doo.

[Skittles]

32. well it's not like they can run on their record, opi

they are desperate to create a scandal out of anything now

[opihimoimoi]

34. Their 6 year record sucks....following their guru Bush has weakened them to a point of desperation..

The GOP CROP followed the Wrong Guy....Bush has revealed himself as Dufus to too many and now, the world laughs at him.

The GOP shoulda went with Gary Bauer...LOL..he has gotten better at flipping Jacks w/o fallin off the stage

[Cobalt Violet]

37. It's become a ritual with them.

They always have the nastiest tone.

[opihimoimoi]

42. The Peeps are finding out that just because it works...Nasty campaigning

doesn't mean good governance...

How can you trust them GOPers when they cheat lie steal?

[JCMach1]

38. Negative campaigning lowers turnout and fires-up your own base

Things the Repugs have to have to do anything this time.

[opihimoimoi]

43. The negativity of the GOP oozes this time around...Peeps are tired of being scammed

[JCMach1]

47. I agree... negative wouldn't work in a realignment election

Internal issues take a backseat to the overall zeitgeist of the country.

[opihimoimoi]

52. Enough Peeps out there to make the diff. Its either vote Red..or Vote Blue

The GOP are terrified

[pdxmom]

39. It is definitely a sign of desperation. Our local races are the same

way. Lots of negative, but nothing about the candidates themselves. If you only used the ad campaigns to make your choice, without actually doing some research on your own, it would be impossible to make an informed choice.

[opihimoimoi]

46. Is our Society negative??? From the looks of it...about 35%...maybe thats why the N ads??

I am hoping this is the year the people reject the insanity of Neg Ads....

[NewJeffCT]

41. I think YouTube & ever present videotaping has revealed a lot

In the past, if somebody claimed, "Sen. Bedfellow used a racial slur." it would have just taken a spokesman saying, "We deny those ridiculous charges."

But, with people filming every campaign event and uploading gaffes onto YouTube within minutes, it means you can no longer lie & deny. It has allowed the world to see what a bunch of racist pigs head the Republic Party.

Even 2 years ago, there was no equivalent of YouTube to showcase such blunders.

[opihimoimoi]

48. Such is the evolution of electronics in our communication...

It enhances astuteness and reduces dumbness

[Cass]

44. They have nothing to run on - their collective record is disgraceful

so they resort to sleaze tactics.

[opihimoimoi]

49. Yes, their record is a dismal one..hence the desperation..

BTW...welcome to the fray...hope ya stay

Opi

[Sugarcoated]

45. They know they're going to go down

they're trying to win psychologically, to depress our turnout, demoralize. Anyone who's played sports knows you have to act like a winner, they're trying to chip away at that even though they're toast. It's all they have.

[opihimoimoi]

51. LOL, reduced to sniveling and whining...nothing pos and record sucks.

How in the world can the PUBS be Proud for their 6 year MESS???

[Hubert Flottz]

50. F D R gave us Rosie the Riveter

Bush gave us Halliburton...

EDIT... F D R was a Leader...Bush is a Misleader.

[opihimoimoi]

53. LOL...Bush is also GIVING us the middle finger as he fucks up this nation

Double damn
