The GOP Attack Machine Failed To Defeat The Clintons Because They Were Too Aggressive And Mean
and how poetic it is, that after suffering through 15 years of attack after attack, their reign at the top of the Democratic Party may end, not from a series of attacks, but from someone who promotes a positive, hopeful message.

The Clintons ran up against the one candidate, with the one style, that could defeat them. No other Democrat could have topped her. No Republican could have topped her. Because if you fight them hard, they hit back harder.

If Obama wins tomorrow, it'll be a political accomplishment of epic proportions.

Political scientists will be studying Obama's campaign for decades to come.

We're on the verge if history, folks. History.

Obama supporters are chanting today.

Well, y'all just sunk below the level of the Clintonistas. Congrats? :puke:

7. Funny, the only posts I see saying "she's a bitch" all come from
her supporters claiming that Obama supporters are saying "she's a bitch".

Could you link to some of those Obama supporter statements, so I can be reassured that you're not just making shit up?

8. I no longer think Obama can be an adequate president. He is seeming more like cult leader
I don't think he has adequate foreign pokicy experience. He has too much big money backing for someone who is not being specific on issues.

He is getting more money from Goldman Sachs than Clinton and she is the NY Senator. He misrepresents the social security issue=blaming the so called baby boomers for not paying in enough when the problem is that the money they paid went to fund tax cuts for wealthy. He is not being honest on this.

Worse he claimed to be against the Iraq War but he has voted for it since entering the Senate.

He is super messianic, appealing to a emotional need in people rather than reason. Too many of his followers seem cult-like in their adoration.

An uninformed electorate gave Bush 4 years of destruction. This is a repeat.

Our country is in a mess and too many people are looking for a saviour. They want to be mesmerized and are shouting down those asking questions--just like Bushbots did.

Magic Rat, it is time to come down off the high and ask your candidate the tough questions. The Age of Miracles is over and we as a country won't survive another "trust me" presidency.

The followers of Obama have not been peaceful, not here. They have been nasty, vicious. Like freepers. Obama has engendered some ugliness.

I don't see peacefulness. I see deviousness and I see ego.
