The Swiftboating style attacks on Obama will fail in my view.
I may be wrong but this is I believe one of my first topics on this forum. I have refrained from posting topics in the past because I thought that posting in others was enough.

However, This may be my last chance of this race to say this so I will say it now.

Clinton supporters lately I have noticed that some of your fellow members have been acting very strangely. They seemed to have gone from debating over the pick to be the democratic candidate to a mode of scorched earth and desperation.

I wish we had time to calmly deal with this crap one piece at a time. However, This forum is well viewed by people who LOVE this kind of crap so that they may copy it and use it to aid their ranks. This kind of crap is not helping the democrats or the UNITED STATES.

The issue of NAFTA has been going on lately. The usual moaning and groaning over it and people get to vote right? WRONG...

Now today suddenly we see some usual suspects flooding the forum with what I feel is a SWIFTBOAT style attack. Hear me that as of this post I am not denying it completely. HOWEVER, the bullshit alarm goes off for people like me who were republicans in the past and have egged on this time of stuff.

Look Clinton Supporters some of you may think that this is an honest deal. A untied shoe that needs explaining. The problem is the timing. Just about everyone knows the importance of tuesday JUST like they knew election day of 2004. The bullshit alert is sounded when such shit is posted greatly one day before tuesday which indicates it is fully intended to have a shotgun instant effect without giving Obama a chance to say much before the day people decide.

That is a swiftboat attack. Even a 1-2 items have to be halfway true for people to ram the whole thing through like it means anything. It is meant to give people doubt and unsettle things before people decide.

There are smaller Swiftboats going on but this one is the one that tops the puke cake and this needs to be said now.

I will not just stand by an accept such horrific tactics being used against a democrat again. If it stands NOW the republicans will get a green light to use 50 of them during the GE.

Yet some Clinton supporters do not care. They are in scorched earth mode and are desperate. To those I say take your crap elseware. People are tired of your and this whole stack of bullshit.

-------

This race is almost over. If Clinton tries to hold on pending some rumor of scandal than that is destruction to the democratic party that needs to be addressed by the supers who of course knew this FAR before I did.

I am tired of this stuff. Not just for me but for you too Clinton supporters. By some of yall egging this on your are aiding the political destruction of Clinton which is unacceptable. Yall need to stop this mess NOW.

For everyone else. I look forward to this being unofficially over by tomorrow and into the GE by hopefully a few weeks.
