Karl Rove and the RNC are playing the Democrats for Fools, MSM is their Tool
And on this message board (General Discussion Primaries) I sometimes think that (people who describe themselves as) Obama supporters and (people who describe themselves as) Hillary supporters are in a fevered contest to see who can become the Dupes of the Year

Good luck guys! Here is the reward for the winner:



Here is what the country stands to win:



and



Because we do not heed words of wisdom:

5. Not to name names, there are now 6 threads spreading a Washington Times smear about a Dem
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 07:48 PM by McCamy Taylor
candidate, all of which have been started within a few hours of each other. I am not naming names or the smear because it could be any Dem and any Lie. Everyone is doing it this time.

And the Washington Times is a known right wing Moonie owned propaganda rag!

6. Good one. Now a thread in which I criticize a candidate's campaign strategy that has not been active
in a a while has suddenly shot to the top of the GDP forums, as if to remind that candidate's supporters that I have criticized their candidate so they should ignore me---while I am trying to talk about RNC moles and dirty tricks on this board. This is the kind of activity that is making it very difficult for anyone to have meaningful discussions around here.

7. There is no question in my mind that people are being used here.


Tools. That's all of some of them are. They can only play dirty and when confronted seem to know virtually nothing about the actual candidate. They don't link to valid sources and can often not back up their claims.

One about Limbaugh and Clinton repeatedly linked to Limbaugh's site and nowhere else. It went to the very top of the page despite multiple people debunking it with valid links.

12. Rove sows seeds of dissension. He is Satan-lite. Pat Buchanan is
the Lord of Lies.

11. Rove has been latching onto Obama like a leech, sending hims "advice"
in part to get Republicans to vote for him last fall when all the conservative pundits like Will and Kristol were chatting him up. This was "code" for GOPers to cross over party lines, boost Obama to achieve the Brokered Democratic Convention. The moment Obama passed Hillary in delegates, the same pundits began to blast him---and all those GOP cross over votes began to swing to Hillary. Wayne Barret at the Village Voice did an article noting the change in the conservative pundits' tone (although he was at a loss to figure out why they changed their tone) recently.

The GOP has been talking about 1968 and 1972 a lot, esp at MSNBC where they remind their listeners of how bad it was for the Dems then and how bad it can be for them again if they do not have a winner by Denver. Their GOP viewers get the message and go vote for whomever is down.

There is nothing personal about it. Kristol does not heart Hillary now and he did not heart Obama then. Kristol has a hard on for wars for oil and that means McCain.
