The GOP wants Obama to be the Nominee!

[bluebellbaby]

Here's a link from U.S. News and World Report

http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/campaign-2008/2008/05/02/gop-prefers-to-face-obama-rather-than-clinton.html


I guess the truth finally comes out...explains why the M$M has been bashing Hillary for so long...the corporate owners know they can beat Obama in November...

[washingdem]

1. Funny, I've read the same thing about them wanting to face Hillary. Many times.

I guess you only put credence in this one though.

[papau]

18. That Hillary is GOP was put out by the Smear and lie Obama machine for a year

[washingdem]

50. But this one's legit?

[JoFerret]

2. Of course they do

They hardly need strategists to write their campaign theme and chart the tactics.

What is unknown is the degree of success.

With Obama's electoral weakness against fellow dems to say there is reason for concern is to put it mildly.

[Exilednight]

22. Here, allow me to write the GOP's first attack ad for them .......

Full color shot of Hillary Clinton Maybe something like this:


Cue in voice over from announcer: Hillary Clinton says John McCain brings the most experience to the White House.

Camera slowly zooms in until only her face is on the screen.

Cue in Hillary voice over:
John McCain brings a lifetime of experience, Barack brings a speech he made in 2002.

Picture slowly fades to John McCain.

Picture fades back out.

Cue in Bill Clinton photo. Maybe something like this:


Cue in voice over from announcer: This is what former Democratic President Bill Clinton had to say about Barack Obama's candidacy.

Cue in Bill Clinton voice over: Give me a break, this whole thing is the biggest fairytale I've ever seen.

Cue in voice over from announcer: Obama's fellow Democrats agree, he's not ready. Vote John McCain.

Gee, thanks Bill and Hill, you've just given us four more years of McSame.

[democracy1st]

33. Clintons side with Richard Mellon Scaife and uses rightwing pundits to attack Obama

and you come with this nonsense :wtf:

[Exilednight]

60. I'm just stating the obvious. Don't come down on me for what Hillary has done to our nominee. n/t

[Cha]

42. They could run together as a team..

[DJ13]

3. ...explains why the M$M has been bashing Hillary for so long..

:rofl:

[Tribetime]

47. Bluebell must be getting different cable news channels than me

[cliffordu]

4. MAN I loves me some PIZZA!!! If I can't get me no pizza, I love

POPCORN!!!! :popcorn:

[Elidor]

17. They don't even try to be subtle anymore

I wonder what his/her name was yesterday?

[The Ghost]

5. Of course they are gonna say that NOW

since hes about to clinch the nomination. Do you think they are now gonna say now 'But we wanted Hillary!!!!!'

[newmajority]

6. Lunch time! Who wants pizza?

[backscatter712]

7. That just explained Operation Chaos.

Limbaugh calling his dittoheads to vote for Hillary, just so Obama can be the nominee? BRILLIANT!

[goldcanyonaz]

8. OP take cover!! INCOMING!

[DJ13]

9. Thats called sniper fire

:rofl:

[habitual]

10. ah yes, always good to trust what the GOP says... as they

never lie.

[reflection]

11. Good. Their judgement hasn't been rock solid lately. n/t

[Donkeykick]

12. K&R

Great thread. I was just talking about this in another thread too. Again, thanks! :thumbsup:

[AllentownJake]

13. Really?

Than why has the GOP stopped attacking Hillary and started focusing only on Obama in the past month?

Why does O'Reilley give Hillary a fluff interview.

[99th_Monkey]

14. I guess Rush didn't get the memo, huh? ~nt~

[NashVegas]

15. Ya Can't Take These Things Seriously

Unless you take it on faith they wouldn't lie to the press? Or that they aren't idiots?

[davsand]

16. Nice to know they agree with the majority of Dem voters. That really IS a change!

Looks like Obama is a shoe-in come November if it is true the GOP plans to support him!


:woohoo:

[Kokonoe]

19. Obama is the nominee!

If they want him so bad, why do they delude that Clinton is going to win.

"We should have caught on when she teared up in New Hampshire and
did that shot and beer in Pennsylvania," said a Republican official.

:rofl:

[RainDog]

29. They know Obama is the nominee

and they have switched tactics, as has been noted here before.

at this point, the republicans are trying to discourage Clinton voters so that they will not back the democratic ticket. previously, they had Limbaugh calling on his listeners to vote for Hillary in open primaries... and many have admitted that they did. They have been and are trying to sow divisiveness within the democratic party.

The republicans had Jonah Goldberg's mom, Lucienne, as a mole in the McGovern campaign. She's also, what a surprise, a buddy of Linda Tripp and helped Tripp to expose Lewinsky in order to hurt Bill Clinton's campaign for re-election... and to have their own "watergate" and impeachment so that they wouldn't look like the sewer-sucking scumbags that they are.

Make no mistake, the republicans are willing to do just about anything to undermine democrats.

Please, OP, do not be so gullible. The republicans are going use their psy-ops in every way they can. This is just my guess, but, say, oh, over the next week or two, I bet we start hearing from Cheney about how "safe" we are because of Bush. Why would they start this now? Because they know Obama is the nominee. Because republicans run on fear. They cannot offer anything else at this moment.

Since the republicans already know they are in deep shit with the most unpopular president in history, I would expect them to be esp. down and dirty... that's all they've got. gutter politics.

[zulchzulu]

20. Yeah, that's why they want the Wright story to be on 24/7 so Hillmonster "wins"

Believe me...the RNC is very disappointed that they won't have TWO Clintons to run against in the fall.

Once Obama takes on McSame front and center, look for McSame to be an even worse candidate than Bob Dole. Watch and learn.

[gristy]

21. Please tell me why I or anyone else should care who the GOP wants to be the Dem nominee

I'm serious. Explain WHY I should care who the GOP claims to want for a Democratic candidate in the GE, and particularly why this should influence my perception of the candidates and which candidate I should favor. Get on it.

The GOP is the opposition party, you know. But maybe you don't, Mr. 22-post wonder with no profile.

[bluebellbaby]

28. It's Ms. by the by...haven't had time to put my profile in...this is my 1st day off in 5 weeks

To your 1st question...I thought we wanted to win the White House in the GE this november...shouldn't we as democrats be aware of what the opposition thinks...?

Was I wrong to post the link then?

[gristy]

37. No

No one here should care who the GOP claims to want for a Democratic candidate in the GE. As far as "being aware" what the "opposition thinks", if you think you can glean that from what they say, think again.

[bluebellbaby]

45. Okay,,,good point...the republicans do lie alot...

[Auntie Bush]

54. Welcome to the hostel world of GD:P and good luck...you'll need it!

:hi: I hope you took a good look at this place before you joined and posted. It isn't the place to be if you're at all sensitive and be prepared to be totally slammed and stepped on every time you post...comes with the territory. Ain't many Hillary supporters left here...only us brave ones. :hug:

[grantcart]

23. welcome to DU and enjoy your brief stay

[bluebellbaby]

27. Why do you say brief stay...do you know something I don't?

[AllentownJake]

30. People with low post

Who post inflammatory statements as an introduction tend not to stay around here long. Take a look at the rules at the top of the forum and make sure you don't break them or they will delete your account.

Anyway Welcome.

[bluebellbaby]

32. Thanks for the suggestions...I've already read the rules...but they don't seem to be followed

that often here...I mean no disrespect to anyone here...I didn't think a post with a link to current affairs and reports was inflammatory...

Thanks for the welcome...just thought we as dems needed to know what was being said...

[AllentownJake]

39. No Problem

We have a problem with people who are actually Republicans creating accounts on here to stir up shit between democrats. People with lower posting are largely suspected till they've been here for a while. Don't take offense to it. Everyone who is knew here is viewed suspiciously until they've been here for a while. I went through it a few months ago to so people are just being cautious because it is a known GOP web tactic.

[RainDog]

31. he said that b/c your post is a republican campaign strategy

because you quote what some republican shill says as some sort of truth. because you repeat the republican strategy at this time to try to discourage unity.

that's why.

we'll see if you're a troll or not.

[bluebellbaby]

36. U.S. News and World Reports is "republican shill"? Wow...they have divided us...

I guess divide and conquer would be appropriate...what's a troll...?

[AllentownJake]

40. A troll

Is someone who is a republican that comes on here to get us to attack each other or get us angry enough to say stupid things.

[bluebellbaby]

48. Thanks for the definition...I've been a registered Democrat for 28 years

I can scan my elections card onto my computer and post it...really...we need to be united by August...no matter who's the nominee...

[AllentownJake]

49. Don't worry

Its part of being new. People who disagree with you are going to assume your a republican. Enjoy it here.

Spend some time in General Discussion as well...its a little saner there.

[RainDog]

41. no. USNews is reporting what the republican shills are saying

the republican shills are the republicans in the article who are spouting the "new talking points" for the gop.

understand the difference? big difference.

a troll is someone who comes on the board who is a republican pretending to be a democrat. There have been quite a few of them here. That's why I said that we'll see... I'm not saying you are a troll. I'm saying that's why you might be perceived as one at this time.

[gristy]

46. "What's a troll?"

:rofl:

[grantcart]

55. low post count + flame bait OP + hide profile -- these guys don't stay long

[flpoljunkie]

24. Really, now?

[azmouse]

25. Who the hell cares what the GOP wants?

Do you think they pick their candidate based on what WE think? F*** 'em.

[democracy1st]

35. thank u

[Bensthename]

26. "explains why the M$M has been bashing Hillary for so long"... LMFAO. Good one..

I dont even know where to start. Im not sure what CHANNEL you are watching but all of the channels I can think of have been fighting for their queen so hard it has turned people off (in Obama's favor finally)..

[AJH032]

34. well duh

That's why he consistently wins the GOP/conservative vote in our open primaries.

[ericgtr]

38. Sorry but this is a joke the GOP wants Hillary in a bad way

and so does the MSM or they wouldn't be giving her and McCain a free pass with Wright coverage 24/7.

[blm]

43. You have a lousy sense of perspective if you think media and GOP wanted Obama when

Clintons have always provided great cover for the fascist agenda they protect for Poppy Bush and his cronies, and provide great fodder for the braindead GOP base.

Clintons' Dog and Pony Show is DEAD to the many who have had their eyes opened to their longterm protection of BushInc.

[jenmito]

44. You better give Rush the memo. "Operation Chaos" is still in full effect.

[marcus3xw]

51. obama will struggle winning florida and ohio

hillary is clearly the stronger candidate. unfortunately for her the dnc primary system is flawed

[AlinPA]

52. And they continue to trash Obama during this primary and urge R's to vote

for Clinton in open primaries, and to register as Democrats to vote for Clinton now.

[Auntie Bush]

58. That has nothing to do with who they prefer to run against. It has to do

with "Operation Chaos". They just want our primary to continue in hopes of permanently dividing our party. Sadly, it looks like it's working!

[Vinca]

53. Explains why MSM has been bashing Hillary for so long?

How have you managed to avoid 24/7 coverage of Reverend Wright, still going on throughout today, timed to sink him in the next 2 primaries? The corporate-owned media wants Hillary. She's their only hope to get McCain elected and keep their war profits rolling in.

[Faygo Kid]

56. Exactly. They fear Obama; they could live with K Street Hillary.

Obama means change.

Hillary means a period of adjustment.

[Palatino]

59. The reverend Wright hit parade occured when It was too late to hurt Obama.

If you were a candidate, would you prefer to be trashed for months until you are down 130 delegates? Or would you like to have your reverend bashed when it was too late for it to make you lose the primaries? Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Weekly Standard, Drudge, mostly all right-wingers knocked Hil out of the race and only started bashing Obama when they learned he was going to be the nominee--when it would be of no benefit to their hated Hillary.

[tekisui]

57. So do I!!!

[Tresalisa]

61. Howdy, and welcome to DU!

I mean that sincerely. :hi:

The GOP will go after whomever is our nominee, and fiercely, and it doesn't matter whether it's Clinton or Obama. They're getting the ammo on both of our candidates through this long primary. Our mission, should we choose to accept it, (Cue the music - dum-da-dum-dumnnnm dum-da-dum-dummm, da-da-daaaaaaaa.....) is to work hard for our candidate when we get this all finalized. Hopefully we can all get together on this once the dust has settled and complete the mission.
