Obama to confront WJC ..whats not to like ? ..DU finds plenty

[Blarch]

I can't believe this. Obama thinks he is being attacked by WJC with half truths and lies ..He vows to confront these lies, something Kerry should have done in 2004, but failed to do so.

How could this be a bad idea ? Are some of you implying it would be better to NOT confront someone that is smearing you in a campaign ?

DU, where are you ? ..lets be consistent.

1. BHO would then have to confront his own lies and half truths.

[Little Star]

2. Yes he will!

[theredpen]

3. OK, OK, so our candidates are a bunch of liars

Who's the least lying scumbag so I can decided who to support?

AND DON'T SAY "KUCINICH"!

[MNDemNY]

5. Help by keeping these two at each others throats.

Onward to a brokered convention, where we can nominate a real Democrat from the "non-of-the-above" column.

[Blarch]

6. Ya, lets throw all those American votes away...

and pick a candidate behind closed doors for the people.

This is acceptable to you ?

[MNDemNY]

7. Any way to dump the two pandering corprate hacks.

We are being spoon fed these two assholes. Enjoy your lunch.

14. I'd be happy with a brokered convention if we got Edwards (or Dodd!)

But it is kinda a "stop us before we vote again" move. I think I have to side with Democracy.

Also, Clinton is leading in pre-pledged superdelagates — a brokered convention might be the DLC's wet dream.

[MNDemNY]

18. Or Gore.

[theredpen]

21. Gore (tail wagging)

[Blarch]

4. So if he is the nominee...

he should let the GOP walk all over him ? Do you think Kerry took the right path in not confronting the Swift boat attacks ?

8. I like! I like! let him top his Reagan blunder - it'll be fun!

Didn't this happen already, BTW?

[Blarch]

9. Invoking Reagan isn't a blunder

attacking Reagan is a blunder. There are millions of Reagan democrats and Dixiecrats that are about to vote in their primary.

[terisan]

10. so it's just politics as usual? would they like shoots withtheir "panda" politics?

[Blarch]

13. Yep.

Gotta win over the center to win the GE. Just the facts jack.

The moderates, Independents, fence sitters, Blue dog dems, Reagan democrats, and Dixiecrats will all decide the election.

[LittleClarkie]

22. Have you been reading Mother Jones

Heh. I loved their candidate chart, and esp. the little panda icon for pandering.

[Jamastiene]

19. In the real world, neither a Reagan Democrat nor a Dixiecrat

would EVER vote for a black man. Not in a million years. Don't delude yourself into believing that. It will backfire on you and your candidate.

[mondo joe]

11. He can confront as he likes. IMO, this will be a blunder for him. But it's his right to do so.

[JackRiddler]

12. CAN WE PUT THREADS LIKE THIS INTO THE FORUM DESIGNED FOR THEM ALREADY? PLEASE?!!!

[Cha]

15. You mean it should be

over in the political one?

[JackRiddler]

17. Yes, just as was the case on DU in 2004

-when the political (at that time "primary") forum was created so that GD could be freed of campaign PR.

[Cha]

20. That would be fine with me..

as it is I have to wander over here to see what the posters in gd have to say about the issues.
