Negative campaigns
Powell Has A Short Memory
Where was Colin Powell when Obama’s campaign was maligning Mrs. McCain for drug dependency? If this is not the definition of a personal attack, then I do not know what is. Check above the fold in MSM newspapers about 2 months ago.
This is so typical of the liberal/Democratic campaign strategy.
Make you personal attacks first, then complain when there is a personal attack response. It is just like the high school. Do it first, the injured person reacting is always the one punished. This type of behavior should embarrass all parties involved. The Democrats for starting it. The Republicans for replying in kind. Worst of all is Powell for weighing in late with blinders on.
Just how far is it?
The distance from Siberia to Alaska is approximately 125 miles.
The Democrats and MSM have made hay with Palin’s comment
about Russia out her back window for weeks now.
The distance from Cuba to Key West is approximately 94 miles.
JFK almost started WW3 over that distance.
I guess it is all about size, 31 miles is a long way if you are a
member of the MSM looking for a reason to justify a personal
attack.
I was only about 14 then and I do not remember any personal
attacks on JFK by the MSM because he was inexperienced or
short-sighted. I do not remember any sarcastic comments
demeaning his character and judgment. When I search for
information now I cannot find comments in history books or
archives which demean JFK because he thought that missiles
in Cuba were too close to the USA.
I do not live in Washington or NYC so I guess I just cannot
understand this high level issues. Kind of reminds me of
high school when the incrowd said something and everyone
just nodded and believed them, well not everyone.
Time out both of you – the country needs real leaders.
Senator Obama did deliver a tremendous speech in 2004 – “Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America: there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America: there’s the United States of America.”
In these especially difficult times, perhaps we should remember its words along with the words of President Kennedy – Ask not …
Perhaps someday one will say Obama’s speech – There is not a liberal America … and everyone will know what he said.
The Obama camp should put some of these words on the office walls. Focus on policies to help our country and our people. Stop the personal attacks. Stop the negative campaigns. Stop being so obstructive concerning backgrounds – try the truth, transparently – have a little faith in your liberal faithful.
The gut response is always directly from the highschool yard – he started it …
Give me a break.
This applies equally well to Senator McCain and his campaign. I am disappointed that you listened to your advisors who pushed the negative campaign agenda. You are better than this. Your record shows it. You have a record to point at. Senator Obama is trying to make one. Think about that.
Take a message of reform to the people. Clean up Washington and get the lobbyist system under control.
