As we speak, this very minute, on “Meet the Press.” I’ll see about Fox News Sunday and “This week with Georgie-Porgie”
What is happening?
Obama is being defined as a “flip-flopper”, as a “untrustworthy Democrat.” Because, at the moment, of his “change” or “lies” or “breaking his promise” on public financing.
This is intolerable, but expected! On “Fox News Sunday,” the “flip-flop” term was part of the lead-in to the story. “Obama’s flip-flop on campaign financing.”
Partly I blame Hillary on this. She started this, but of course McCain and his hyper-partisan wack squad would come up with this too.
McCain is NOT being defined this way. We don’t hear “breaking promises” about McCain. We don’t hear “changing his answer” about John McDepends. We don’t hear any of this shit about him. Just about Barack.
It’s happening right now. How can we change this meme? Does anyone know how to get to these assholes and get them to stop saying this shit?
Someone needs to craft a plausible answer. Here is mine: “Senator Obama has abandoned the failed public financing system for a separate public financing system. His system of public financing, in which millions of patriotic Americans have given him small donations of less than $500 each, is designed to get as many Americans involved in politics as possible. It also allows Senator Obama to fight back against the many Republican groups which use lies and distortions to slander political candidates. Senator Obama has requested that Democratic groups not use these tactics, but Senator McCain will not make similar requests.” Ah, good: Tom Daschle just used this very line.
Who is hostong Meet the Press? That is usually a tell in itself.
Brian Williams, the useless tool
the sunday funnies
there is apparently so little of substance for the RATpublicant’s to run on, that they figure they’ll get some milage from going after obama’s podium symbol:
via LAT: Obama’s campaign seal looks familiar
ya think he’s yanking their chain? “vero possumus“…c’mon! har!
How many right wing outfits have a similar graphic? Ultimately lifted, incidentally, from the great seal of the United States — you know, the one that appears on the back of the dollar bill — just like the Presidential seal was.
In February, the FISA bill was unacceptable.
Now it’s a “compromise”.
That’s certainly a “change” candidate: he changed from someone I could happily vote FOR, to another one of those “well, the Republican is worse” candidates.
