Republicans go negative?
How about everything that gets posted at KOS and DemUn?
And there is no ‘demonizing’ a socialist, they do it well enough on their own thank you very much.
Note that none of the “I hate negative campaigning folks” have debated the merits of the arguments put forth by negative campaigning. Is it negative campaigning to point out the fact that Obama has a history of hanging out with radicals who hate our country, and in some cases, have attacked its institutions and killed its citizens? Is it negative to point out the fact that his association with ACORN involved intimidating banks into giving loans to risky borrowers? Is it negative campaigning to point out the fact that he participated in an educational foundation with an admitted, arrogant, unrepentant terrorist, and that the foundation’s goals included the education of Chicago schoolchildren in how to be radicals?
Candidates in political campaigns have to do at least two things: 1) convince people to vote for them, and 2) convince people that voting for the other candidate(s) would have a negative or even dangerous effect. What you see as negative campaigning, I see as fulfilling goal #2 of political campaigns.
I suggest that those complaining about “negative campaigning” need to man up.
Oh, and PING!
I don't even want Baldwin to be president if I could appoint him. He's a chicken____!!!
This egomaniac cares for more about his ego than his country. Shame on him and anyone who votes for him. It's a vote for Obama.
Exactly.
And also note that the ‘academics’ have decided to ‘support’ Ayers the UNREFORMED and UNREPENTANT terrorist.

Baldwin may not even be on the ballot in enough states to win 270 electoral votes, and even if he were, he’d still have no chance to win. But some people like throwing away their votes apparently.
Yup... and I’ve seen articles posted here in which writers are referring to Ayers as a “so-called” and “alleged” leftist. Riiiight. That picture of him stomping on an American flag in a Chicago magazine article indicate his profound conversion to patriotism.
>>Wake up Republicans you are your own worse enemy as your policies destroy you from within. <<
I’m a registered Independent who supports Sarah Palin. Unless she is voted in, she slides into obsurity. If she wins, every one of us sends money to the GOP FOR her. Written plainly on the check.
Now is not the time to teach lessons (as a dear FRiend of mine stated last night) Now is the time to act to get an actual conservative in the White House.
We should be saying, four years of McCain isn’t going to be all that bad.
Sarah changed his mind on drilling, what else can she do? We’ll never know if we don’t get her in.
You can state it all you want, any way you want, but past is past and the big 0 will take this country down the tubes for sure. McCain/Palin may not. I’ll take my chances with the second, rather than pick the sure thing on my own self-righteousness.
And he proudly states that he feels he didn’t do enough.
That’s right... the general election is not the time to be teaching lessons. We should’ve done that effectively in the primaries, but we didn’t. Now we have a reasonably conservative McCain, and a seriously conservative Palin, and they’re the only things standing in the way of a zealously pro-abortion socialist with radical America-hating friends occupying the White House. It’s not the time to stand on principle - it’s the time for pragmatism.
And if McCain/Palin lose, and they lose by less than the percentage of people voting for relatively conservative third-party candidates, I’m going to be in the face of every one of these third-party voter I know from now until 2012, blaming them for giving us 0bama.
Sorry, they could never convince me that Bush was more dangerous than Gore or Kerry. What were they trying to do? Elect Gore or Kerry.
Then I got to thinking that they get to go out there and try to fool gullibles (like me) that they really were more pure than the Republicans.
The truth is they care not one twit about their country. If they really did, they would be running as Republicans where they have a chance at actually getting elected. I have to assume they don't want to run that risk. It's more fun to stand there, beating their chests and asking voters to look at them--they're so virtuous!! They are cowards and egomaniacs.
And our so-called principled protest voters may be directly responsible for putting his buddy in the White House.
Amen!
They have the added benefit of not being muddied by the two major parties, and can stand on the sidelines when this country starts to disintegrate, and say, “See, I TOLD you this would happen!”
Apparently they’re not confident in their abilities to actually win as Republicans. And when your candidate as nutty as Chuck Baldwin, that shouldn’t come as a surprise.
*protest voter emulation*
“But.. it’s to SEND A MESSAGE!”
*End protest voter emulation*
I thought ‘sending messages’ went out with ‘sending messages’ to the vietcong in ‘75’..
If those brilliant peoples's minds* were right, the Dems should be cowering in hidey-holes like Sadaam for fear of the public's retribution.
Instead, they are poised to destroy America once and for all.
Nancy to Barney and Harry, "As long as we control the mediots and so called conservatives, who suffer from BDS and blame Bush for everything. We, the elite/rich/white liberal criminals in Congress will have no problem. Just remember everything is Bush's fault! Heh! Heh!"
*Now the same mentally ill idiots filled with same BDS, want Sarah and John to lose to really teach America a lesson.
This is rather long, but it’s an exhaustive defense for those of us who are rejecting the supposed “choice” we have this election.
Yep you nailed it ........... That’s why I’m rejecting that Swamp water preacher.
Now in their latest suicidal action, they want us to hand the country over to 0baMa0, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Frank and other anti Americans.
Too bad. History of mankind {Bible} shows that righteousness of a few eventually wins over wrong of many.
