Do you mean, “Will the truth come out about Obama?”

[unkus]

Obama must be Swift Boated in a smart, effective way. It must show how he is a threat to the survival of our way of life and safety.

[avacado]

Only emasculated men vote for the Democratic Party. And any man voting for Obama is an emasculated wuss.

[Kleebo151]

Whatever will be done has to be done soon. Today’s Rasmussen has Obama taking a 3% lead over McCain for the first time in a while. The media is helping him greatly.

[RexBeach]

Obama-Jama is still trying very, very hard to convince us that he really isn’t Obama - he’s some other guy.

Even a sub title on a Washington Post editorial yesterday said Mr. Obama’s next step in the campaign is to develop “substance”. This implies there isn’t any, and the Post is way in the tank for Mr. O.

God save us. This man is a communist.

[The_Reader_David]

swiftboat, v. to expose facts about a political candidate's past detrimental to his/her electoral chances, esp. when mischaracterized as slander by the candidate's supporters, applied particularly to exposes of left-leaning candidates in American Presidential politics.

[Maverick68]

I like to call it “truthboating”....

[Ouderkirk]

Obama will be swift-boated...by Hillary !!!

[SMARTY]

Plagiarizing myself from elsewhere:

Obama and his shrew of a wife are headed for a real cold shower in November....

Don’t believe that? Ask John Kerry. He’ll remind Obama how endorsements from America’s enemies (at home and abroad) can really ‘sink your boat’....he he he...

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

And it needs to begin right now.

[steve-b]

The Hagee problem (more damaging to McCain than Wright is to Obama because McCain actively sucked up to Hagee for his endorsement) makes it impossible for McCain to play that card.

[Red Badger]

Obama will be “Swift-Toileted”.......

[Red Badger]

Just what is “The Hagee problem “?.........I haven’t heard about it.....

[goodnesswins]

"Do you mean, “Will the truth come out about Obama?”

EXACTLY!

[goodnesswins]

So, McCain went to Hagee’s church for 20 years? (Um, No.) So, McCain based a book he wrote on Hagee’s words? (Um, No.) So, McCain had Hagee marry he and his wife, and baptize their children? (Um, No.) Pray, tell....”sucked up” is something ALL politicians do...and Obama is a product of the Chicago sucking machine.....so, please, pray tell how Hagee is a problem for McCain?

[Interesting Times]

On the contrary, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were effective with their anti-Kerry message because it was a substantive one. The facts were on their side. The fact was that Kerry's entire chain of command, every officer under whom Kerry served in Vietnam, questioned his fitness to be Commander-in-Chief. Many Kerry detractors were Democrats but they were also proud and decorated veterans who believed that Kerry had acted dishonorably and that his campaign was being run disingenuously. Theirs was a legitimate perspective for the country to hear.

Precisely. The complete story is available here.

Swiftboat - verb

To tell politically uncomfortable truths about a Democrat.

[TNCMAXQ]

If McCain is smart, and that is a big IF, he will hit on Obama’s far left voting record not only in the US Senate but also in the state senate. Of course his US Senate record must be pretty flimsy as he has spent half his term running for president. Anyway, Obama has a really soft on crime record that should make him very vulnerable. This is an indication of the bleeding heart, PC type judges he will appoint. This should be a winning issue for McCain, IF he chooses to use it.

[Americanexpat]

Millions and millions of Americans are going to vote for Obama, for change, without ever asking what that change will be. Dumbasses all.
