It's true. I really think that our candidate takes campaign advice from the corporate media. "He can't go negative!" "Ayers? Who cares!" "That'll turn off the undecided voters!" "(fill in the blank) might be construed as racist!" "Etc.!" He faces an opponent who is obviously, flagrantly ignorant of any and all relevant topics and doesn't even try to build off of that huge advantage. This Entire campaign has frustrated the hell out of me. Mister nice guy will not win against an agressive, well funded, well organized campaign.
Obama's a nobody. His sponsors and associates are the key to identifying him, and thus allowing us to paste a target on him. But they're off limits! The most bizarre premises are foisted by the "moderator",and they're accepted! Joe Lieberman,a democrat, tells the press what McCain's rules will be, and the outcome is assured. What's going on here? We're watching a leninist takeover of the United States Government occuring, and can't think of anything but weak talking points to prevent this. Are we throwing this thing or what? Do we want to win? What are we afraid of?
Look up "Primo Carnera" and "Owney Madden" sometime to see an earlier example of the same phenomenon in the world of sports.
