None of us should have any illusions, the swift boating will start next week
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 11:10 PM by still_one
Through Sinclair/ABC stations in key battle ground states, they will call Obama a terrorist saying he was part of the weather underground, or that if the Democrats win the terrorists win

Obama's speech was just what was needed, and he pre-empted them on those issues, plus the real ones that will affect us

What he did tonight was NOT give the chance for the republicans to define him, but clearly state where he was on the issues. However, the most remarkable and refreshing thing was that he turned the tables on the republicans, and defined the republicans, and what they have stood for the past 8 plus years, something that the Democrats have not been doing

Even though the MSM was for the most part favorable to us on this last night, we must NOT be fooled that they will report things fairly, and we must fight back even harder, especially when the lies start coming

It would be nice if this was a debate about the issues, but it won't be, because the issues are on our side, and the rovian machinary cannot fight us on the issues, only with lies and treachery

5. No question about it, Obama threw it right back at them, and as you stated
we are ready for them this time

but very gosh sakes this is still going to be very tough if you have a media propagating those lies

The good news is that Obama will not stand by while it happens

As he said WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!

10. Grammar cop here: None of us should have illusions
If we had allusions, we'd all be making reference to something.

Other than that, I agree with you. It will be nasty and ugly from tomorrow AM and forward.
