Republican Dirty Tricks

Lelu — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 17:38:36 EDT

The Republican camp will try recreate the 2004 surprise where John Kerry who was expected to win ended up losing. I hope Democrats followed them well till election is over. The way i see it, Democrats will need to make sure that people get to the voting stations. Democrats need to keep a wide eye on the Republican dirty and dishonest political tricks. What Obama has shown is that if Democrats need to win back rural and small town America, they are going to have to send missions into these regions to reshape the candid mindsets of small town America and prevent Republicans from further taking advantage these people. The majority of small town America simply hasn't discovered yet that the Republican party is simply using their votes to win election and leave them in the dark afterward.

About Tonight Debate

Lelu — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:08:19 EDT

The problem that undoes John McCain's old reputation as a maverick is the fact that he knew the Bush, Cheney, Rove, and the rest of the Republican clan had been wrong about the country and still he continued to caucus and support them in Congress and Washington DC. No disrespect, but that's not putting country and American people first. You can't be supporting Bush for 8 years and now wants to claim that you haven't been one of them. Obama is right and right again. McCain threw his support behind Republican clan over the past 8 years. So, he can't come out right now to claim that he has been a maverick. John McCain's maverick statements and his facts just don't coincide.

About The Last Debate

Lelu — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:14:08 EDT

I can only hope that Democrats don't become complacent in the final weeks of the campaign. John McCain will bring all he gets in this debate tonight. So, I hope Obama gets ready on everything McCain had done in his past in order to hold him accounttable as well. John McCain will make statements and don't pay attention if those statements contradict his past. So, Obama might need to get ready to hold him accountable for each contradictory statement.

I have News For The Republican Party

Lelu — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:44:21 EDT

Republicans rose up to power with Bush together in 2000 and Bush is their Republican colleague. Remember all the great cheers for Bush and Rove, as true patriots they should fall with him together if he screws up the nation. I believed they enjoyed the cake with him in propitious time and now they are running away from him. If Republicans can't use the last 8 year records of their party to push for another mandate in Congress and the White House, they should not try to distract the public attention with false accusations, but concede to defeat.

Palin's Ambition vs Her Knowledge

Lelu — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:16:31 EDT

Ambition can be a virtue if it used to excel or succeed in an acceptable fashion. To me, the acceptable manner demands the knowledge that corresponds to the level of one's ambition. Palin meets the first criteria to success. That's being ambitious. However, she fails to have the knowledge to match that ambition.

The Republican Party Philosophy

Lelu — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:58:41 EDT

I believe Republicans love America, but what they are unintentionally creating is a wild wild west American civilization. Their understanding of how to create and manage a fair and progressive society is dead wrong. Republicans love an America where everybody is on your own, regardless the wealthy gets wealthier at the expense of the working class and the working class gets poorer. That's the phylosophy that governs or shapes Republican party concept of a healthy economy. What the Republican party fails to understand is that working class Americans are the embodiment of a healthy economy. The wealthy makes his money on the back of the working class people. That's a proven fact. So, the sector of a society which needs help the most from the government is the working class. The worse part of the situation is that on every election cycle, Republicans came up with their tax cards to try to distort Democrats tax policies, and also want working Americans to forget about their economic struggle and vote on guns and religions. Again they can delay progress, but remember that progress can never be never defeated. And if i am not stretching the fact, the Republicans' thinking has always trailed the Democrats' by maybe a century.

News For Republican Party

Lelu — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:25:56 EDT

Republicans will be arguing that they need to have some power for check and balance. Well, they were in power over the last 8 years to make sure that Main Street were able to receive good paying checks and Wall Street was balanced. What we observed was that Main Street was on the society over the last 8 years while Wall Street was the ownership society. I think Main Street now should provide the Republican party the space to be on its own society.

News For Obama And McCain

Lelu — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:51:42 EDT

The way i see it, if McCain can't and won't bring all the accusations the Republican party and he approved agaisnt Obama in the ads in Obama's face during the next debate, than Obama must call him and his camp a bunch of cowards. And a coward is not a quality for a president. I don't know about you ladies and gentlemen, but to me, Obama must make it clear that if McCain wants a debate about association, then he has one more chance to bring it on in the last debate. He can't be running ads over the TVs accusing someone guilty by association or participation, and he is being a coward about bringing it up in the debate. You guys have to make it clear to McCain that he has the next debate to bring on 'who is the real Obama?'. That's the way i see it. And Obama, i trully believe with all determination, should not be afraid to bring on Palin abuse of power over her firing of the Alaska safety commissioner. And then Palin is calling herself maverick who will change Washington. And then her husband belongs to a camp that advocates the independence of Alaska from United States. That's patriotic of Palin to marry a secessionist. That's also Palin who is accusing Obama of seeing the union as imperfect enough while paling with secessionists. Just imagine a vice-president of the United States of America whose spouse is supporting the secession of a state from the union. My good indication is that Democrats will regret if they fail to take on Palin on these two issues.

Democrats Need To Take On Palin

Lelu — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:32:05 EDT

It's is amazing how Palin has managed to turn herself into a master of distortion of political facts. Somebody is sending her out there to reshape to her advantage whatever Obama has said. She is trying to draw a divisive line that, if successful, can put a question mark on top of Obama's head. If she is allowed to create a reasonable doubt about Obama in the public opinion, she will have done her job. That's what i am reading from her speeches. Democrats must do something about her. I have no doubt that she has done a lot in Alaska that can be used against her.

Conservatives vs Progressives

Lelu — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:36:49 EDT

There are those who believe that human being wasn't born perfect and is required to constantly continue learning to refine their perception and update their knowledge. They are the ones once recognized their imperfection can rise above it and create a better world. There are others who believe that human being was born perfect, and can't and should not try to improve himself. Although humanity had to invent scripts, they believe that the original scripts can't and should not be altered to improve from what the originals didn't know and couldn't understand, effectively sealing and consenting to the conceptual thinking of the originals. The formulas of the originals are testaments of as far as they could think or perhaps as much as they could do. There are the progressives and the retrogressives, to say the least the conservatives. The human machine is similar to a computer that demands software to function. If that machine is fed up with a bad software or in other words if improperly educated, can become both self-destructive and destructive to others. Human history, times and times again, has justified that progress can be delayed, but can never be defeated. Whether implicitly or explicitly written, it has always been left to a future generation to improve the scripts of its former generation. Sometimes, the future generation have worsened what the former generation couldn't have accomplished. Again, progress can be delayed but, it can never be defeated. The history of humanity has always been a constant struggle between two camps: the progressives and the conservatives. The resistance to progress in the conservative bloc is a testimony of how much progress they have thwarted against a better world. Imagine more than 6 billion human beings still living in caves today.

Democrats Need To Take On Palin As Well

Lelu — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:27:32 EDT

Man, i am looking at the whole thing. Democrats need to take a swipe at Palin on TV. She is running all over the place like nobody can't say anything about her. You know, Democrats will regret it if they leave her to attack Obama while running away from her own mess. Something needs to be done about her attacks.

Democrats Are Really Missing Palin

Lelu — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:13:21 EDT

Democrats might need to take some serious swaps against Palin instead of leaving the field to her to criticize Obama. I don't know what is so difficult about that. I believe she has a long record in Alaska. Now, she has nobody attacking her, so all she has to do is to attack Obama and promote John McCain. I believe she needs to be placed in a position to defend herself and if she doesn't have to defend herself, then she will continue to attack. And my guess is that Democrats might regret it if they fail to take her to tasks.

Give McCain No Chance Tonight

Lelu — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:07:48 EDT

In this debate tonight McCain will try to score a success. The way i see it, Obama must do all he has to do to deny him that success. I wll be watching.

Democrats Need To Fire On Palin As Well And Not Just McCain

Lelu — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:34:47 EDT

I don't know why Democrats can't seriously attack Palin characters and ambitions. She has a story in Alaska and also one on the campaign trail. I am watching that woman. She has really nothing to offer better than Bush. All she wants is to be president although she has no clue about the role of a vice-president. That's the way i see it. Democrats better expose her. She wants to make a shame of Obama, why can't Democrats make a shame of her?

Democrats Need to Attack Palin Also

Lelu — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:00:11 EDT

Palin is being investigated for abusing her power. At first, she agreed to cooperate with the investigation. Since becoming VP nominee, she has not only refused to testified and also has encouraged her subbordinates not to testify in a case that potentially can prove her guilty of abusing her power. Democrats should press on that issue hard. Then, she has managed to avoid as many media interviews as possible to prevent the public from discover her lack of knowledge and understanding of the issues. If she can't handle tough media questions that are not accountable for, how is she going to be the vice-president and possibly president? On those subjects, i think Democrats are really missing for not going after her. That doesn't mean to give McCain a break, but she needs to be questioned very tough by the media.

I Got Words For Palin

Lelu — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:42:11 EDT

Well, What do we have here. She was the greatest celebrity on 29 Aug 2008. Now, her star is fading and thinks that she only has one chance to win. That 's to assassinate someone's characters. American voters won't be blinded by an empty beauty.

Democrats Have No Time To Be Complacent

Lelu — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:17:22 EDT

The McCain and Palin camp has no remaining ammunitions and now will try to reverse the course of the campaign using their teeths to assassinate someone's characters. They are really desperate now. What Democrats have in front of them now is the equivalent of a beast that is cornered and therefore, will use whatever mean to destroy its opponent. To me here is the way i see it, if Democrats want to win, they should waste no time or not be afraid of taking McCain and Palin together down by exposing their own controversial past connections, which i think are even worse than those of Obama. Democrats attacks should be swift and decisive. They want to destroy your characters, then why should you be afraid of destroying theirs?

I Got News For Rove

Lelu — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:02:52 EDT

You know, I think Rove comment that Obama would get at least 273 electoral votes is an invitation for complacency. When was the last time Rove wanted a Democrat to win the presidency? Democrats should take no credit about Rove comment. The comment is an appeal to invite Democrats to think that they will win, without taking into account that there are another 4 more weeks left in the campaign and the public has voted yet, in effect leaving the campaign field to Republicans to try to recover. The last time around Kerry thought he had already won the election before the public even voted. In return, Rove surprised him with a second victory for Bush. Rove has used that trick before. Before Democrats realized it, Kerry had already lost. Man, the last thing Democrats need to listen to are good wishes from Rove.

I Got News For Palin

Lelu — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:00:58 EDT

For Palin to refer to Obama as a friend of terrorist sounds really, really, and really desperate on the McCain camp side. Please, make no mistake about it. Democrats should go out there and FORCEFULLY expose Palin as a desperate and excessively ambitious politician so ill-prepared to be vice-president that she has to refer to a US senator as a friend or sympathizer of terrorist. Well, she doesn't know much about the US economy, she doesn't know the role of a vice-president, she couldn't understand what the $700 billion bailout was for, and the list goes on, so she is trying to switch or destract from the election discussion. Palin thought she won the debate. But, the majority of voters in America have come to the understanding that the choice of a VP should not be measured on a scale of physical beauty. So, people came to the conclusion that she lost the debate. So, having no sight of victory and unable to take on Biden and Obama to tasks about major political, economic, and social issues, she is trying to connect presidential candidates to terrorists thinking that the American people will believe her and turn against Obama and Biden. Not only she is so ambitious, the worst thing is that she is also brainwashed when it comes to the critical is issues that people want to hear about. Man, the way i see it Democrats should should take no chance to underestimate the gravity of her statement and should take her to task about it all over the news.

I Have News For Biden

Lelu — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:05:53 EDT

The way i see it, if Biden lets her win this debate, what will happen over TVs for at least a week might cause Obama his lead. She will preoccupy the news for at least a week. Then it will be harder for Obama to fight a two front competitions against McCain and Palin, and then Biden will probably go down in History as one of the worst running mate. The worst thing is that there won't be another vice-presidential debate, brother. Look, she used McCain to help her and teach her how to give an interview in front of CBS again and she has already been making fun of Biden in front of the camera. Biden has the best openning to unleash a salvo of attack against her, but he he has refused to do so. You know, Biden begins to make me think that he is weak for her. I thought when she said she can see Russia from Alaska, Biden was going to respond that he has been in Russia and Moscow and that our relations with Russia don't begin from the maritime borders with Alaska, but in Moscow. And to know Russia, you have to pass through Moscow. I don't even think that she knows the location of Moscow on the map. And if she begins to cry after the answer, provide her with a handkerchief to wipe off her eyes followed by another question. And if someone says Biden is a chauvinist, then he ought to reply that the vice-presidential campaign is not a Miss Wasilla contest. Well, I can see the moon from the horizon, but it doesn't tell me what's on the moon.

Biden should make sure he doesn't feel sorry for Palin

Lelu — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:01:51 EDT

Democrats fought very hard on behalf of women so that she is able to stand on a stage next to a man and compete for the same job today. For Republicans to criticise Democrats as sexists is very hypocritical since it was Republican conservatives who believed and have always believed that women shouldn't have equal right to men. The chair of the vice-presidency looks nice and everybody wants it. The vice-presidential chair at the White House does not know the difference between a man and a woman when a signature is required to make the right decision on behalf of the United States. So, if she can't stand the heat, than she should get out of the race. To me, Democrats and critics should not worry about her feminist status before questionning her readiness because that would constitute a disgrace to the feminist gender, which fought hard to overcame bigotry and stereotypes and obtain equal status and rights as men. So, let's put it that way. Why should Biden think of her as a female when questioning her readiness. Does she think of Biden as a man with the divine right to dominate over woman? The answer to the latter is 'no' because all men or women are created equal and we are only different. And I believe in that. When McCain was saying Obama was inexperienced and kept calling him naive, Obama took the beating, then stood up and fought back and doesn't complain of unfairness. If Biden wants to come out of this debate successful, he should take no chance of underestimating her because she is so devalued by the media, she will get to that debate with all she has to come out of it on top. You know, I have watched her enough by now. And one thing i have observed is that she will use her feminist appeal and all those female tactics to distract from the real issues. This is not to be against women, but she will do it if that's what it takes her to come on top. Altough Biden has too much weakness for her, then is scared of critizising her, then feels sorry for her, and then will start crying for her, he needs to remember that this is not a contest to win over a woman and this is not a contest about the personnality of a woman. It is a contest about who deserves to be the next vice-president of the United States and is capable enough to respond to the country's issues. To me, Biden should not feel any pity for her if she can't properly respond a tough question about an issue. I believe that there is a way to be tough on her without being disrespectful and arrogant? Katie Courie just did it and nobody says she was being feminist. One doen't just vote for a woman to be vice-president to make history, she needs to prove herself through tough questions about everything facing the country, foreign and domestic. Obama has managed so far to prove himself through the relentless onslaught by the Republicans. Biden must make sure that she doen't have any credible appeal if she can't freely face the media.

Democratic Toughness

Lelu — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:11:42 EDT

Democrats sould be tough, resilient, and smartly on the offensive in the face of Republican attacks and should provide the Republican conservatives a pill that they will find hard to swallow after Republicans used the last 8 years manupilating the words 'patriotism', 'characters', 'weakness', 'French', 'fear', and the list goes on, against their opponents.

McCain Stopped His Campaign

Lelu — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:15:06 EDT

John McCain has indeed stopped his campaign. He went right on CBS to continue his campaign.

Words for McCain

Lelu — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:29:45 EDT

McCain, Bush, and the rest of the clan want to rush into a quick deal like they rushed into the Iraq war in 2003. Democrats should stand their ground and make it clear to get the tax payers $700 billions right, and accused the Republicans of rushing to bail Wall Street while they didn't feel the need to help Main Street. By the way taxpayers don't owe Wall Street a penny, and Wall Street has already wasted their pension savings and investments.

The 1st McCain Hometown Debate Vs Obama

Lelu — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:05:22 EDT

McCain was challenging Obama for hometown debates. Now, the first hometown debate has arrived and McCain is running away. You know, i think that's a debate McCain shouldn't miss because the American people really need to weight both candidates. If McCain doesn't show up for the hometown debate on Friday, so be it. Should McCain forfeit the debate and Obama is smart enough, Obama should attend the debate by himself and respond to all pertinent questions.

The 1st McCain Hometown Debate Vs Obama

McCain Stopped His Campaign For Real!

Lelu — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:25:38 EDT

Well, McCain has stopped his campaign for Main Street. But he has only stopped it to go campaign for Wall Street in Washington DC. That's the news i received.

News For McCain And The Clan

Lelu — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:17:31 EDT

John McCain is playing game once again with the election campaign by suggesting that he will stop his campaign to convene a meeting with Bush in Washington on the economic problem. Well, the Republican party, Bush, McCain, and the clan had 8 years since they took over the White House to do something for middle class Americans. Instead, they gave trillions of dollars of tax cuts to the super rich and the corporates, and thought that the upper class and the corporates would actually invest it in America and the middle class Americans that actually work for them. But, that has proven to be wrong because the tax cuts for the rich are actually their money and they don't have a requirement to reinvest it in America. So, now middle class Americans are losing their essential jobs, and even if they find new jobs, those new jobs actually pay less than their previous ones. So, since middle class Americans constitute the majority of the population, the only way for the economy to avoid stagnation is the ability of that massive section of the population to be able to buy and invest in the markets. But if the middle class Americans have no penny, then they can't go shopping, Bush! And if they can't go shopping, the market goes down including everything else with it, Bush! Do you get that? Who is going to go shopping now, Bush? The key solution is to create permanent jobs that pay good money for average Americans so that they can go shopping again and pay their bills, Bush! At the same time regulations ought to be introduced to prevent predatory executives from abusing their customers with exessive loans at exorbitant rates, thus making it possible for people to pay back their loans. That's what to be done, McCain! Now, Bush has 3 months to leave office and all of a sudden, McCain thinks that a suspension of his campaign will help relieve the plights of the nation. Well, i think he is running out of topics and needs time to recover and regroup. Anyway, McCain is not officially president, what possible short term solution his plan will bring to the table? Middle class Americans had almost 8 years to put up with failed policies. You know, while Congress really needs to debate a long and permanent solution to the problem that must benefit middle class Americans first, I have news for McCain. McCain, Bush has 3 months left before Americans deposed him. If your party, you, him, plus the clan didn't get it right over the last 7 1/2 years, you can't get it right now in one meeting. It's too late. It will wait for a Democratic administration to pick up once again where Republicans screwed up.

The Need to Strike Forcefully

Lelu — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 15:52:42 EDT

Obama might need to take on the speech John McCain made today in front of the Navy service members and reponds to it quick and forcefully. I saw a lot of accusations that might put doubts into voters' minds.

McCain and Republicans' Hypocrisy

Lelu — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:52:38 EDT

Now, John McCain who is a devoted member of the great capitalistic theorists club, who believed that less oversight regulations would lead to a free market that will maximize profits at minimum expenses forever, who devised the theory that a deregulated market will create a bubble that will continue to grow forever, who once believed in the Reagan deregulatory revolution, blamed the government for being to big, and castigate it as the opium of the people are not preaching for more oversight regulations. Does anybody know what John McCain believes in? Now is time for McCain to show mettle and not changing course.

Republican Dried Eyes

Lelu — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:32:30 EDT

Palin is talking about who to trust with the power, who have set the examples, and who have a track records to look for acomplishment. That could be a good argument to make to prove to the public that she is qualified for the job. But the problem is that she supports the Republican economic, political, and social platform for a prosperous America. And the Republicans have already asked the public to trust them with the power in 2000, her party has an economic, a political, and a social track record of the last 8 years, and her party has greatly led by examples. We, Democrats, have also a tract record of the 8 years which preceded 2001. So, no wander she is running for 4 more years for the Republican party and preaching the public to trust her and her party. So, the Republican party has such an astonishing record and has led by such an outstanding example, that the public needs to trust a Republican Palin with 4 years in the White House as a compensation for the Republican party' successful political, economic , and social achievement. Well, i am not surprised when McCain and Palin are travelling every street corner of America under the banner of 'Country First' and asking for 4 more years.

A New Hope For America

Lelu — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:20:44 EDT

Man, i think the Obama camp and the Democrats should continue to talk about change; however, they might need to change the sloganfrom 'Change We Can Believe In' to the following slogan: 'A New Hope for America". Ladies and gentlemen, Republicans are now trying to steal the argument of change. Democrats might need to leave them all by themselves to fight over who is better for change and switch to that new slogan. I will be watching.

Republican Perpetual Failure and Democratic New Hope

Lelu — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:00:23 EDT

Now, Democrats have regained their foothold in the campaign. I hope they don't think that this gain is a recipe for breathing because Republicans are very foxy to have that lead slip away from them. I can hope that they keep hammering harder and deeper in the heart of the Republican clan or John McCain camp, John McCain himself and Bush. The stubborn and regressive Republicans won't stop at nothing to try to stay in power after we are witnessing the results of their polical, economic and social policies over the last eight years togehter with Bush and Cheney. The McCain camp aren't ashamed yet to run under the banner of 'Country First' and to be asking for 4 more years after their economic philosophy have severely diminished the prosperity of the middle and working class Americans. They are running all across America asking for 4 more years as if the last 8 years under a Republican president and a Republican party had made America a better place. I can only hope that Democrats run the ad named 'Fundamentals' over and over again and produce even tougher ads than that. That's called effectiveness with a sense of urgency. 'Fundamentals' is really the very first ad so far from the Democratic booklet that sends the message deep into the Republican camp with an impulse that Republicans will find hard to slow down. More of that ad is needed. Remember the great deppression. It took the Democratic party to clean after the mess. Remember 1992, it took the Democratic party once again to clean after the mess. Once again, history has called upon the Democratic party to clean after one more mess. This time after the clean up the Republican party should not be given the power to mess up again. Their philosophy of what it takes to keep America stable and safe is only destabilizing the future of the country and the next generations.

'Fundamentals'

Lelu — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:24:33 EDT

Man, the latest advertisement named 'Fundamentals' is the very first ad by Democrats, which really kicks the ball deep into the heart of McCain camp since the contest had started. I really love it. If Democrats had started the race tough like that that ad, Obama wouldn't have found himself trailing McCain in the polls by now. And this race would have already been over. The ads need to be swift, effectively, and humorous.

Democrats need to fight like in Courtroom.

Lelu — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:12:54 EDT

Democrats are missing their best opportunities to put that race away once again. John McCain camp is saying that raising taxes in times when economic numbers are bad will only hurt the economy. That could be a reasonable argument except that Bush and Republicans, backed by John McCain, had cut taxes by trillions of dollars in 2001. The results: we have lost more jobs, middle class personnel are not doing better, and even Wall Street and big corporates that benefitted the most from those 2001 tax cuts is running broke. We followed the Republican approaches and cut the taxes and what kind of economy do we have today? The ridiculous part of the arguments are that John McCain who wears a Republican collar on his chest is asking for 4 more years to make it worse. What the Republicans are saying is that: please, give us another chance. We had tax cuts for back in 2001, how much progress has the economy made as John McCain is arguing?

Democrats Are Missing Their Best Opportunities

Lelu — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:17:08 EDT

John McCain said:'It's easy for me to go to Washington and frankly be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have."
Well, i am watching the whole thing and can't believe that Democrats haven't put an ad out there showing McCain repeatedly making that statement, specially in swing states. This is an outstanding openning to put this race away and still Democrats haven't learned yet how to hit hard.

Job Position: 'Looking For Personnel To Interview Palin'

Lelu — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:59:16 EDT

In this presidential campaign, all men are created equal and every woman is a man. Like Hillary put it: 'if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.' Please, we are asking all pitballs that if they can't preserve the lipticks, get rid of them because the sheperds are coming. In this campaign we focus on issues for tomorrow and future generations. However, we also need to inject a sense of humor to prevent humbrum. Since McCain and Palin are two figures that evoke spirited caricatures, i don't see a reason why not poking them more on their records. Palin has chosen the easy guy to interview her on ABC. If she is that tough she needs to accept to be interviewed also by the major attack dogs on major TV channels and not just the soft man. Democrats should press her hard on that until she agrees. And if she doesn't agree to be interviewed by at least one of the attack dogs, we should call her weak. That's what Republicans do to Democratic candidates. You know, i don't think Palin knows a dime about foreign affairs and the answers she provided to her first interview were certainly implanted into her mouth. She is looking for a thorough interviewer like Chris Matthew,, or George Stephenapolis, or one of the other attack dogs.

McCain's Self-Contradiction

Lelu — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:13:45 EDT

Well, I learned that McCain has criticised and ridiculed some $300,000.00 funds allocated for research on bears in Utah at a religious forum as some sort of paternity test research. But the irony is that his runningmate has already allocated this year millions of dollars of tax payers to study the mating habits of crabs and the DNA of habor seals in Alaska. What an opportunity to launch an attack ad against McCain and his camp! Every day McCain and his camp makes a statement and Democrats aren't exploiting those statements to attacks him, i think they Democrats have missed big opportunities to put the race away. Those statements are contradicting and hypocritical statements that can be used effectively in attack ads against McCain. Democrats still haven't learned how to effectively use McCain and Palin own contradictions against them. One thing i know for sure, if one is vying against an opponent and fails to score, his opponent will score for him. No wonder Obama has lost his lead.

Democrats need Sharper and Smarter Attacks

Lelu — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:00:49 EDT

Well, i have been watching McCain's Repubublicans are asking Obama to apolize for a 'lipstick' comment. Those Republicans ought to be ashamed after what they said about Democratic candidates in every election. Let's put it that way. Cheney used the phrase against Kerry. McCain used it against Hillary. Now, Obama used it. The response from the Republicans: he must be referring to Palin. This is what i am thinking: I need to know what kind of apology the Republicans are looking for in detail? And also i need to know how the apology that the McCain 's Republicans are looking for should be written down. We all should ask for a formal apology request form from the McCain Camp. In fact, this is the very first attack Obama has made so far as a genuine attack against the McCain Camp since the election campaign has begun. Obama has a two front war to fight if he wants to win. One against McCain and another against Palin. From now on every time the McCain's camp asks for apology because of an attack against McCain or Palin or McCain camp, they are playing defense. Did i mention that Democrats can't dare attack Palin? And if they do criticise her, they are antifeminist. The attacks must be smart and sharp. The only way the McCain camp believe they can win is to blind public opinion. I will be watching whether the Democratic leadership will let the Republican leadership play the same game. The Republicans have played that game for a very long time and there are so many flaps in MCCain's records and speeches that can be used to attack him.

Failure to neutralize McCain/Palin's Speeches

Lelu — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:16:24 EDT

Democrats went on to overpraise Palin after her speech at the RNC. They were all over TVs saying she is a sharp shooter, she is good, she is terrific, and so on. I know that you must compliment your opponent lightly when he or she does good. But, i think Democrats went to praise her too much the way i was listenning of them. Now, McCain has caught in the public opinion polls, Democrats are learning once again how to strike back. Man, i was tired of listenning to praises after praises for Palin from Democrats after just one speech at the convention and nobody really know what she beleive in yet. Too much praise for someone they barely know. By the way, there was another killer. And It was Joe Biden. I can't believe Joe Biden, who has so much experience and knowledge on speeches and polices, said in front of the TV camera that she is too good, he doesn't know if he will be able to take on her. What killed the most is that Biden said that he will be trying to compete against her. These are killer statements you can't afford to make to support your opponents if you want to win. I have the impression that Democrats still don't understand the reasons why they lost the lead in the public opinion polls. The lack of counterattacks or responses from Democrats are the leading reasons why Obama has lost his lead. Now, Democrats have to pull themselves out of that hole. Well, i hope Democrats learn how to respond to Republicans big speeches instead of embracing them.

Palin Using Feminism as a Cover

Lelu — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:01:54 EDT

Palin and her supporters will be using her sexism or womanhood as a reason why Democrats are attacking her. I think Democrats should make it clear that if someone enters this election race, he or she should be ready to take the heat as like a man. There will be no difference between a man and a woman. Every time someone makes a comment against her, her supporters think it is because she is a woman. If she is using her woman gender to exploit the public lack of knowledge of her, Democrats should make it clear that she has to go to all tough interviews on all major TV networks, be asked the tough questions, and be able to answer them without reading a piece of papers. She is now trying to hide her characters and present her personality. If the Democrats let her play her game, she will be cruising until November as some great politian and try to win without the American public being able to realize her weakness and ineffectiveness. The most important thing for the Democrats to do is to go into neighborhoods where she had and have lived to find out about her and expose her on TVs. Republicans did it to Obama and Obama had to fight them. It will be a tragic mistake if Democrats fail to thouroughly scrutinize her pass records and expose her. She wants to go to Oprah's, which has 75% women. Why can't she go on MSNBC, CNN, ABC? Oprah would have to put everybody else on the show also. Why didn't she ask to be on Oprah's before being nominated a VP? I am sure Oprah would have accepted her back then. The answer: Republicans want to use all corridors where they can win votes and public opinions. The only advice i have, is for the Democrats to attack hard and expose the Republican ticket on everything. Well, the way i see it now, nobody can comment about Palin because she is feminine and everything that is said against her is because she is a woman. If she is a woman in this presidential race, then she shouldn't be wearing pans.

McCain Flip Floping Problem

Lelu — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:09:07 EDT

John McCain thinks that he is perfect and can't make mistakes, and doesn't want anybody to question his judgement when it comes to the selection of Palin as VP. McCain and his Republican clan don't want the media to ask any more questions about Palin. Remember when the Democratic establishment wanted to convince the American public that Obama is a safe choice, and is ready to lead. McCain was preaching that it was legitimate for the American public to ask questions about Obama, and first, must know who is Obama before even considering voting for him in November 2008. McCain and the Republicans tried all tactics and strategies they possibly can to leave a question mark on top of Obama's head and even suggest that he is too inexperienced, unpatriotic, too liberal, and not ready yet to lead. Now, the ball is in McCain and his colleagues' courtyard, and they are whining in front of every TV camera that it is unfair to question the readiness of Palin. Obama had to work very hard to disprove John McCain and the Republican party's march to discredit him. Obama managed to present himself to the American people after all attempts by the Republicans to depose his characters. I hope John McCain can take it like a man now inside his own courtyard and let the American people and the media discover , discuss, and question Palin's readiness and ability before considering voting for her in November 2008. Obama had almost 2 years on the campaign trail to present and define himself to the public. Now, we know alot about him. If McCain didn't have the courage to tell the American people about Palin before the selection, or at least gave the media a hint that she was being vetted as a possible VP choice among others, and caught everybody by surprise by nominating her for VP, then the American public and the media should surprise John McCain by launching their own investigation now, and not after the election. I think that's also a legitimate investigation. John McCain couldn't trust Obama, now he wants the public to trust Palin without questions. I think history will judge the Democrats as weak if they fail to put the Republican attack machine to the same test, and the Democrats will find it hard to win also. I think we need to be all over Palin and her records by now whatever they might be and put them on TV and ads.

Republican Hypocrisy

Lelu — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:04:44 EDT

John McCain VP choice doesn't know what a VP does. Now, Republicans have hired former Bush aides to tutor her. Those former aides helped shaped Bush failed policies, and now they will help shape John McCain VP for a job she knows nothing about. What does it say about the degree of connection between John McCain and Bush? And what does it say about John McCain future plan for the country when Bush former aides are shaping the mind of his VP selection? I am astonished that the Democrats haven't pounded on that because the Republicans would waste no time to pound on it if the situation was reverse.

John McCain's Celebrity VP

Lelu — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:31:44 EDT

Republicans and John McCain have published an ad calling Obama the biggest celebrity in the world alongside Paris and Britney. The irony is that John McCain has chosen the biggest celebrity in Alaska to be his Vice-presidential running mate. What does it say about the Republican party and John McCain' characters, if they have one, for picking a celebrity to be The United Vice-president while blaming Obama for being a celebrity?

McCain Disconnection from Reality

Lelu — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:38:12 EDT

Can anybody beleive that Bush is blaming Democrats for high gas price? I think he should be blaming Democrats for the economy, the mismanagement of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the housing crisis, the national deficit, and the loss of middle class and working jobs. We need to understand the future impacts or consequences of our today's decisions. 8 years ago, Bush asked the American people to give the White House to him and the Republican party. The Republican clan and he promised to bring morality and make Washington a better place than the Democrats. He argued that it was time to take the White House from Democrats after a prosperous and successful 8 years economic growth under the Democrats during the 1990s. What could be more immoral to the nation than the undermining of the strategic long term prospects of America by doubling the national debt, launch an uneccessary war in Iraq that cost more 1 trillion dollars of American taxes and led to thousands of Americans dead, and weapons of mass destruction were never there to be found. After 8 years of administrative disaster, Bush and his colleagues aren't ashamed yet. Although they don't like John McCain, they are using him to extend their grip on the White House for another 4 more years. This is the Republican party that is preaching the security and the future of America. As we speak today, John McCain and his colleagues still beleive that middle and working class Americans have achieved economic success under over the pass 8 years or maybe they still believe that they were not elected to work on behalf of middle and working class Americans. There cannot be another way to explain John McCain and the Republican party's interruption to the reality of the citizens. I beleive the American people should be told the truth. And if they know the truth they will make the right decision when November 2008 come.

The Republican Legacy

Lelu — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:32:35 EDT

John McCain will try to run away from his records of support for Bush, But one thing he will never be able to do is to delete the connection. Almost 1 trillion dollars spent on the Iraq war, now the Iraqi government wants us completely out, price of oil and gas is going up, and we are spending more than 700 billion dollars to buy costly oil and gas overseas, having almost doubling of the national debt, millions of houses being confiscated or reowned, people can't find good paying jobs, This is the legacy of the Republican party and George Bush for the United States of America and the future generations. John McCain is running to preserve George Bush 8 years legacy. Are you proud of it? We must not give them one more chance. Let's go Democrats.

Get McCain close to Bush

Lelu — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:33:02 EDT

If the Democrats can't effectively tide McCain with Bush, showing pictures and speeches of both of them together over and over again, they will find it hard to win. The Republicans abused Jimmy Carter effectively to put Reagan in the White House. I will see whether the Democrats can't do the same of Bush this time around. If there is a year where Democrats can reverse the Southern Strategy, it is this year, by exposing the Republicans' divisive nature and false promises to America. We will see what they say about the expiring Southern Strategy or the startegy of 'divide and conquer'. Just expose them.

Fighting the retrogressive conservatives

Lelu — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:12:43 EDT

Republicans know how to use deceptive means to win elections, but they will never know how to govern well. It doesn't matter a Clinton, Obama, Richardson, Kennedy, or Pelosy in the White House. As long as there is a democrat in the White House, the United States will move in a better direction.

Comparing Joe Biden to Dick Cheney

Lelu — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:05:39 EDT

It is true that Joe Biden can or might be for Obama what Dick Cheney is for Bush. However, the differences are that Joe Biden is fighter for middle class and working class Americans. He is not big oil companies' man nor big corporates' yesman, and he can keep the United States strong without being a warmonger. If Dick Cheney was fighting for big oil companies and big corporations, Joe Biden will be fighting for the working and middle class Americans. Working and middle class Americans are the brains, the backbone, and the heart of the United States economy. What a difference!! That's how to counter attack the Republicans. Use their attacks against them.

Dealing with the Republican attacks

Lelu — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:37:41 EDT

The Democrats need to search deep through John McCain records and expose him as a flip flopper who has no conviction of his own, who probably can't remember his own creed, and will answer a question in a voter's favor in order to win vote. Doesn't anybody know what's John McCain conviction? The more and more good pictures of Bush/John McCain together exposed in TV adds, the more they will put John McCain on the defensive. Democrats need to use John McCain attacks quick and effective, and turn them against him, and play John McCain's gaffes and flipfloping comments on TV adds over and over until the American people absorb the real John McCain. If the democrats don't do it against John McCain, John McCain team will do it against Obama for them, and november 2008 will come by and we will watch the democrats suffer another terrible loss of a presidential election against the republicans for being Mr nice. We have seen over the last eight year the republican party's plan for America. If you like it your choice is clear, and be prepared to live with the consequences of it for the next 4 or 8 years, perhaps the next generations. But if you don't like it you have the alternative, the democratic party. Our plan is clear. Don't let the opponent confuse you. The democrats need to get tough on the republicans, that's the only language the republicans repect. That's how to do it.

John McCain's Drafting Confusion

Lelu — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:00:40 EDT

Before running for the presidency, John McCain opposed the draft. Now, he is for the draft when answering a voter's question. Doesn't anybody know what John McCain stand for other than anything to win voters?
