All I did on one was point out further facts (that you neglected to mention, even though they came from the same article). On two of them, I simply said that the candidates gave their explanations, and it's now up to the voters to decide. On the sexual assault allegation, all I said is that the timing is awfully suspicious (note that one of the reporters from your link said the exact same thing).<br /><br />... and you haven't answered my questions.Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-77867226046062649662010-10-14T17:04:23.471-05:002010-10-14T17:04:23.471-05:00Hey Mike, good to hear from you again.

He has not delivered on the hype (how could he) but even more importantly there are things he should have and could have delivered to his base. That said, there things the Dems accomplished that would never have happened with Reps in charge. So am I happy with Obama and the Dem-controlled Congress? No way! But I would not make the mistake of going back to the Reps who bungled away the previous 8 years and made a shambles of things.csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196500927690180464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-73345187552176103012010-10-14T17:01:18.013-05:002010-10-14T17:01:18.013-05:00I would never even think of blaming you for anythi...I would never even think of blaming you for anything that heinous sounding, Bawdy.csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196500927690180464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-14772721241617131002010-10-14T15:07:24.856-05:002010-10-14T15:07:24.856-05:00csm,

He is also one of the least motivated relying more on his so-called charisma than hard work That is just the reality our party most deal with in a few weeks. He couldn't even galvanize the the DNC for his agenda.<br /><br />Look at the good news. He can blame the Republicans (legitimately)in 2012.

The point is, though, that Obama is not saying that he is being smeared because people are quoting him or playing back video/audio of his own fucking words!csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196500927690180464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-15642611823990190782010-10-13T18:17:40.291-05:002010-10-13T18:17:40.291-05:00Let us examine Obama under your "record/playb...Let us examine Obama under your "record/playback" scenario....<br /><br />Closing Gitmo<br />NSA wiretapping<br />Patriot Act sunsetting<br />Gays in the military<br />Keeping your health insurance<br />new health plan bringing down the deficit<br />Justice Department investigations<br /> <br /><br />and this is all I came up with in a few minutes....BAWDYSCOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003013789708853085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-36794665162126301002010-10-12T15:19:01.865-05:002010-10-12T15:19:01.865-05:00I have no interest in trying to defend politicians...I have no interest in trying to defend politicians of any sort. But it's rather suspicious when a bunch of these stories pop up a month before the election (even though only one is even remotely recent), particularly when they're filled with "allegedly" and "accused of" without anything concrete.<br /><br />In these examples:<br />#1 - He explained the Nazi uniform. It sounds reasonable to me (although I wouldn't do it). There's no need for me to dig further since it isn't even my state.<br /><br />#2 - An alleged sexual assault and attempted rape more than a year ago, and it was never reported to the police? Now all of a sudden she wants to file a lawsuit? That sounds pretty suspicious to me. For now, I'd put it in the same category as this nonsense Gloria Allred is pushing in California. Let's see if they pursue anything after 11/2.<br /><br />#3 - Read the whole article. It says he didn't actually witness either of those incidents.<br /><br />#4 - He addressed the issue directly, making no excuses for himself. It's up to the voters to decide whether it's a valid character concern or a one-time incident from nearly a decade ago.<br /><br />Is all this stuff part of a coordinated smear campaign against Republicans? It sure seems that way to me. Dems can't win on the issues, so they have to attack the character of their opponents, even with blatant lies at times (see Alan Grayson).<br /><br />If you don't think it's a coordinated effort, let me ask you this: Where did you get the information about these four non-Texan candidates? Did you just happen across them in your normal perusal of the local news in Iowa, Mass., and Ohio? Or did you get it from a Democratic news aggregating site like HuffPo, MoveOn, or Dem Daily? Or maybe it was an e-mail from the DSCC or the DCCC?<br /><br />Next question: What do you know about the Dem candidates in each of these races? Anything at all?Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-27927173092668189632010-10-12T09:49:40.409-05:002010-10-12T09:49:40.409-05:00G, I'd agree with your first statement (amazin...G, I'd agree with your first statement (amazingly).

Isn't it interesting that a bunch of allegations like these all surface just before the election? What are the odds that any of these will amount to anything after November 2? Probably zero.Gnoreply@blogger.com
