Obama CBS interview "the kind of stuff that I can't imagine saying about an opponent of mine

[Thrill]

SMITH: The rancorous tone of this campaign--I was with John McCain on Monday,
and I said, `Our poll data shows that it's actually hurting you.' He says, `I
wouldn't be doing it if he weren't doing it.'

Sen. OBAMA: Well, look, I mean, politics is tough. But I will say this. I
don't think there's any equivalence between what we've been doing and what
John McCain's been doing. Witness some of the comments that have been made
just over the last several months, his--last several weeks. Socialistic, you
know, pals around with terrorists. I mean, just the kinds of stuff that I
can't imagine saying about an opponent of mine.

1. That's because

Obama is a true gentleman. He outclasses McCain BIG time.

GOBAMA!

2. Excuse number #444

I wouldnt be doing it if he accepted my request for town halls was the last excuse.

McCain is just a nasty, bitter, angry old man.

3. Obama attacks McCain's POLICIES. McCain attacks OBAMA...why?

Because Republicant's can't WIN on policy and issues.

They attack, lie, and smear. It's all they've ever done.

4. They base their entire "platform"

on getting INTO office, whereas we base ours on what we can actually DO when we get there.

That's the fundamental difference between the parties.
To them, it's a game. To us, it's a job.

6. Damn good point. Also, I saw an interesting yard sign on the way to work..

...Vote for ONE woman: Palin

...Vote for ALL women: Obama

...or something like that. I thought it was pretty good. Handmade by the residents.

8. Wow. Excellent signage. n/t

[glitch]

5. Yeah - They have one platform: to LOOT. So sad for them, admitting that doesn't get them elected

or even allow them to get close enough to steal it. So, they lie and smear. Pretty simple strategy as long as no one is paying attention. This time they looted too much and now everyone is paying attention. The same mistake they always make...for the pukes lower in the pyramid scheme that is. The ones at the top will probably be ok. Perhaps.

[Triana]

7. Very true. If they told the TRUTH about their platform, no one would vote for them..

...they HAVE to lie to get in. They can't win on issues - never could.

9. How fucking childish is McCain?

"HE DID IT FIRST!" gtfohwtbs

[spooky3]

10. they need to hammer home: FALSE equivalence.

McCain sounds like the childhood bully who, when caught, says, "well, HE started it!"

[CoffeeCat]

11. I know! When I read McCain's words I was reminded...

...of how my kids fight in the backseat, "Well...she started it!"

Maybe Obama needs to say, "John. I warned you. Don't make me turn this campaign around!"

[spooky3]

12. LOL! "I'll do it too! I'm not kidding!"
