A tough ad being aired in North Carolina by the state GOP attacks Democrats for allying themselves with Obama, who is attacked for his 20-year connection to Rev. Wright. It is the sort of ad widely expected to be aired if Obama becomes the Democratic nominee.
So much to say who the GOP fears the most. They are afraid of Obama; they want Clinton whom they have perfected her conquer. But my fellow PA democrats played into their hands. So much talk of who can beat MacCain! MAcCain himself shows who he is afraid of but the Clinton base - Non-educated and elderly had no chance of learning the facts. They only voted on instruction and fear fed to them by the power that be who played on their gullibility. I only hope they will have time enough to learn to correct this mistake by november by voting Obama who surely is on the Ballot.— Smart- The Grand OLD Party needs new ideas and an integrity reconditioning. MCain and the GOP are going to have to explain how we are going to manage Iraq successfully. Our military is badly depleted. They going to have to explain how to solve this problem with out busting the budget. What are they going to do to end the culture of government waste in Defense and Homeland Security? The GOP has much explaining to do and McCain must elucidate how he is going to do things differently. Good Luck— Peter of Manassas
- Smart Not too sanctimonious, are you? By your count everyone that didn't vote for your hero is not as smart as you and the other brilliant folks that voted for him. Great way to describe your "fellow PA Democrats", too stupid or too old to learn of the magnificence of BO. I am niether uneducated or old, just smart enough to know that you are wrong. The one candidate that can beat JM is HC, polls indicate this fact. If you truly were smart you wouldn't construct such an asinine arguement.— Malachy
