If the Obama campaign and the democratic party, who know full well to expect this sort of fear mongering, cannot deflect this campaign approach, then perhaps we are not ready to take back the White House.
Meanwhile, Conyers is chairing judiciary comittee on "Executive Privilege and the Bush Administration on CPAN ; Wexler reiterating impeachment hearings right now.

Americans love happy endings and gleaming dawn beginnings.
Americans love being loved and hate being hated no matter the teevee's smarmy Rove-inspired tangents.
Obama's speech signeled the free West's eventual victory over terror with each joyous flag-waving Euro cheer and Arab-African ululation.
An Obama presidency will signal not simply the symbolic rebirth of America's dream to her children but the translation of that dream to all of humanity.
Media simpletons miscast Obama as Christ...He could be Moses.
And they had best get started.
And START CALLING MCBUSH OUT ON THE CARPET. McBUSH is frought with gaffes, and the media is treating him with kit gloves, like he is some kindly grandfather figure.
McBUsh is hiding behind that fake yellow smile of his and has no command on foreign affairs.....
These debates cannot come soon enough.
Simple. Attack your opponent's character and not his record, abilites or judgement. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
answer. Exerting citizen energy to sweep these criminals out of government
is the way to go. Simply visit your closest Obama office and see what you
can do.

The Republican base responds really well to fear, most often voting in spite of their own best interests. The Republican leadership knows this and is more than willing to play that little game.
Before it's over, Obama will probably wind up being depicted as a cowardly, unAmerican (ie foreign) drug-abusing terrorist transexual transvestite atheist with Muslim connections who's also a "fancy lad" that has AIDS. Oh, and he's _Black_, too. Time will tell if this kind of tactic will really work or if common sense on the economy, the war and other issues will outweigh fear with enough voters to make a difference.
Heaven knows the Republicans don't have any accomplishments or plan to run except fear this time around.
I would think they'd be running crooked old lobbyist Phil Gramm; isn't he responsible for the mortgage/financial mess, another of the republicons "accomplishments?"
/Cheney/Rove trash they can scoop up. These guys ARE the REPUBLICAN TEAM. We
must get out and work to get rid of them as I posted in the previous note. You
will feel great making any contribution you can in time, effort and/or $.
Penna. needs you efforts.

Bush is at all time low at 23 percent approval rating....Obama should be higher in the polls, I suspect they are being too "nice", too much like the Kerry way of campaigning.
Time to squash McSame.
He is becoming more and more irrelevant as each day passes. How can he think to disassociate himself from Bush and the fascist pigs of his administration? He is adopting the Bush/Republicon concept of truth being what you want it to be regardless of what it is. He is the old man shaking his stick at the cloud. Increasingly fixated on his idea of victory because he can not deal with the reality that america LOST HIS WAR - VIET NAM! Yes, John while you were awol collaborating with the North Vietnamese, America LOST that war. Furthermore, that was in the last century John, this is the 21st century. Things are different; even countries have shifted and changed their names ( Had your incompetent staff of lobbyists managed to make you look at a current atlas?). This is tough love John but you need to realize your carefully polished image of war hero/ POW is only a shell; it does NOT qualify you to be an expert in world affairs or military affairs or to be POTUS. You are a tired old fraud, a crook, and a moral leper.
There's no patriotism in fear mongering.
