Obama Tecniques

Attacking his opponents from the first day.

Evil, hateful smear attacks starting early

Twisting words, Adding words and untruths for propaganda to feed the people.

Blame everyone for everything.

Then turn around and accuse your opponents of doing everything your doing every where in the news, and pretend to be inocent.

Obly dicuss the issues, never give details. when asked about details, elude, evade, change the subject.

Have highly motivative mind conditioning speeches, using slogans, catch phrases to reinforce the mind manipulation. keep them in the media always

Have a marketing and PR team, that markets you like a Super Star.

Be sure to keep telling them you are a christian, Make up stories to make you fit in with who ever your talking to at the time.

That is the Obama way.

McCain 08!!!

McCain is going to win

Dean O gets the prize as biggest liar on USNWR (below). There is no "resume" of Obama that includes the words printed by Dean.

What a jerk!

Google the RCP ratings for June - July; then use the New Hampshire Reliability Ratings to discard the incredible pollsters with “negative reliability ratings”, such as Fox/Opinion Dynamics, Rasmussen, and Zogby, to get a less unrealiable average.

Neagtive Coattails

Any coattailes will be negative now that the American People are catching on to this Fraud. Elitist harvard Lawyer. A few words taken from Barrack Obama’s first resume.

Young People and the Obama Effect

It common to assume that the Obama effect will sweep up young people and their support effortlessly and universally. Well, this is simply not true. I am a member of a grassroots group called "Young People for McCain" and we are not taken with Obama's pop appeal. There are a lot more young people in this country who prefer to give their enthusiastic support to John McCain than the media leads one to believe. And that number is growing.

It all depends

The more it appears Obama will win, the longer the coattails will be. If it's predicted a "squeaker" for McCain based on 2 or 3 key states, then THERE ARE NO OBAMA COATTAILS ANYWHERE.

This is why Obama should put Hillary on ticket ASAP as bug repellant for the racist genus of "Swiftboat bug" now infesting the hills of Appalachia and Mighigan.

Announcing Biden or Nunn or some other man and then being "surprised" a week later when McCain courts women with Carly or Heather or Condi or Meg is recipe for Democratic disaster. C'mon Barack. Wake up. It's OUR hopes and dreams, not yours.
