GOP cannot campaign on the issues, hence 1988 Willie Horton ads and helmeted Dukakis driving a tank instead of discussion of VP Bush's involvement in Iran Contra and his choice of Quayle as his running mate....In 2004, two high level undisclosed Bush/Cheney campaign officials advised NY Times that they intended to portray John Kerry as "French looking" and John Edwards as looking like "the Breck Girl" and the Times published this revelation on it's front page. Sunday's Wapo front page featured an article titled "Obama faces test in asserting his own brand of patriotism". The article describes a young woman at an Obama campaign appearance asking him why he doesn't wear a flag lapel pin....The press will publish the slime the GOP feeds it....the Wapo article jusrified it's new examination of Obama's patriotism because of numerous debates on talk radioand cable shows...a circle jerk of right wing political operatives staged to justify and drive rhe smears cloaked as actual news reporting. The issues won't be discussed because the OP is about driving Obama's unity message and his differentkind of politics far, far, up his.....and there is no actual two sided issues discussion on this forum either.... because they've pointed out in another thread yesterday, that my big fat ego and my narcisism are mucking up the works!!! So now, at least we know why issues are never discussed in any depth in this forum.....
