I opened this thread for ALL to view their opinion on ANY campaign catchphrase, slogan, ad etc. I think these types of things can hurt or help campaigns to move the election a couple points.
When a congressman is on TV saying the above, when the rich and famous vocal celebrities and so on say this publicly trying to sway votes it becomes an issue.
You do not have to read this post RB, but there maybe others, on either side that have a slogan, catchphrase, ad, etc that upsets them, pisses them off, that may make them proud, happy, whatever emotion, and they want to share why that means something to them or their outrage against it.
That is what this thread is for. There are many and will be many that will focus on issues.... but perhaps we need a thread like this for people to just vent or gloat.... why not let them?

I'll give you two that I think are worse than the above....one is a McCain campaign ad and the other an independent guy, but who serves on a McCain campaign advisory board.
An official McCain ad declares that Obama's only accomplishment in the Illinois senate was that he "backed legislation to teach "'comprehensive sex education' to kindergartners." The announcer then says, "Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. Wrong on education. Wrong for your family." (McCain: (I endorse this message)
The "unofficial" ad campaign is from Deal Hudson, who serves on McCain's 80-person advisory board for Catholic issues and who has been on radio and websites saying that Obama supports infanticide.
IMO..you are just lookng for any jusitification to hold Obama responsible for any comment by anybody anywhere anytime. |
No, I'm not.... but if that is what you believe ok.
Why not express true OPINION and how those examples you gave make YOU feel? Give your belief why you believe those were acts of desperation.
This thread is about that.... I just happened to be the one who started it and gave my example first..... I want to see OPINIONS from both sides. This isn't about me or just my views.... It's about letting ANYONE who wants to voice an opinion on the subject to voice it.
