The interesting thing about the North Carolina ad is, even if they take it down, it will run for hours on end through all the cable channels and the network news channels, and the talk show hosts will go on and on about it. And both Hillary and McCain can say, "I told them to take it down, and they did," --and they look like heroes. |

25 Apr 08 - 09:37 AM (#2325310) Subject: RE: BS: The GOP slime has begun. From: Midchuck GOP doesn't need to slime the Dems this year. They're doing a fine job of doing it to each other. By the time the Dem candidate is chosen, I expect there'll be so much bitterness within the party that GOP will win in a walk. And the war will go on and on and on and the rich will get richer and richer and richer...But those things would probably be true if the Dems won, as well. P. |

From: Bobert One thing is fir sure and that is that the McCainites are going to push the race issue in every possible way they can... Remember Willie Horton??? Well, he's being recycled as Rev. Wright... But while the Repubs do this McCain, of course, will publicly say, "Oh, that's a terrible thing to do" but privately laughung up his sleeve... B~ |

25 Apr 08 - 09:51 AM (#2325331) Subject: RE: BS: The GOP slime has begun. From: Wesley S Here's a bullshit e-mail that I received from a friend yesterday. Don't bother checking the links. About half of them lead nowhere and the other half use a single article by Lou Dobbs for a reference. It never ceases to amaze me that people will just forward this crap without checking it out. In Just one year - - - This email comes in three parts: Part 1 In just one year. Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following: A little over one year ago: 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%. Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen: 1) Consumer confidence plummet; 2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon; 3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase); 4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses); 5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! Remember, it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him. Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.' -- Barack Obama Part 2: Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing. www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html Taxes under Clinton Taxes under Bush 2008 Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250 Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie, The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened. PART 3: You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this: Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them.

In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html 11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border; also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Verify at: Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht 12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.' Verify at: http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf 13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. Verify at: http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm 14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States.' Verify at: http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Are we THAT stupid? If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof. It is April 15, 2008. Do not forget to pay your taxes today. Thousands of illegal aliens depend upon you. |

25 Apr 08 - 10:29 AM (#2325378) Subject: RE: BS: The GOP slime has begun. From: Azizi Since this is a music forum, here's a link to a video that I think is pertinent to this subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVC2j_Kdw8c the o'jays-back stabbers [A classic Soul Train tv video] ** I agree with a number of other folks' prediction that after the North Carolina and Indiana primaries end with Obama wins, this divisive Democratic primary will be over. Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee & we'll see the Republican's version of Hillary's slime campaigning. But more and more people will get on board the O train. Speaking of which, here's a link to another oldie but goodie song from the O'Jays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9luQ-yerVc&feature=related O'Jays - Love Train [At the Apollo Theatre, Harlem, NY,NY] |

From: kendall I don't know how accurate your figures are, but I do know that my taxes are just the same now as they were under Clinton. I also believe that the soaring price of gasoline is due in large part to the speculators. Look at the price of rice, there is no shortage of rice, and certainly no shortage of speculators. |

25 Apr 08 - 12:28 PM (#2325497) Subject: RE: BS: The GOP slime has begun. From: Donuel I better compose a email that illuminates the: Republican Elite Deregulated Corporate Offensive & Negligent Socialism ( RED CONS ) in the form of corporate welfare and free bail outs and near tax free status for having an office off shore, that ends up costing YOU exactly 20% the value of your home, 40% the value of your dollar, double the cost of your gas and $16,000 federal debt for each person in your family to pay back THEIR loans. and don't forget your HMO makes more money if you die before treatment, as a corporate health care industry THEY ARE HOPING YOU DIE! And you are lucky compared to the 22 million who are denied health care in America. this message is paid for by the Citizens who have a God damn good reason to be bitter with Repubocrat corporate America. |

25 Apr 08 - 05:27 PM (#2325742) Subject: RE: BS: The GOP slime has begun. From: Amos The slime has not yet begun to fly in anything like the screeching, caterwauling, cafeteria-food-fight dimensions it will attain. The swift-boaters have made a couple of trial runs on the Wright and Ayers business and the observation about blue collar bitterness. All those issues were inflated and hyped to the point of complete falsification. Obama is going to have to get quick, and bright, in order to stand up and deflect the crap these assholes are throwing and will be throwing more. He has to do it without descending to their level of bestiality and lizard-brained pushbutton hate. It is a challenege he is basically up to if he can find time to catch his breath. That remains to be seen. He has a lot of patience with stupidity, it seems, but everyone has their limits. A |

From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor I think the apex of the slime, or at least the mileage that it gets will be while Clinton is running. The only people in this country with the ability to inflict real damage on Obama in a "swift boat" way are Democratic party elders. Hopefully Bill and Hillary will knock it off once they have lost. |
