It's Not Audacity, Chris, It's Fact, Check the History
Hey Chris, there's a reason Earl didn't complain when as you said Hillary did it (alleged smut dumping on him) to Obama. It didn't happen. From day one Hillary tried mightily to stick to the issues and keep the heat on Bush policies. But that didn't fly with Obama. The issue and the campaign quickly degenrated into finger pointing, bashing, and Hillary blame. When Hillary hit back the media spin was that oh gosh, there she and the dirty Clintons go. Meanwhile, Obama steps back with the fake media adoration/coronation he's gotten (again only because of Hillary hate) and the momentary teflon coat they've wrapped him in (only because of the obsession to nail Hillary who still is the only Democrat that has a prayer of beating McCain-Huckabee, that's right remember who told you that that will be the ticket). But I say again Obama will discover the hard, brutal and naked fact about American real politik GOP style that if he gets the nomination the teflon, adoration, and coronation and starry eyed Obama worship that he's gotten will go poof faster than a Houndini disappearing act and it will be GOP open season on him. Don't believe it Chris, and think it's GOP bashing Earl style, check the history all the way back to a man named Nixon.
Earl, you might want to count to ten before you post these sorts of things. You didn't address Chris' main point. Obama is being slammed for things he actally did, votes he actually cast. Your post in response sounds both angry and paranoid, seeing GOP black helicopters on the horizon.
And btw, your "check the history" bit is hilarious. As if personal attacks were invented by Nixon and this dark legacy has been exclusively wielded by his evil GOP progeny. If you really want to read some dirty political attack material, read Plutarch in re: the fights between Themistocles/Pericles and Cimon in the 5th century B.C. Or even better, between Mark Antony and Octavian in the 30's B.C. Those guys made Nixon look like a choir boy.
Your scathing rebuke to look back to the sixties for the root of all muckraking is historically naive, about both the nature of politics and of mam.
