You can dress up the 'publican swift boat liars' machine anyway you want - but it's still just putting lipstick on a pig!
Oh wait a minute, it's the publicans who want to whine and cry about lipstick on a pig, isn't it? Funny, when the old fart, McCain, threw that line at Hillary Clinton earlier in the campaign, you didn't see the Democrats whining and crying about it, did you?
But if Obama says it - watch out! The publicans immediately accuse him of sexism and implying that he's attacking the little golden girl - even though the comment clearly wasn't about her - but the McCain/Palin policy positions.
The phrase "swift boat" is synonymous with lying - and for good reason. Obama just stood up and called the publicans for what they are - and you just can't stand it.
No ground to stand on with the issues so try to win through smears, lies, diversions, and fear mongering. Gotta love it.
I'm having problems finding the anointed ones stand on the issues....oh...its about change.
Not that difficult Dell if you're willing to open your eyes and read or open your ears and listen. Obama even managed to spend some time talking about issues last night on Letterman. Policy papers listed on Obama's website. If you're looking for a more independent review, they're out there in all of the major papers - Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and many others. If you don't know Obama's stand - it's not because he hasn't said it - it's because you have never bothered to look (and, no, mass e-mails from swift boat liars don't count).
Democratic jitters about the US presidential race have spread to Capitol Hill, where some members of Congress are worried that Barack Obama’s faltering campaign could hurt their chances of re-election.
