The GOP and their usual political manuevering...Politics by SLIME

That's because they have nothing positive to offer. Spending has gone through the roof. The phony war on terror is going badly. They now perceive every citizen as a potential enemy. They've milked the barrel dry. They have nothing.

And what do the Democrates have? Nothing either! All they can say is that they are not Republican.

So what choice do voters have? Two big snakes they know and an assortment of little snakes they don't know.

Time to settle in for a couple months of mud all around. That form of campaigning works. May be a turnoff to some, but it does work.

McCain Feingold is another area where I'm not pleased with Bush or our side in the Senate. We passed the buck on to the Supremes, who wouldn't overturn it. What gutless politicians.

It's too bad it's all about party and winning. Service to the country would be a beautiful thing.

They just have the opportunity to tell Republicans they are sick of their lies on everything anybody can think of, from Iraq to the 9/11 air quality, from "Family Values" to "Homeland Security" and say:

I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE

Vote Republicans OUT wherever possible.

It's the least we can do.

Sitdown,

Agreed!

Leave it to the Pubs to take the low road.

That is all the Republicans have is Mud to sling. They can't run on their shitty record. Quite Typcal if You ask Me.

Republican Lies

It should be all that's required to change Congress. As simple as that.

Is there ANYTHING they haven't lied about?

"Is there ANYTHING they haven't lied about?"

No.

Thanx fer askin'.

I believe feces is the polite term for what the Republicans will be flinging at the voters.

"GOP Will Spend $45 Million Slinging Mud"

And that will make this election any different how?

And the Repubilcans haven't stopped flinging caca at the American voters since the day Bush took the oath of office.

"Unless I am mistaken, under McCain-Feingold only negative advertising is permissable."

You are mistaken.

Having lived in WI and seeing the ads that both candidates ran, I can tell you the republican candidate's ads did nothing but sling mud at Feingold, while Feingold stuck to the issues. Feingold is a class act.

Back to the article:

"Because challengers tend to be little-known compared with incumbents, they are more vulnerable to having their public image framed by the opposition through attacks and unflattering personal revelations."

What bull. Kerry wasn't an un-known, Murtha isn't an unknown, yet look what the republican Swift Boat Liars slung.

They're getting ready to go again, this time under a different name because they know their reputation was damaged in the last election...they're getting ready to sling at Murtha.

Far be it for republicans to find out what the new comer's stance is on the issues and debate those, or even criticize them. The slingshots are already loaded with mud.

Classy. Ethical. Moral. Riiiiggghhht!

But can they throw shit like the chimps at the San Antonio zoo? Those dudes are deadly.

I could vote for Russ, but here in the heart of dipshitville I'll probably just vote for some weird candidate just to make my vote stand out.
Nader, Badnarik; Where's LaRousche when you need him?

LOL.

Yep,pretty typical of the conservative mindset: millions of dollars in attack ad propaganda. When you have over ten years of nothing but constant failures, running on your ideas and record is a non-starter.

It's all in diebold's filthy, feces stained hands, unfortunately.

Spit on, naw shiat on, the computer voting terminals.

Demand a paper ballot.

Market research surely has told the GOP that those $45 million will be well spent. Make it $90 million and they'll even find something on Feingold. herm

and libcommies on the left will go about doing what they do best , lying , lying and more and more lying .
Your hatred for America has robbed us of our great American culture .
Your hatred for the U.S.Constitution has robbed true Americans of their country .
Your hatred of George W.Bush has robbed us of the highest elected office held by any true American .
Your hatred for God has robbed the country of morality .
Your hatred for the truth has inspired you to lie and subvert the laws of the land .
Your hatred for good will free the evils upon you that you so richly deserve .
YOUR HATRED will doom this country , making it unsecured against those that want to bring it to it's knees .
Your hatred for everything that was good about America proves your cowardice , you will have to one day ask yourself , what is worth fighting for ? What is worth dying for ?
You on the left will reap what you have sown , and those of us that believe in the old America will not take a stand for you as you have taught us that you are willing to live in bondage , forced to pray to a lowly god , appease those that Hate as you do , placate your minion with lies heaped upon lies .
You are the true cowards of the world , history will bear and reveal how truly pathetic you are , and that great countries are destroyed from within , you divided this country for 8 years , allowing the clintons to separate the rich from the poor , the healthy from the sick , color against color , ideology against ideology , you had to break down the borders of the country to get the worthless , useless nonAmericans to help build your base , all in the name of wanting power .
Watch the power of my GOD , Jesus Christ destroy everything you have built , he will take your master and totally destroy him . The days of your lies are over , may GOD bind your tongue of every lie .

I'm waiting, skidmark.

It's 12:50.
I'm waiting.
I may go swimming and then to bed.

But your cosmic buddy is welcome anytime.

OTOH

There are so many weeks.

I'm waiting.

Where's your "MY GOD"?

HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOO?

Me thinks Data needs Help very Badly

Larry

OMG, rightnut.

well MY god has more clout than yours... And it requires more than blind faith and vitriol to worship..

your list of sins pretty well describes the big government, constitution burning, corporate slaves to greed and power that you ascribe your blind faith to.

good luck finding your way out of the dark... sad little human.

"Me thinks Data needs Help very Badly

Larry"


Methinks Larry can't deal with the fact that Larry is going to die.

Just like all the rest of you.

This story is clearly red meat for the Leftists, and a perfect opportunity for the Repubs to play defense. Just fuel for the fire. A completely unbalanced article. The author could have researched the amount that both parties were spending on attacking each other. No, it had to be one sided. Yes, they mention Democrats have been known to spend money on negative attacks. Heavens forbid we get an unbiased article from the Washington Poser.

It's 1:13
There are documents to generate.
Where is Larry's little buddy?

"MY god has more clout than yours"

According to Larry.........

I must go sack out.....

Somehow I suspect Larry's imaginary god will fail to kiss my butt.

Sure boring waiting for Larry's god.

must sleep.............

You are the true cowards of the world , history will bear and reveal how truly pathetic you are , and that great countries are destroyed from within , you divided this country for 8 years , allowing the clintons to separate the rich from the poor , the healthy from the sick , color against color , ideology against ideology , you had to break down the borders of the country to get the worthless , useless nonAmericans to help build your base , all in the name of wanting power .

You make Jesus Christ so attractive, I do believe I need to get myself to the nearest bible believing church and turn myself in.

ah this is one cool thread....

and congrats to the retort for being so bi partisan......when you get back to the home page please notice that this thread is just above the one about michael.fat ass moore...talk about slinging shit....I mean.....mud....


and not one mention of george soros or moveon.org or the like....thats real good reporting.....well if you are howard dean or any of the other losers......



lisa....noone has to throw shit at feingold...he messed in his mess kit with his bogus bush impeachment nonsense.....
stick a fork in him.....he's done....he just doesnt know it yet.....

Of course they will resort to mud slinging, they have nothing else. The record of the GOPiggies both politically and personally have been horrible the past five years.

They have spent this nation into insolvency all while lying to America that they are the party of "fiscal responsibility".

They have signed bills that outsource American jobs while lying that they are "pro jobs".

Personally around here Tom Reynolds is running shit scared against Jack Davis. Davis points out Reynolds hypocrisy of saying he is "pro jobs" yet signed trade bills that outsource american jobs. Something else I have noticed is that Reynolds never mentions in his ads that he is a Republican. Now there is some pride in your political party. Of course he is now mud slinging. Good job Tom!

The Republitards are also fronting a patsy on the independence line against Davis since he is afraid to run against Davis directly in a primary. If the patsy wins the independence line he will bow out and give the endorsement to Reynolds. Now there is some courage by Tom. BTW Tom could never pass off as an "independent" anyways.... his voting record shows that.

Libs are simply pissed off that republicans are more giving and that the dems have shot their wads (money) chasing myths.

Republicans have more money to spend than dems. Simple as that. It's not that dems wouldn't / won't spend money running negative ads it's just they don't have as much to spend doing so.

The Illinois Gov. (a dem) has 15 times as much money to spend as his republican challenger and he's running lots and lots of negative ads against his republican challenger.... Shhhhhh don't tell anyone.

Rightnut,

I have been a Christian (yes, reborn) for 33 years now. "Your" God bears not even a passing resemblance to the Christ I have come to know in that time.

Please reread the scriptures re: hating your neighbor/brother. Jesus is the Prince of Peace--not the sultan of hate. In His presence are peace and love.

Please try to include a shred of either in your thoughts toward us, thank you. You are sounding like such a scribe/Pharisee. You sound like you want to get out a cross for the rest of us. I know the Cross--and it is the Lord who brings it to us. To me, people like you are part of believers' suffering.

"As you have done unto the least of these, so have you done unto Me."--Jesus

Thanx, Jimi

Jimi,
You hafta understand that Rightnut worships at the altar of capitalism, receiving communion from pastor Bush. His version of Christianity is that of "I got mine...".

Dirt,
That's only because Topinka has NOTHING, ZERO, NADA, when it comes to political achievements. Her own commercials only talk about her and her dog...impressive.
Her claim to fame was that she served under the most corrupt and criminal governor in Illinois history, George Ryan, who was represented by the law firm, pro bono, headed by the second most corrupt governor in Illinois history, big (and dumb) Jim Thompson.

All politicians use mud-slinging...on both sides...period.

Rightnut's speach sounds like something he could have written for the Taliban.

We don't need to worry about Islamic terrrrrerrrrrists: we have our own religious extremists to fight.

The Illinois Gov. (a dem) has 15 times as much money to spend as his republican challenger and he's running lots and lots of negative ads against his republican challenger.... Shhhhhh don't tell anyone.

Posted by dirtman580e at 2006-09-11 08:30 AM

That's because his Republican challenger was part of the culture of corruption which saw her two good friends, our previous two Republican governors, thrown in prison.

We already threw out the trash. Voting for Topinka is voting to bring the trash back in the house.

$45 million is a small price to assure that the truth gets out to the American public.

Cookfish,
Of course, when you've had complete and total control of the government for the past what, 4 years, and have nothing to show for it, how can you run ads that talk about your own positive accomplishments. Your only option is to slam the other guy.

GOP Will Spend $45 Million Slinging Mud

DEMS will rely on the MSM to sling theirs for free.

"Watch the power of my GOD , Jesus Christ destroy everything you have built , he will take your master and totally destroy him . The days of your lies are over , may GOD bind your tongue of every lie ."

Let's see some other Christian words of wisdom from rightnut:

"...we have been kissing the asses of afreakin Americans for 200 years . The only thing you can do for them is give them each as many white women , gold chains , mercedes or BMWs as they can handle ."

Posted by rightnut at 2005-07-22 05:28 PM

If the republicans are slinging the mud, then the dems are slinging the poo. Of course, whenever someone mentions the dems attacking republicans, its always responded to with, "but that's because the republicans are [insert attack here]."

Dirt,

That's true Polock, almost like Kerry and save the whale. And just like many libs voted for anyone but BUSH I'll be voting for anyone but Blogaiovich or however you spell his name.

I'm a small businessman and he's been the unfriendliest govenor to small business since I began living in this state 15 years ago. I don't know one other small businessman that will be voting for him but, then again I don't live in Chicago.

Yes, because everyone knows reality has such a liberal bias, that simply reporting the facts ends up being a criticism of conservatives.

Poor little fundies: always on the wrong side of reality, facts, and morality.

Quit your republifundie whining wanna-be.

"We already threw out the trash. Voting for Topinka is voting to bring the trash back in the house."

Rod Blagojevich is the picture of honesty. What a fucking tool you are.

WOW...It still baffles me that people don't realize that the Retort makes no bones about being partisan... "Red Meat for Yellow Dogs".

If you do realize that it's partisan and makes no bones about it, then you have no complaint. Oh sure, you can complain, but it only makes you look like an idiot.

Try going to most any reich-wing blog and try typing anything that deviates from the party line. Dissent is not tolerated. I guess when you send them your email address, you've officially signed the 'loyalty oath'.

no change there, in their strategy, their morality, or their inability to actually fix any of the problems we face...

""and congrats to the retort for being so bi partisan......when you get back to the home page please notice that this thread is just above the one about michael.fat ass moore...talk about slinging shit....I mean.....mud....""

But his mud was made of the ugly truth and that is why he is so hated by the reality impaired.

101,

DEMS will rely on the MSM to sling theirs for free.

C'mon, you can do better than this. You're a reasonably smart guy. In case you're really not, show me one clear instance, outside of Rathers little mess, where ABC, NBC or CBS was biased against the right, Bushco, etc. Clear...not as in you thought Peter Jennings facial expression was anti republican, or Brokaw was smiling like he didn't like Bush. Clear...not imagined. While you're digging, let me point out night after night after night, coverage blasting the Clinton/Lewinsky mess and Clinton in particular. EVERY NIGHT.
You honestly think anyone gave him a pass (outside of the rest of the planet) on that?

Dirt,
Vote for whomever you want but don't blast those who voted against president dim bulb, as opposed to voting for Kerry. Sometimes the choices are both just bad. I voted for Kerry and can't tell ya that he was a good candidate...just the lesser of two idiots.
Sad that anyone could support the repubs in Illinois after George Ryan, though. Ryan was Thompsons protege. If you have any doubt, read John Kass' column in the Chicago Tribune about Ryan and Thompson being overheard laughing about the verdict and his sentence, as Ryan peeked under bathroom stalls to make sure no one heard em. Pathetic...especially after those 6 kids burned to death as a direct result of Ryans illegal dealings.

common....I know what you are saying.....as I said somewhere else...I went on dailykos and after two posts I suddenly couldnt even read thier posts....I wasnt attacking the retort at all or didnt mean to if thats what you thought........it was a little joke about two threads next to each other...one about republican mud and the other about liberal mud..from michael moore.....thats all.....

and danni......I understand that you are a big fan of michael moore since he is anti corporate.....oops wait a minute...he or his wife owned how much stock of haliburton?

Evil,
I really do believe that there is a media bias. I don't document it but there are websites that do. There are websites from both perspectives so doing a tit-for tat isn't worth it.

A couple of things that I noticed/notice:
Kitty Kelly had every news program under the sun at her beck and call to promote a book about Laura the pot seller and George the cokehead, all of it through anonymous sources, and unsubstantiated, and all in the run-up to 2004.
The SwiftBoater's couldn't even catch a sniff of the big 3.

How many major news stories have ever come from Dean's "hotle staff" comment? How about Hillary's "Ghandi owned a gas station" or the other Senator (name escapes me) that said all of the deli's were owned by Indians?...Why no big blow-up over those comments, but when a Republican says something just as benign (I don't believe any of those instances should have been blown out of proportion) it's front page news for a month?

101,
You'll hafta explain Deans hotle (hotel?) staff remark. It doesn't sound familiar. On the other hand, you think Dean got a pass in the least when he did his little screech? He got buried. On every network.
Maybe Kitty Kelly got more airtime than the swift boaters but are either truly credible sources. Have you seen any of the resumes of the swift boaters? I think many still live in Bushes pants. There was one of em who "saw" what happened to Kerry re: a purple heart and it turns out the guy was miles away. Great eye sight.
No, I don't believe misteps are front page news...ever. I do know that Fox and Rush and Beck and Hannity are never fair. Yes, they're not necessarily news but there are alotta folks on the right who view them as gospel. There are no far left icons on disinformation.
I don't view short changing a story the way I view smothering and belittling the opposing view, which is all you see on those I mentioned above.

There are no far left icons on disinformation

Posted by evilpolock at 2006-09-11 02:44 PM

LMAO....

Let me help you.

There are no far left icons on disinformation that anyone will pay any attention to. Including DAN RATHER.

Evil,
I only mentioned the big 3, and didn't even bother to go to the NYT's.

Yes, as you suspected I am going to point out how Rush and Hannity aren't news but just talking heads.
If you are going to go that route then I'd bring up The Daily Show, Colbert Report, "That's my Bush", Bill Maher, Al Franken, Air America, etc...

Dean made a crack about hotel staffs being black and it's the only time there are blacks in a room with republicans (loosely).
That Dean Scream was pretty wild, and everyone, not just the big 3 found it funny enough to report, even the hardcore lefties.

There are some non-partisan studies on the nmber of negative stories on the Bush admin. I don't like pointing that shit out because I personally think most of the polls and the like are BS.

Who has more credibility, vetrans of a foriegn war that have been there and done that, or Kitty Kelly? You may not agree with the swifites or their tactics, but Kitty Kelly and her tabloid book got all of the morning shows, all of the 60 minutes, PrimeTime Live, Dateline, etc...

thank you 101......for bringing up kitty kelly....a darling of the left who can write anything she wants and the left calls it the gospel....and look at the comments about a docu drama based on the 9/11 commission and with info from people who were there.......

and its called republican mud but when its from the left about the right...its the truth and we are all stupid and ditto heads if we believe it.....

Dirt,
More silliness from you. If they don't have a forum or an idiot to give one to them (Ailes, Murdoch) then it's a non issue. If you're sitting at home blithering on about how you love Dubya and how he can do no wrong, it really doesn't matter since no one hears you. Name one far left screecher in prime time.

101,
Well, I don't know. If we're talking credibility, who do we trust, a vet with purple hearts or a weekend pilot who only saw action in the bars of Alabama? Just pointing out the gross hypocrisy of the right when it comes to military matters.
As for The Daily Show, Colbert Report, "That's my Bush", and Bill Maher, come on. No one looks at these guys as anything more than they are...comedians. The flip side is, Coulter is passed off by the far left as a credible journalist yet she's no more than a far right screed.
Show me anyone who passes him or herself off as serious news/journalism who is far left leaning.

101,
As for media studies, have you ever visited mediamatters.org? If so, how is he left biased? Yet, he finds daily "omissions" (read lies) from the right wing side of things.

Evil,
As I said, there are websites that argue both sides. Many people will argue media matters is a left wing site, and anything I'd post would be considered a rightwing site, so I just went with what I have personally seen.

Also, nobody, and I mean nobody sees Rush or the like as newsmen, just as nobody considers Al Franken a Newsman.

For every O'Reilly there is an Olberman or Larry King.

As for the veterans...Are you going to tell me that a tabloid book writer deserves the today show, the early show, good morning america, etc to discuss bullshit but a veterans group was turned down by all of the previously mentioned shows?

Dems will spend $112,000,000 eating shit!

Just generalizing: maybe this is wishful thinking beyond any reasonable hope of ever being achieved, but I read postings from the likes of Niceville/Derfloki, Oorah, BLT and RisR in their various incarnations, and they LOOK as if they believe it. I'd like to see a serious thread, stripped of all sarcasm, in which these guys tell us where they came from and how they got to be Bush fans.

Surely a dyed-in-the-wool, dogmatic corporate Republifundie must have SOME value I can relate to. Speak to me, brother. Stripped of bumper sticker rhetoric, give me some reason to believe that your road to fullfillment is straighter and wider than mine. herm

I doubt it, Herm. Ever talk to a lunatic? That's what you get from them: they are solid state rightwing goofballs, living entirely in the fantasy land called Bushworld, where Iraq is going 'swimmingly', Osama is sitting in Gitmo, Saddam had WMD, and their Republifundie death squads are blowing up abortion clinics, federal buildings, and shipping liberals off to secret prisons.

That's the Republifundie dream for America: believe it.
