Obama Tries to Salvage Dems as Final Dash Begins
 
CHICAGO - On his final campaign swing through four states in the Northeast and Midwest before Tuesday's midterm elections, President Obama is asking Democratic voters to go to the polls and help stem an expected Republican tide."Chicago, it's up to you to let them know that we have not forgotten, we don't have amnesia," the president told a large outdoor crowd late Saturday near his home, referring to the economic recession that hit during George W. Bush's presidency. He said the election is a choice between the policies that caused the problems and policies that will lead the country to better times.All four stops are in states Obama carried in 2008 -- Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois and Ohio -- and where Democrats are struggling this year. He is to headline a final rally Sunday in Cleveland before returning to Washington for Halloween with his family and other children invited to the White House.

Democrats Blame Bad Communication; Republicans,
 
Blame A Misguided Message.Two governors sparred over the message Democratic candidates are sending this election— if it’s the right one and if it is even being heard at all.

Governor Ed Rendell, D-Penn., started it all by blaming the Republican voter excitement on his party’s bad communication. Rendell said on CBS “Face the Nation,” “I think this administration has done a great job... We just did a lousy job communicating it. We let the Republicans, to their credit, out-spin us a year-and-a-half ago, and we're paying the price.”

I never saw any nazi posters at the tea party here in ABQ.

Not one.

I remember seeing some on the forums with BUSH as hitler (at a tea party rally, since a % of them hate Bush, too)...

It's mocking the tendency to paste Hitler moustaches on everyone you disagree with. Do a google image search for "obama hitler" and you'll see plenty of examples of what this sign is mocking. Since the point of the whole rally was "enough with the fearmongering bullcrap" there's your joke. Stop looking to be insulted or for the "ah-ha! we got 'em now!" moment. It was all about toning down the level of discourse in politics.

I suppose you missed these signs:

These are the same people that painted Bush as a Nazi for years.

I saw those posters right here in ABQ at a few of the anti-war rallies I drove past at the U.

Bush as Hitler, FAR more common than Obama as Hitler, sorry.

So here the left is complaining about exactly what they did for 7 years.

Now, when the shoe is (rarely) on the other foot, only then do we hear calls for moderation in language, etc. Where were left's calls for civility with Bush as Hitler (or as a chimp)? They were using moveon money to print the signs.

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Either the Bad Guys will win, in which case the country will go-to-hell-in-a-handbasket and we'll all be screwed, or the Good Guys will win, in which case Salvation-From-Above will be upon us - or would be if it weren't for those damned obstructionists who won't let our version of Paradise become a reality.

Of course which version is which depends entirely on which side managed to brainwash you first...oh, excuse me, I meant which way your independent thought processes have led you to the true truth, as opposed to the false truth propogated by those fear-mongering hate-spreaders.

Or is that fear-spreading hate-mongers?

I so want to make that entire post into my signature. Damn you, character limit!

Yes, tomorrow is the "big day". We can let the bad guys(Obama and Dems) keep control of our congress so they may continue to run up massive debt and drag us further to the Left and to piss on the constitution (with things such as the healthcare mandate) while continuing to divide us ever further.

On the other hand, we can elect a better, more American oriented group of people that have emerged onto the scene to replace the trash who have been in charge. Constitutional Conservatives who believe in the things that have made America great and will stop Obama's dangerous agenda which aims to make us over into his far left vision where wrong is right and right is wrong.

Rhetoric aside, the choice is clear........two years and the policies have not worked, Obama is too arrogant/foolish to realize this and will continue to do so if unchecked with a Dem majority.Want America to survive and prosper again? Bring some balance in so he does not have a no limit credit card any long.Vote the Dems out.

Take a screen shot and post the image? It's worth reposting every two years, at least.

Gerald 11-01-10 04:30 PM

But that must seem quite nice to get it over with, so that you consider the other relevant things instead.

We can at least rest easy that nothing major will happen for at least 2 years.
