Obama went back on his word and decided to go for cash instead of integrity
Paraphrased, that's what John McCain wants us to believe.

The facts are different. Olbermann did as good a job as anyone in giving the :::gasp::: facts.

Now, facts aside, I LOVE it that the Democrat is kicking the ever loving shit out of the Repubican in the fundraising department. I LOVE that McJohnny hasta go on the public dole for campaign cash cuz no one wants to give him shit.

Too Fucking Bad, Mr and Mrs Repubican Asshat.

Too

Fucking

Bad.

Bwahahahahaha

3. The MSM is going batshit insane because now we have a chance.
They thought they could just slide the repug in like in 2004 by repeating 527 smears, but now we have the resources to fight them.

Good job Barack!

24. And also more and more people are not listening to the mainstream media
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 12:47 PM by truedelphi
That and the fact that many of Obama's supporters are under the age of thirty means that their mouths flapping is just so much spitting in the wind.

Just as Russert explained about fifteen years ago, that he wrote his message with the slant needed to impress his boss, Jack Welch of GE, so too many of the M$M are realizing that when a message is tailored to only fit the idealogy of the upper 1%, they can easily lose their audience when an alternative news source spells out the real truth.

And the internet is that alternative. We might be seeing a tipping point.

When there is enough truth speeaking to power, the truth becomes POWER.

6. You've hit on the simple comeback talking point,...
"So what you're saying is, Barack Obama can fundraise circles around the entire Republican Party."

25. Yeah, I like it too, a LOT! And it's about time our side had the money advantage,
especially since, as I understand it, the RNC has outraised the DNC by something like a factor of ten - FORTY million versus FOUR.

But there's still something I'm not sure I understand yet. I'd love some DU love on this:

And thank you in advance.

15. In honor of Obama deciding against accepting public funding ...
I just now went through the link pinned to the top of this board and donated $25 to his campaign. I urge all other DU members to do the same. :evilgrin:

18. This gives to the broke DNC, while the RNC is very flush. It's a balancing out.

19. Because he is not naive...
He knows that the Republicans would cheat at every opportunity. In fact, John McCain has already broken the rules. Why should anyone believe them?
