Today I got FOUR pieces of anti-Obama filth in the mail.
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 11:41 AM by PA Democrat
Yes FOUR different flyers smearing Obama.

McCain is whining about Obama's 30 minute ad tonight to talk about his plans for America. Well, McCain could afford to do the same if he didn't spend so much on filthy smears. But I guess that's the whole point, McCain doesn't want to talk about his plans because he has none, except to follow the same script written by Bush/ Cheney.

Contessa Brewer on MSNBC is saying that Obama's ad may turn voters off. Personally, at one time I actually respected McCain. I now despise him. He has no honor and no morals.

1. I've been getting all kinds of junk from the GOP lately.
Bashing Obama, Larry Kissell, Kay Hagan, etc. Little do they know I've already voted a straight Democratic ticket. :)
I just place the junk in File 13.

4. I've been mailing them back with a copy of an email
confirming an additional donation to Obama, but I can't afford to donate anymore money this week, so I am donating more time to the campaign instead.

I've never received so much negative campaign literature as I have this year. It's easily 10 times greater than past years and 90% of it is from Republicans.

I will be so happy when this election is OVER.

13. I got a neg one last week on the same day that the Naral mailer came
reminding me of who's cool on choice.


But usually I don't get Rep-type mail. It really pisses me off. And to top it off they opened a MCCain office in SQ Hill! :wtf:

6. We got it in 2004, when the race for PA was even tighter, but this
year breaks all records. But on the upside, Obama's ground game in PA far surpasses anything I have seen in the past. I'll be working to GOTV again this year in areas that we never had the manpower to even touch in 2004 and years past.

5. Today I only received the "bitter flyer"
Here in rural PA, I guess we should have seen it coming....

Absolutely nothing in any of the flyers to say why one should vote for John McCain. The GOP is despicable.

8. Here's what I got today:
1. "Are your values shared by Barack Obama?" then the bitter quote with the scariest picture of Obama I've ever seen.

2. "Who is Barack Obama?" linking Obama to Rezko.

3. "Bitter." "Barack Obama: Not who you think he is."

4. "How do Barack Obama's plans impact YOU budget?" Of course you can guess the answer they provide- he's going to raise your income taxes, raise your Social Security taxes, "cost every American an additional $3,000 per year" due to his "mandated health plan" and raise "investment taxes".




:mad:

11. #3 is the one I received today but this past Saturday I received
your #2.

I even went on the PA - RNC website to see if I could e-mail them, but there is no e-mail contact address.

:grr: Guess we'll be getting a mailing a day until next Tuesday.

7. Saw MSNBC not advertising O's ad tonight...
They showed a graphic and mentioned a special Olbermann at 8:30PM(eastern).

12. me too! I ripped em up and threw em in the garbage!
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 12:24 PM by tigereye
and at work today I encountered a woman who is a Dem who is "scared" of Obama. What a bunch of crap. I have half a mind to call the RNC and rant at em.


:grr:



However, the cover of the New Yorker that came today cheered me up -



that's kids scared by Palin and McCain costumes (or possibly the real thing) if you can't see since it's small...
