Desperate times breed….
I’m actually referring to the Republicans not the economy in this instance, although it appears that desperate times for many of us on on the horizon. The Republicans are indeed desperate. In the past couple of weeks they have abandoned any quiet dirty campaigning (at least they pretended they were being quiet) and have resorted to Rove-like FUD attacks (FUD=Fear Uncertainty and Doubt). They are starting to throw the kitchen sink at em. Let’s recap:
- Barrack “Hussein” Obama, lame attempt to make people think he is an Arab, terrorist, or Muslim by referring to him this way. Campbell Brown calls this race-baiting.
- He’s a “pal” of the terrorists, more FUD trying to make a closer connection with Bill Ayers
- Drugs. all of sudden past drug use becomes an issue (even though Obama openly wrote about it). I love this one, fucking Republicans didn’t seem to mind Bush snorting some lines.
- Obama too risky. This I also believe, but no more risky than McCain, that guy seems a) unstable as hell, and b) one extra long night of sleep away from being dead.
So why do the Republicans resort to these negative lowest common denominator attacks? Because it works. How else do you think that Bush was elected not once but twice? It is all about the FUD.

Fudd’s gay, right? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, just wondering.
It is so sad that politics always ends up in the sewer. I think it’s because there’s so much to gain by being in an elective office.
