Should Obama win the nomination, what will the republicans throw at him?

Flip-flopper? Socialist? Drug user? Father of black babies? :P

:shrug:

No, but seriously, what will they say about him?

Forgot about that one. :P

Even for Republicans, they will slam that into oblivion.

but seriously- look at their candidates! :rofl: have you ever seen a more incompetent bunch of boobs?

The Repiglickin Media and Diebold can get ANYBODY elected. :scared:

And he's too black.

and he also drank alcohol while he's in high school. Clearly not fit to be president

disgusting but that is what they'll do.

Address him always as Barack Hussein Obama.

"Obama’s New Addiction?
Senator Barack Obama is using nicotine gum to help him quit smoking. Now the question is, can he quit the gum?"

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/02/obamas-new-addiction/

As a former smoker I wish him luck and health...

not that it matters to me if he does or doesn't, but I too wish him well and hope he is able to stay off the nicotine.

The last one is the only thing he can do anything about. He'd need a VP that definitely brings the experience.

just might do it. But the guy is SO old now.

:eyes:

I don't think he will bring much national excitement to the ticket, and he won't flip a purple state.

Check out the comments....

(The UT should be shut down in my oppinion - it's comments sections are almost all right wing extreamist - the actual population in San Diego is not like the comment section...)

a common ass name for Obama. I won't lower myself to the Hillary bashers. They slither .

of pro and anti Clinton name calling on DU? I predict it would be lopsided as hell."Hilldog"(rhymes with bitch) is the latest bomb from the teenage insult lobbers here.

Never votes on controversial issues...just a guess.

point out that Hillary said this.

They will point out all the votes he shared with Hillary. And try to paint him as a black hillary!

You heard here first. The Reps have invested all their energy into opposing hillary. If they fail...or rather if we fail to nominate her, then they will have to settle for trying to attack the others and try to associate them with her!

What else can they do? Without Hillary, they are sunk!

One MLK was too many!

And it will blow all of their minds.

As if that were a bad idea.

Totally nonviable. :P

along with at least a few "accidental" OSAMA's thrown in for good measure. The "madras" school stuff. Closet-Muslim will be implied, intimated and probably shouted out-loud by the repugs. And, whatever he and his family may have done in the past will be aired out. Hopefully this will be to NO avail. I can't imagine too many Democrats who would buy into it, though some secretly will. I take it for granted that repugs are racists and bigots so I don't think he will be able to garner many "Obama republicans" to his side.

All of this is moot, since I don't think he has much of a chance of winning the nomination. His inexperience is reason enough for me not to vote for him in the primary.

with them, there's less there there. They'll have to resort to character assassination rather than the issues. But that's okay because, they'll be in a better position to strike back. Kerry's being swiftboated isn't what hurt him--it was his apparent reluctance to defend himself from it.

:headbang:

Only a total idiot would keep a name like that and expect to to win in a national election.
It was bad judgement not to have legally carved it off years ago. The Repugs would titter, but it would not be as big a deal. In fact, the whole name should have been changed to bland anglo.
I say this coming from a family who also changed their name after arriving in America over a
hundred years ago. In Rome do as the blah blah. But it is true.

Nothin muslim about that.

his name WAS Hussein.

But it's a stupid story anyways.

Oh, it's also Oprah's church as well. But, I'm sure this Rev. is way off base about it....but the republicans are talking about it.....

<snip>
Surprisingly Barack Obama’s Achilles Heel might very well be his choice of Christian churches. Despite its mainstream name the "United Church of Christ" holds many beliefs that many Americans would find highly questionable. The United Church of Christ was formed in 1957 and is estimated to have approximately 1.2 million members. The Church itself gives local congregations a great deal of control over individual doctrines. Mr. Obama and his family belong to Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. It is always refreshing to see a politician who is active in his local church; however, in Mr. Obama’s case his choice of congregations might raise some eyebrows.

Trinity United Church of Christ is a church which seems on the surface to exclude people based on race. In short, Trinity United Church of Christ is segregationist. The Church’s Web site declares, "We are a congregation which is unashamedly Black…We are an African people, and remain ‘true to our native land,’ the mother continent, the cradle of civilization." In this declaration of belief Mr. Obama’s church seems to make it very clear that they are not welcoming of other Christians based solely on their race. If a white politician were a member of a church which declared itself to be “unashamedly white” he would be rightfully run out of public service.

<snip>
As Mr. Obama’s popularity grows, it is predictable that Hillary Clinton’s supporters in the mainstream media might begin to report on some of the more disturbing beliefs of Senator Obama. In short, Senator Obama’s lack of a track record which may seem so beneficial this early in the campaign may become his undoing when the American public and rational voters begin to feel the heat and teach Mr. Obama a lesson in real world politics.

feel like making up. They're schmucks. So I would expect the worst and lowest of them.
