Pity These Won't Fit On Bumper Stickers
With the Dem WH '08ers (minus Barack Obama, of course) busy at the AFSCME candidate forum in Carson City, NV, this afternoon, the RNC marked the occasion by sending out a series of press releases so supporters can "meet" the Dem field. Each candidate got an individual release presenting several pages of unflattering quotes about him or her --- plus a particularly snappy, one-line summary:
Meet Joe Biden, "An Undisciplined, Self-Described Northeast Liberal, In Love With The Sound Of His Own Voice."
There's Hillary Rodham Clinton, "A Calculating, Divisive, Lifelong Liberal With Political Baggage."
Don't forget Chris Dodd, "A New England Liberal, Past His Prime, On An Unrealistic Vanity Run For The White House."
Re-introduce yourself to John Edwards, "A Hypocritical, Inexperienced Liberal With A New Negative Attitude."
There's no escape for Obama, "An Inexperienced, Insulated, Arrogant, Unabashed Liberal."
Check out Bill Richardson, "A Self-Promoting, Washington Insider With A Controversial Record."
And, last but certainly not least, get to know Tom Vilsack, "A Tax-Hiking, Mismanaging, 'Blip' Candidate With No Foreign Policy Experience."
Uh... poor Dennis Kucinich.
Nice of you to reprint the RNC spin on the Democratic presidential candidates. Do you do the stenography at trials as well?
I don't understand why politicians feel the need to insult each other like this. This is really childish. What's more, it really doesn't accomplish anything. Those inclined to believe all these wouldn't vote for a democrat anyways. And I'm not saying democrats don't pull similar tricks. In most other competitive fields, opponents tend to have a respect for one another. That means no worthless, personal cheapshots. It is fair to call your opponent out on legitimate weaknesses in their record, but this - Obama "arrogant," Biden "In Love with the sound of his own voice." Come on.
Those fair and balanced rnc guys.
