by Mike Dorning

In an apparent attempt to discredit Barack Obama, a high-ranking union official supporting Hillary Clinton is circulating a plan for a hypothetical Republican attack based on the Illinois senator's past association with 1960s radicals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, according to the web site The Huffington Post.

A three-page emailed essay by Rick Sloan, communications director for the International Association of Machinists as Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), has been distributed to union leaders and Democratic operatives, according to web report.

Sloan told the Huffington Post that the paper is his best guess at the plans of Republican operative Karl Rove, who is an informal adviser to the John McCain campaign. Thetitle of Sloan's paper is: "What Is Rove Up To?"

According to the Huffington Post, Sloan wrote in his essay:

The drip, drip, drip of Republican opposition research will continue throughout the summer. At the Republican Convention, speakers will joke about a color spectrum of light pink to deep red. And the GOP attack machine will publicize the visual that Rove believes will give that Ayers-Obama link 'power and force.'

That's ashame. With all the problems we face I would have hoped we could discuss real issues. Guess it's politics as usual.


I will also add...that this is not helping the party. At some point we need to look at what we are doing to ourselves. The rabid right has enough foam on their mouths without our help.


If Obama cared about this Democrat Party, he would have separated himself from Wright, Farrankhan and Ayers, as all three of these men do not sit well with being proAmerica pro or pro ALL Americans. And Obama wants to represent ALL Americans. This is Obama's fault and has noone to blame but himself. And he, and he alone, must take the responsibility. He has turned the Democrat Party into a bunch of hypocrites. He should have distanced himself from all this, got a little more experience, and introduced himself over the next four years and then ran in 2012. But he did not want to wait. He wants the Presidency so bad that he has overlooked his own resume and feels he can talk and buy himself into the office. Big Mistake.


I heard that Obama is actually going to call for a final debate tomorrow that will be held before the North Carolina/Indiana Primary. I heard he is going to call it the REAL DEAL IN CHAPEL HILL and that he will not take umbrage to any personal questions, as long as for every personal question, they in turn ask a policy question.

I heard he is even going to hand a fig leaf to Sen. Clinton and say she doesn't have to answer any personal questions and only join in on the policy questions. It sounds like a real Rocky Moment if it is true.

IS THIS TRUE SWAMP?

Gee, Now isn't this just "Special" Maybe we should just let the Republican Party run the Democrat Nominees as they see fit. Lets give them all the ammo just in case they could overlook something.
What is wrong with this guy? Oh a high union official, now I get it. It's called favors for money.


Let us all hope PA puts an end to the Democratic Party's misery and supports Sen. Obama. It is time to bring jobs back to those who have lost their income. This can only be done by a President who does not owe anything to foreign interests and large corporations. Women in particular will carry a heavy responsibility on Tuesday.


The press has all the right in the world to question Obama in the BitterGate and now that Obama worked for terrorist William Ayers. He said he was 8 when Ayers bombed New York. Nice try. But he was 30something when he served on a board with Mr. Ayers in the 1990’s, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid, underlined PAID directorship position. They worked together, attended fundraisers together, Ayers held fundraisers and was a contributor to Obama’s Chicago’s campaign, plus they are neighbors and visited each other quite often. Enough said. This relationship deserves being vetted. As an adult Obama made the decision to work with a terrorist. This is a legitimate issue, the judgment and associations of the possible nominee. Its goes straight to the reason why democrats have lost the last two elections. It goes directly to his associations with Farrahkan, Wright, Ayers, Auchi and Refko. This needs to be fully vetted.


Rick Sloan doesn't think that Karl Rove and his ilk aren't piling up opposition research on Hillary? The Republicans would swift boat Jesus Christ if he was the Democratic nominee.

Besides, Karl Rove was George W Bush's "architect", the builder of the Bush legacy. Problem is, the market for anything Bush related is lamer than the housing market.


"What Is Rove Up To?"

No really, what is Rove up too now? I'm being serious.

On a side note Jenna Bush is getting married May 10. Hopefully Rove is uninvited. We wouldn't want anything to happen to that little black lump on the lawn during the wedding called Barney. Well, I found it interesting that Jenna will be taking up work at some energy company that works for nuclear plants. I thought she wanted to teach....

I'll chip an idea for a Swamp posting..on the brink of the PA election--Bush Administration. Where are they now? What are they up to? What are their thoughts on the election and the candidates?


"Hypothetical?" It looks like he did all the work for us.


Vote Obama, Pennsylvania!


With a stupid loud mouth like B Hussein Obama who surrounds himself with smarmy characters and all around bad dudes you don't need the Architect Karl Rove. Obama is self destructing all by himself. Jerry White, Springfield, IL


Rick Sloan has a personal ax to grind against Obama. I responded to an attack piece of his about the Maytag closings, pointing out that Obama and Durbin had helped workers. He was kind enough to reply, but couldn't stop lamblasting and didn't answer any of my points. Mr. Sloan seems to have taken personal offense, perhaps from Obama not having magical superpowers to prevent Maytag from closing instead of just getting funding for retraining. He is a true blue union guy, but I wouldn't take his opinion at face value.


You can't trust any of those Republicans, and I do mean those masquerading as Democrats, as well!!! Keep on trucking, Senator Obama!!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

Clinton is the Republican operative, which is why her campaign and supporters are floating this.
What people fail to realize is, it doesn't matter what McCain and the Republicans intend to throw at Obama, Clinton betrayed the Democratic party and all it stands for. Nobody crosses that line. Nobody. The sore loser kitchen sink tactics that are 'toughening him up' are not for a fellow democrat, who has no chance of winning, to do! She is a traitor. A horrible team player who cannot be trusted. Hillary has proven time and time again, that she is disloyal to the party and people who made her first lady and a senator. She has cursed, spat upon and even taken a crap on the Democratic party, and there is no end in sight. It's fine for Sean Hannity, Fox and Republican 527s to do it, but eating your own young is a cannibalism that will forever define the monstrous character of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hillary's oppo research team is moving pretty slowly. First we had Kindergate when Obama was five, now we have Weathergate when he was eight. Are Clinton interns really so young those ages are their idea of turning points in life?

I can hardly wait for the next installment of What Obama Did Next. I think at eleven boys would read MAD magazine and laugh at Alfred E. Neuman. "What, me worry?"



Obama: The Con

Obama has fixed this race by deception to Americans. He has lied about his background and his connections with radical, Anti American, anti semitic leaders until just a few months ago. He has hidden his relationship with Reverend Wright,, Farrakhan, the “Nation of Islam’ leader, Syrian Criminal, Anton Rezko and his Black Liberation Theology since the beginning of the primary. Most of my community have changed their minds about this man and will not vote for him in the general election because of this lies and deception.

This whole election process, especially not seating Florida and Michigan,with almost 400 delegates, is a disgrace for the American people. John King keep showing his map with only 48 states. These maps and math are convincing superdelegates that Obama is in the lead.

There are 50 states in our country. Obama has done everything in his power to convince everyone that there is only 48 by not having a revote or even seating them.

The postponement of seating these state is a deliberate act. Senator Obmama is deliberately postponing this decision to brag about his lead.

For those people that were too young to know President Clinton.He is not liked, but loved through out the world. Our country was thriving, the era was "upbeat" and there was peace in our country.
There is no way to compare "Bush" and Clinton. The Clintons were the BEST!

The media has painted President Clinton as a racist in spite of the fact that he has an office in Harlem. He could have had his office on 5th Avenue overlooking Central Park but chose to be near the African American people. His years in office were spent fighting for civil rights and for the underdog, especially African American.

The coverage of this campaign is disgraceful in this regard above all. African Americans should be ashamed of how they have treated all of the Clintons.

Trinity United Church of Christ, Tony Rezko the Syrian Criminal, Louis Farrakhan a radical "Nation of Islam"leader, William Ayers a 60’s radical that bombed government buildings and Muslim upbringing should be a wake up call to Democrats.

Please don't blow the chance with a con man that has known about these issues before the first primary and kept it away from the media until the end of this race.

Senator Obama will lose this election if he's the nominee.

Lastly and something that needs to be evaluated is the race issue; There will never be a fair an accurate poll determining how many people will really vote for Obama. McCain will win if the Democrats don't wake up.

On Fox News Sunday, Williams claimed Obama's Muslim father "presents a problem"
On the January 21 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams noted that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "comes from a father who was a Muslim" and added that "given that we're at war with Muslim extremists, that presents a problem."

How much more bad news do we need to know about a Democrat candidate before we realize that this man is laughing up his sleeve at all of us.
Wake up Democrats. We can not and will not win this election unless we run from Obama and start supporting the Clintons.

Please keep the unsettling issues pertaining to Senator Obama in the forefront.
There are too many issues surrounding this man that disturbs many Americans and believe me, there will be many more to come.
