How Liberal Trolls Are Working To Get McCain Elected President

[metta 0]

There really is not that much that Obama or McCain have said, which changes either of their initial platforms very much, so it would make sense to see each platform grow gradually, and about to the same degree, though with more people identifying themselves as Democrats, Obama frankly should be doing better than he is seeing in hard numbers. And that brings us to what, precisely, would be dragging him back. And that is where the trolls come in. People plain do not like trolls. Some of us work for trolls, like the caveman who steals your work for his own credit, or the sadist who likes abusing his staff as far as he can get away with it. Some of us see them in traffic, the guys who cut you off in traffic while signaling a gesture that most parents would not want to have to explain to their kids. And of course, there are the political trolls. And like all trolls, people react to them adversely, but what sets them apart is that they also tend to damage their patron at times. And so it is, that Barack Obama's pet trolls have been chewing away at support he needs in the election, weighing him down and making his message look, well, like he's lying through his teeth. It's one thing for The Obama campaign to examine Governor Palin's record as an executive, but out of line to attack her family as their trolls have done so gleefully. And since Obama has not made much of an effort to rein them in, the implicit approval of their attacks has attached him to the stench of their conduct. So too, the smear attempts by trolls to deny John McCain's heroic service in Vietnam has come back to make people wonder about why Barack Obama has not tried much at all to make clear that he respects John McCain's service. Barack Obama has been a little too cute the past month, with monsters who - if not under his direction, they have certainly not been condemned by his campaign - have tried to damaged the public perception of John McCain and Sarah Palin, but have instead provided each a stage to defend their records (which they have done well) and to make regular folks question why a man like Obama, Mister 'Above the Rancor', would let his people act like thugs. While Obama has tried to distance himself from the dirty tricks, they are very similar to tactics he used to defeat Hillary Clinton in the primary season, further staining the image he tried to paint for himself.

To be fair, there are Republican trolls as well as Democrat trolls, and Conservative trolls just as there are Liberal trolls, though it does seem to me that the Liberal variety breed a lot more, and that the Democrats like to encourage the vermin on their side, while Republicans would generally prefer a clean contest.

:rofl:

metta...what kind of troll do you consider yourself?

Those swiftboaters were certainly not trolls.

This divisive political chicanery was mastered by Rove in the last two elections.

Well, I've decided that I can no longer engage in serious conversation/debate on VJ when it comes to this subject because people either spew hateful comments or act superior and all women's-rights-yer-all-bad-dems. I can't take it anymore, so Oolong with a pancake it is

You're on sister. I might just contribute with completely unrelated pics as well!!!

[jundp 191]

Please do. I figure since most of what I attempt to contribute is either twisted or insulted (except by the sane people and the open minded....on both sides of the political divide here) there's no longer a point in attempting intelligent discourse.

Therefore random photos will do.

I quite like yours, Len.

Noooooooo...don't let anyone drive you away from stating your well thought out opinions on political issues.

[jundp 191]

Well, most people think I'm a crack pot due to my views on life and death. Which I'm ok with. But I'm just sooooooooooooooooo tired of certain peoples' elitist attitudes and condescension. Hell, I teach teenagers. I so don't need it for the fun stuff
