Politics is a mean and nasty game. "It's not tiddlywinks" goes the cliche. People who aren't good at the game or who aren't willing to play by its dirty rules should get the hell out.
Personally I don't care who the Democratic nominee is. I have only one question I need answered - Can you beat the fucking Republicans?
I don't like what I am currently seeing and hearing from the Obama camp. Whining about your opponents tactics is a losers game and we don't need any more losers. It's time for Obama to fight fire with fire or get the hell out.
When it comes to campaigning, the Clintons are the closest thing the Democrats have to Republicans, i.e., they play to win and don't give a fuck what they have to do to beat the crap out of their opponent.
As good as they are at the game they are a distant second to the best Republicans at running a mean and nasty campaign.
If Obama and his strategists are not smart enough, tough enough, clever enough, experienced enough to counter the campaign tactics of the Clintons then they aren't going to beat the fucking Republicans and at the end of the day that's what matters to me.
I'm tired of righteous losers and can't bear the thought of another Dukakis or Kerry bringing a knife to a gunfight.
