Is it time for Dems to get mean?

Not just Obama, but every single Democrat needs to be willing to take on Republicans as THE ENEMY, to expose Republicans for the filth they are, and refuse to give any Republican either comfort, aid or shelter.

Republicans -- you wanted war: well, YOU GOT IT.

Fighting dirty isn't acting like a man. Fighting respectably is, and Obama has done a fine job of that. The Democrats should in no way stoop to the level of the Republicans by mud slinging, lying, and distracting from the issues. If Obama keeps repeating his message of change and backs it up with solid policies, there's no way he can lose.

Yes you are right about that because I hear a lot of people say the same thing that you have just said . And thanks dude style for saying something about those 90,000 dead civilians in Iraq not counting every other unnecessary deaths in that unnecessary B S oil war that bush and cheney have unnecessarily created !!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN'08 !!!!!

how was the pig comment mean ? he was referring to a policy, you can't be mean to a policy.

it would ruin him to stoop to their karl rove tactics, and that's just not who barack is.

barack and all his supporters (including YA!) must maintain civility while being forceful. reactions to the repub crap needs to be direct, forceful, and to the friggin point. its as if mccain people can't understand more than a few words strung together.

obama needs to take advantage of the nation's bumper sticker mentality. then get back to pushing for the policies he has to bring america back to some esteem (from both with in and with out)

Obama has dispensed a cadre of at least 30 lawyers and researches to Alaska to dig up dirt.

Now that's the mark of a new kind of above the fray politician just like he said he would be. No wonder so many of the younger voters are disenchanted with this "new kind of politician."

Am with you. The dirtier Obama gets the higher McCain's numbers.

fighting dirty doesn't make you a man..sticking to the facts and issues and as a result winning the election makes you THE MAN.

Obama is fighting back, intelligently. He's stating facts not smears.

I respect that more than mccain's camp. They think they can win on fear, lies, sexism, and using the other guy's slogan...you take all of that away and what do you have?

An old guy and a jesus freak from a very very small town.

Watching Obama try to man up would be like watching Wolf Blitzer try to man up. It would just end up being funny.

Obama is meeting with Bill Clinton, so Obama may walk away with a few fleas.

People are turning against him in record numbers. This will only solidify the people who have seen through his lies and will be voting republican!

What do you mean by get mean. I heard so many mean spirited and bigoted things from the so called liberals against Hillary first and now against Pailn.

Face it a male Democrat is afraid of a woman.
