ONE Democrat does not equal "democrats." I am ALSO a democrat, and you will see later in the thread where I said I felt it was improper to pull wives into this. You could just have accurately stated "Obama Supporters Say Don't Bring McCain's Wife Into It." Right?

LOL, so if I found some guy who said Barack Obama's daughters were mentally challenged, I could make a post on here saying the Republicans are attacking Obama's daughters?

It's called hypocrisy.. I didn't see Whaler saying "OMG don't say those things about Mrs. Obama! Don't bring candidate's wives into it!".. But when his candidates wife is brought into it he goes on the ultra, whiny defensive.

Sure it is! Michelle has put herself out there as something of a co-candidate.Cindy has not! Billy has the right to express his views on her appearance however he chooses! Democrats can do the same about Cindy, but I will point out thaht it shows that they are scared of McCain if they do!

And here, you are wrong again. Cindy is out there JUST AS MUCH as Michelle. She did that ABC interview the other day, remember? She appears with John at all his rallies. Why is it OK to criticize HER, and NOT Cindy?

I say leave them BOTH out of it and concentrate on the candidates.

So you're massively over-generalizing Democrats. Your point still doesn't remain...

You must be new to this logic thing...

LOL @ Michelle putting herself out there as a co-candidate. DO NOT tell me that you think supporting your husband and stumping for him every so often is putting yourself out there as a co-candidate. Because if you believe that Cindy has done the same.

DO NOT be a hypocrite. Either take a stand (candidates wives can be criticized or candidates wives can't be criticized and stick with it).

Cindy has "put herself out there" as well. Do not take us for idiots who swallow your BS.

So when Democrats criticize Cindy it is because they are scared of McCain, but when BillyBob and his ilk criticize Michelle, why is that?

Logically it would seem because they are afraid of Obama? But of course I would like your opinion.

I think all this garbage we are seeing such as the crap about wives is a symptom of the exponential growth of the internet as a political media engine.
Remember the swiftboat in 2004? It's just travelling along the same slippery slope. Check out Youtube for the new brand of "political reporting"... one that makes blogs look substantial and objective! Soundbites and selective footage turning into a festival of crap.

Don't worry though. All this crap is sure to just cause a lot of the suddenly activated young voters get bored or disillusioned by the end of the election... and we'll probably see a decline of this kind of shallow junk in the future. I think it's peaking because this is the first presidential election of YouTube.
