Texsox Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I really dislike it when a campaign tries tomake the smallest misstep seem like a huge problem. A slip of the tongue, an unpaid bill, a candidate's middle name, a pin on his/her lapel. There are so many big issues, that I can give a rip about what color his socks are or which team he wants to win the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) I really dislike it when a campaign is completely altered to include the word "change" just because a better candidate uses that word in his better campaign.

Reddy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 i hate it when campaigns base their campaign entirely on meaningless rhetoric to rile up emotions instead of actually dealing with issues. this is why the candidates i support always lose - they're issues candidates.

sox4lifeinPA Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I really dislike it when an "aide" or "staffer" makes ridiculous claims on behalf of the candidate...why can't the candidate say it and be held accountable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're talking about Obama, and IMO this is getting blown all out of proportion, any time I hear a Republican (or sometimes a Hillary supporter) say something like "Obama is shallow and all talk, great speaker and nothing more" or "Obama's supporters probably don't even know what his policies and plans are, they just like hearing him talk" it makes me wonder how much they really know about Obama. Truth be told Obama has voted in lock step with the Dems since he's been elected to the Senate (he's not different from any other Democrat) and on most of the major issues, his stances are either really close or identical to Hillary's. If someone really doesn't know where Obama stands on major political issues by now they have to just be deliberately ignoring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 BTW I really hate it when a campaign gets desperate and starts attacking the other candidate personally and start getting away from the issues, I also hate the subtle but irrelevant low blows.
