Republicans Smear To Win-Obama Supporters Work

The new Obama attack book is all the rage and the media is in a tizzy. Will Obama be swiftboated by the swiftboater?

But what folks don't know, is while the republicans and their agents smear for political gain, Obama supporters are on the ground making posters, talking to voters, getting voters registered, creating art, painting barns, showing support, holding weekly meetings, talking about issues and getting involved.

See the difference between the two groups?

One group thinks it can win by attacking the other, spreading lies and starting rumors. The republicans have even gone after Obama supporters, calling them Kool-Aid drinkers and mindless. Juvenile. But it's been called their best chance to win, which doesn't say much about what they have to offer.

Their message: Only the misinformed sheep could vote for Obama. He's just an "empty suit." Believe me, I get the emails. They don't like their candidate, so they just throw stones at the other guy.

The other group has its head down, is huddled around kitchen tables, living rooms and Obama offices around the country, working to get the message out, signing up voters, spreading information and above all, saying something positive. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be with the group that has a positive message and wants to get things done.
