Repeatedly, and with gusto!

Take away their whining about everything, from the Liberal Media, to Obama’s popularity, and they might as well have Duct Tape across their mouths.

I would love to see a Concerted response from Liberals everywhere – to the effect –

Stop your whining already.

All you can do is whine.

Stop acting like cry-babies, we have serious problems in this country, and your response is to whine ???

Do you have anything grown-up to say?

You’re talking like you just came from a school yard.

Grow up, and be a man, and quite your belly-aching already.

America’s heard enough of conservative whining.

Even Conservative Diety Richard Viguerie is whining Conservatives were robbed with G.W. Bush, and he wants America to try another “conservative” Republican. Whine. Whine. Whine.

These “guys” are world class whines.

Did I mention so to are the corporate media cry-baby talking heads ???

Certainly not most people here or the Obama campaign. The campaign is currently developing a ground game that is one of the most impressive in America’s history. I had and saw many discussions during the primary with Obamatrons who were worried he wasn’t fighting back enough and so on, and we know how that turned out. Granted, the dynamics are different in the general, but we have history to show that July advertising has little to do with Prez election outcomes. Prez winners usually have the strongest ground game, and Obama is dominating in this category. I’m surprised he’s already doing as well as he is in polls right now.

I have more faith in Obama than I did in Kerry, but I’m worried even more about the “technical” things that could go wrong…
