In that spirit, I will only chime in on the two topics that refer to "Obama supporters". And, please don't refer to policy, only to specific campaigning tactics (speeches, ads, etc...). Finally, please give just one example (the worst example, in your opinion), and please stick to verifiable things the candidate or the campaign did...nothing about bloggers, talking heads, or any other non-affiliated folks.

Originally Posted By Mr X Am I to understand that no McCain supporters have anything negative to say about Obama? Really? Heck, the Obama supporters themselves have chimed in on the parallel topic with a few gripes. In fact, quite a few, and legitimate ones too. So you right wingers who always complain that everyone shoots you down can't offer your thoughts here, where you are given a wide open forum in which you can offer your opinions on Obama? What's up? Cat got your tongue, or something?
Originally Posted By mrkthompsn I'm not a McCain supporter, but the worst Obama tactic is to criticize every single solitary thing that George Bush says, does or thinks on a minute-by-minute continuous basis. It's also wrong to correlate bad events as related to actions (or inactions) of the Bush administration. Just because water sloshes over a levee doesn't mean Bush pushes the water over. Just because a hurricane happens doesn't mean Bush caused it to appear. Another Obama tactic that I'm against is his way of saying "I voted against this war" when he had no power to vote for or against it at all.
