14. Ooo Oooo Oooo, Follow-up points: Timing, Accuracy, Snopes and a Web Page (+URL)
Let's make sure we time the email right. I don't want McCain getting replaced at the GOP Convention! :rofl:... but seriously, let's wait until just after the Convention to release it so it is 1. fresh in people's mind and 2. takes away any momentum.

Also, the email must be extremely accurate. So accurate that we get a blessing from Snopes on it.

Furthermore, we should setup a web-page with the same list of lies but with richer content (the email can reference the web site).

Finally, the email should have RW-pull or something that traps a RWer into reading it. For example, the Subject line should be: "Bill Clinton was Impeached for Lying To The Nation" and that's it. The body of the message should start with something every right winger will be thinking "Amen" until he gets past the first paragraph. For example:

America is a Nation that loves the truth. But so many politicians believe in skirting the truth. Our system of justice is founded on the principle that people must tell the truth or they will pay a price for it. Even the President is not protected against lying. Bill Clinton was Impeached, and although he was not convicted in the Senate for lying, it did lead to the end of the Democratic hold on the White House. And now we are faced with an election where a candidate finds that the truth about his character and even his positions on the issues is not important...

etc.. This is a rush job, but you get the idea... RW lead-in that says everything RWers want to hear.

We'll use the Truth as our Flag Lapel Pin... except this time it will be as accurate as it is damaging.
