I Shouldn't Be Advocating Stuff Like This....but then I'm an Evil DUer.... |
|
I really shouldn't be even thinking this way--but purity was never my strong suit. Was reading Franken's book today. Was reading the part about the absolute crap Bush pulled on McCain in South Carolina. This is where he used 'push polls'; i.e., they would call up and ask people things like: if you knew that McCain's black daughter isn't adopted but from an illicit affair with a black, would you tend to vote for him or not?? Al told about the literal band of professional liars that run repuke campaigns and advise the administration on how to lie. But he points out that the Dems have basically no one like this--he said the couple we have "chase their own tails and sniff each other's butts" but are ineffective. So that got me thinking.
Two things as a backdrop here first: 1) Bush's numbers are plummeting and people are getting right sick of the lying bastard (good time to keep attacking with whatever you have); 2) Of course, it is a given that they won't change for this election but will do this crap to our nominee---however, they can't start now because if they did this to 10 people it would become obvious how they operate--therefore, striking now as a pre-emptive blow (I learned that tactic from this administration)would be a smart tactic.
So maybe (I'm not suggesting this you know--cough, cough)the DNC and the boys would like to start doing a little planting and push polling themselves with a question like: If you saw the evidence that Bush's weekly retreats to Camp David or Crawford are for the purpose of being able to booze it up out of the public eye, would your opinion of Pres. Bush change?? I tell you, it would be the final nail in his political coffin. A little suggestion here, a little push there and his numbers would be in the 20's.

Basically you start running advertising examing the way the Bush machine lies about their opponents. This 'innoculate' you from the inevitable attack.

8. Actually, what is most devestating to Bush |
|
is the truth. I just received Franken's book. Haven't read it yet. But facts like the dirty tricks against McCain NEED TO GET PUBLICIZED! Americans respect McCain....whatever their politics. I respect McCain. He was a POW....how dare AWOL Bush use such lowlife treachery against this man. This needs to be circulated...circulated...circulated. Shows the real Bush as opposed to this "honorable" cowboy Rove has been pushing.

9. Actually, it might even be done in a similar manner using the TRUTH... |
|
"If you were given proof that Bush flat out lied about Iraq's supposed *, would you support him?" * substitute as desired :
"attempt to buy uranium from Niger"
"possession of nuclear/biological/chemical weapons"
"imminent threat to the U.S" etc.

10. there is no reason to do this... just tell the truth |
|
that is ugly enough in this case. The repugs use cheap tactics like that because they know that their ideology cannot survive the light of day.

11. exactly. They need to lie. We need to get the truth out. |
|
The truth will set you free, and it will set this country free from the Bush cabal.
Unfortunately the media whores (Lou Dobbs just got me so fucking mad I wanted to scream at the TV) are doing their jobs as mouthpieces for the administration.
It's just weird.

12. "Why the President has been tooting his horn again!" |
|
Whenever anyone we meet wonders where Bush has been or what he's been up to or why he seems to be generally like such a brain-dead moron, we simply make the "coke-up-the-nose" gesture at them.
