Why not use our brains and start "Hiliarizing" McCain, Frist, etc.??

Do you see what's happening? We might as well not show up for '08 if we don't get a grasp on it.

There are 4-5 repub probable '08 candidates whose names/faces the media makes certain is in front of us at least every 10 days or more. They are covered for a 'stance they took', or some 'great pronouncement they made', etc.

On our side, they covered Biden for about 24 hours when he announced and have buried him. BUT AHAAAA.....we do have coverage!!! For months they have done more than tell us that Hilary will be our nominee; they make sure that every time they spew her name they make snide remarks, slander her, spit on her, deride her.

In a word, they are drumming it into the people's minds 3 years in advance that "republicans are the good solid folk" and "dems are loser clowns with people like that Clinton bitch". There is no way in hell that in a few short months in '08 we can sell whatever brilliant nominee we come up with and slap down their nominee to size. He (whichever one of the bunch they chose) will be bigger than life by then.

Therefore, may I suggest we begin to destroy each of them right now. Example McCain: start harping on his recurring cancers and his advanced age of 70 when he runs OR do what Bush did to him and have the Swift Boat Liars type question his service and whether he was a sell out to the Viet Cong (that's exactly what Bush smeared around about him). With Frist, pull out the garbage of his families utter criminal rip off of Medicare to a few hundred million with only having to pay back pennies (they all should be in jail). Anyway, you get my drift?? Yep, it's filthy politics BUT they are already doing that to Hilary which in turn is an attempt to shove the whole Dem Party's face into a bucket of swill.

If we are going to defeat them in '08, every one of their "wanna-be's" has to be discredited on a day in and day out basis and on shakey ground so that the big shots don't know who to give their money to. We need to force them to go to their second and third strings to get a candidate. If we don't attack these individuals for 3 years, any one of them is going to walk all over our candidate's face.

1. John Oneill set up wintersoldier.com to spread lies about Kerry EARLY on

before their book and before the primaries even.

They wanted to spread disinfo that appeared to be from the wintersoldier group itself.

I remember some of the early battles here during the primaries when even some DUers were duped into spreading his lies in their efforts to boost their candidate.

I have been pushing the McCain angle where he helped cover up for Rove's traitorous outing of a CIA agent - McCain sides with Rove and also used the Senate Intel Report to attack Wilson in the media when asked to comment about the case.

I think those clips of him defending Rove and attacking Wilson with lies should be preserved to run the liar down later.

2. blm--I want the Dems to do stuff NOW......I swear that later is too late

The media is presenting these various repubs as down to earth, solid, viable, blah, blah. The only thing they are pushing on the Dem side is: Hilary/witch/Dems/losers. No matter who we select, there is going to be a three year name recognition and build up of these repubs so that they just walk right into the Oval Office as George leaves. We need to butcher them now in the eyes of the public so that republican fund raisers become a "scratch the head...who the hell will sell" confused mess. Don't let any of them build up any steam. Seek and destroy NOW otherwise we will just blow our own foot off as usual (too little, too late).

3. I agree....When I said later, I meant in the fall when Fitzgerald's report

comes out.
