What we need to do: fight as dirty as the Republicans
We need our own shadowy organizations spreading rumors, sending out questionable fliers, and push polling evangelicals.

Can you imagine if we had organized a push poll, asking Evangelicals:

Would you be more or less likely to support Bush if you knew that he paid for an abortion in the 1970?

How will you feel when Bush drafts your daughters into military service in Iraq?

etc.

We need to stop being so fair and playing by the rules.

2. No. That will not help
We need to be strong, courageous, unrelenting and smart, but not dirty.

I have no problem using dirty tricks to suppress the evangelical vote

4. Yes!!! I agree and I've mentioned this elsewhere.
Kerry ran a campaign for a presidential election and he did an excellent job. But Rove ran a propaganda operation to help prop-up and continue the coup that took place in 2000. Two entirely different games. The fraud-denial around here makes me seriously worry if we will ever be able to compete.

5. I made notes about some of the republican dirty tricks
I'll file them away to use another day. But I know one thing -- I won't be as passive in 2008.
