Dem leaders have got to stop praising Sarah Palin. It's fucking insane.

[cali]

Do you hear repuke leaders praising Obama or Biden? Of course not. it's all slash and burn, all the time. But Obama and Biden and Dean and others are constantly praising Palin. Yeah, they ususally use that to seque into some mild criticism- and yes, saying that Palin sounded like Cheney is mild.

The repukes know to simply stay on the attack. they keep it simple and go for the jugular. they lie. and our team doesn't even have to lie. they can attack using the truth.

it's quite simple: they need to be politically destroyed. decimated. Particularly Palin as the rallying point and figurehead.

this ticket presents a clear and present danger.

1. Biden needs to KICK HER ASS BACK INTO THE 20TH CENTURY!

Reid, Kerry, ALL SURROGATES ON DECK! If you love this
Republic, IT'S TIME TO FIGHT FOR IT.

Otherwise, you (and ALL OF US) may wake up this November
in a THEOCRACY. Mark my words ...

2. I agree

Attack her positions, attack her record, attack where she wants to take this country. Let the Repukes praise her.

We aren't going to win by being nice.

3. I don't understand why we pay them complements...

You don't have to personally insult them. But likewise there's no reason to say anything positive about them. Even if you think it's true, it's not our job. Our job is to point out why voters should not vote for them.

4. the tactic is a business one - start with something nice when you are

going to criticize someone so they are off guard and will hear you

5. They may know that she will self destruct without any effort from

them. These people have run the best organized campaign of my lifetime and I'm 61. Do you really think they don't have sources at the National Enquirer and at the Alaska Statehouse?

6. Agreed. It's as though DEM pols think they're gonna get some kind...

.... of brownie points in some insane afterlife.

This election is too important to indulge that sort of delusional thinking. There is little good to be said about either McCain or Palin. And what good there is... let *them* say it.

7. If Obama is elected President

It won't let up then. It will be constant attacks, just like the last few Clinton years.

We are just going to be forced to give up our civility.
