This is an all out WAR. We can't afford to be nice or polite
Sorry, but being nice and polite is what loses elections. This is an all-out war, and we must be prepared to do whatever it takes to win. We simply cannot afford 4 more years of Bush policies, or god forbid a Palin presidency because we were too afraid to go for the jugular. Make no mistake, the GOP will be slinging as much mud as they can possibly find, even manufacturing bullshit stories (ie the 'Obama is a closet Muslim').

If a candidate chooses to involve their family in the campaign, then their family is fair game. Anyone recall the vicious right-wing attacks against Michelle Obama? Are we supposed to ignore the fact that Palin chooses to use her family to promote her "family values"? Are we supposed to overlook the fact that Palin's plan for birth control is to only allow abstinence teaching, while her own daughter gets herself knocked up? Are we supposed to believe that her daughter "chose" to keep her baby when Palin is so ardently anti-choice? Are we supposed to look the other way when Cindy McCain hurls insults at us? The GOP loves to brag about McCain's character, but what kind of man dumps his wife after she is horribly disfigured in a car accident? Oh, that's right, he was a fucking POW, so that excuses everything. Bullshit. We need to hammer these points home!

We need to continue digging for as much dirt as we can on these idiots. There's already so much to hit them with - Keating 5, Iraq, Katrina, Troopergate, the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie, etc - but there's still bound to be more.

We can't let up. The stakes are far too high!

2. the worst thing we can do is go all liberal wussy and apologetic, as usual
that is the absolute worst characteristic of Democratic politicians. They say something true, the republo-fascists cry foul, and the Democrats waffle or apologize. Like Obama said, this election is a Chicago knife-fight, and he should bring a gun.

6. I agree
Why isn't anyone saying anything about Mccain this so called great cristian man who had multiple affairs one his first wife who was handicapped from a car wreck. Then left her for a younger rich women he met in a bar. What class he has even Reagan hated the man. This is really a guy I trust and if women are voting for him because of the snow queen they should really check there morals. God I wish I was in a Veitnam prison camp I guess you get to be president if you spend some time there.
