Since some people believe not smearing the Repubs makes us "weak."

[BreweryYardRat]

The Republicans' own voting records, administrative fuck-ups, statements, political ties, and positions -- if we bring them to the forefront of public awareness and KEEP THEM THERE -- are more damaging to them than any smear we could ever put together if we had a thousand years to think it up.

All we've got to do is KEEP BEATING THEM OVER THE FUCKING HEAD WITH THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND THEIR OWN WORDS, to the point that even the corporate-owned media can't drown the truth out.

Examples (off the top of my head!):

FACT: BushCo has not caught bin Laden AFTER SEVEN YEARS, and it was their negligence, blind rabid partisanship, and incompetence that allowed 9/11 to happen IN THE FIRST PLACE!

FACT: Karl Rove and his proteges in the Bush campaign slandered John McCain in South Carolina in 2000, claiming McCain's adopted daughter from Bangladesh was McCain's illegitimate child with a prostitute. Now McCain is hiring the same people to run his own campaign. If he's such a fucking maverick, why is he cozying up to the slimeballs who grossly insulted HIS KID?!

FACT: Despite using veteran's benefits/medical care when he returned from being tortured in Vietnam, McCain has been VOTING AGAINST VET BENEFITS/MEDICAL CARE FOR YEARS. Lovely attitude there, John-boy! "Fuck you guys, I got mine!"

FACT: New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina. I don't think there's an exact count on the number of people who died YET, the place is still a shambles, people are still displaced from their homes, and it's been THREE FUCKING YEARS!

FACT: Sarah Palin has ties to "Christian" Dominionist groups, who are against EVERYTHING THIS COUNTRY STANDS FOR!

FACT: Sarah Palin's husband was a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which advocated ALASKA SECEDING FROM THE U.S.! Palin herself gave a speech at the AIP's most recent convention, telling them to "keep up the good work!"

2. You fight mud with mud. You battle smears with your own smear.

The wingnuts know how to fight dirty.......and that's why they won the last 2 POTUS elections. Play nice once you won
