Reply #6: Combativeness and the 24 / 7 campaign ... [View All]

the following is an excerpt from my post of about a week ago ... it's nice to see that the Democratic Party is hanging on my every word ... you can read the full thread ==> right here ...

the topic within the thread was titled: Key Elements Needed to Regain a Democratic Majority

1. Combativeness:

Democrats got active this year ... a great sleeping giant has finally started to awaken ... we have a large active base from across the political spectrum ... it's not just lefties; it's not just DLC'ers ... we came together to fight as a team ... this energy needs to be sustained through the mid-term elections and on into 2008 ... the only way to do this is to give us a steady diet of red meat ... the last thing we need to see on our TV's is democrats enabling the neo-con agenda ... democrats need to fight against bush on each and every issue ... standing together "as Americans" is not what we want to hear while we're seeing America flushed down the toilet by the right-wing ... we need to see our team on the field 24/7 ...

3. The Campaign:

the campaign needs to run 24/7 starting right now ... this really overlaps with the combativeness section above ... we need our guys on TV, radio, newspapers everyday ... they need to be a real opposition force ... they need to be both thoughtful and reasonable, but always combative ... everything, EVERYTHING, that bush is doing is wrong ... there is no longer any room for compromise ... we need to object to the neo-con agenda in the most forceful terms ... the status quo has got to go ... the status quo has been that republicans and their hundred media hitmen attack us everyday and we appear on TV, now and then, thoughtfully reflecting on policy ... this approach lacks passion and doesn't reach voters ... it conveys a lack of commitment to our beliefs ... it's wishy-washy ... to win the hearts and minds of voters, we need our spokespeople to be combative, confident, clear, sharp, consistent, articulate and forceful ... the campaign needs to be fought everyday in every media outlet ... waiting until elections roll around is not the way to win ...
