This is what I gleaned from pieces of speeches and, it frankly, worries me. We are going to run on jobs, economy, healthcare, education, etc. Our "tone" is to be upbeat, promising, uplifting. (note: Kerry did say something about answering their charges--don't know if that means forcefully or with job/economy, etc. talk). Wellll.....
There's a political science fundamental that says: If an incumbent is running for re-election in a presidential election and is voted out, the people DID NOT vote FOR the opponent (and his visions, promises, ideas) BUT voted AGAINST the incumbent (as in had it up to their butt with the bastard). Thus, please don't tell me we are not going to use three years worth of examples we can sling right into this crime syndicate's teeth!! Please tell me that we will alternate "nice ads" with "attack ads". Please tell me that the dodging in the last couple weeks of Dem talking heads about 9/11/Iraq etc. and morphing quickly to jobs, economy, etc. is not going to be our ploy until November. Please don't tell me that the party thought those attacks on Bush were great to get the primary voters all steamed up and now are going back to the same ineffective crap we have seen for 3 long years. Yes, there are attacks within the subjects of jobs, economy, etc. to be lobbed against Bush and we will (his stinking tax cuts, for example). But we need to destroy the only thing he can run on: his so-called integrity (barf) and brilliant strong leadership in the face of war (the one he created---double barf). Let the dogs out....and soon.
