1. Here you go:

"I don't think you ever kill any political party. Political parties kill themselves, or are killed, not by the other political party but by their failure to adapt to new circumstances. But do you weaken a political party, either by turning what they see as assets into liabilities, and/or by taking issues they consider to be theirs, and raiding them?" The thought brought to his round, unlined, guileless face a boyish look of pure delight. "Absolutely!"

Therein is the lesson for today.

2. Adapt to what?

what really happened in this country over the swift boat liars campaign? We need a thorough analysis because that is where adapting will take us.

Take a centerpiece of a man's life, one that is held in esteem by the country; construct lies to neutralize its value in the public's eye; repeat the lies through every media outlet (get free air time this way); exaggerate the lies until the candidate appears pathological and dishonest; and turn a man's honorable life experience into a perceived humiliation.
