It is time for the Dems to fight dirty
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 01:53 PM by HEyHEY
I mean, the crap with swiftboat vets, these other new attack ads and the usual round of bullshit (near libelous) shit spewing from the Republican mouth. If we went into the sewer with them, we'd come out clean because the worst we can say about them is much worse than what they can say about us.

I'm a firm believer in winning the fight however possible. And if the Democrats have to fight dirty too, then so be it.

So let's get those gumboots on and jump down into the sewer, it'll be worth it when we win.

This is an election, it's not about participation, it's about winning and for the sake of the world we NEED to win.

2. It wouldn't need to be dirty but.....
WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK FOR ONCE! Being nice is a losing strategy! WE have so much on them that is true. Why are we holding back? America is at risk.

4. It's not about being dirty.
It's about being tough. They have to lie and fabricate stories. We just need the truth. I totally agree the Democrats need to be hardassed and relentless for once to make sure the public is aware of *'s record and his past. All we ask is for America to have a fully informed choice.

8. We need viral marketing so we can get media attention


Please print and distribute the image above. high res version available below. Put them on car windows. Hand them out on street corners. We don't need TV buys to get some attention on this issue. We have to undermine Bush's perceived strength. We all are potential disseminators of printed media. We do not need a newspapers permission or lots of money for TV commercials. We need viral grass roots marketing. We need to create a buzz. If we create a buzz with massive distribution of printed ads we will get media coverage. If these start miraculously appearing and no one knows where they are coming from it will start to get media attention. now someone create a Condi ad and an Ashcroft.

INCOMPETENCE is key

6. Let's have Obama challenge someone to a duel!!!
Jeeze, there's an inspiring motto....I've spent my whole life dreaming that someday someone would urge me to throw shit in the sewer...surprised Martin Luther King didn't make that part of "I have a dream."

"I have a dream, that someday all people will be in the sewer flinging turds at each other....."

11. If all you want to do is throw shit, the GOP has tons of it to throw
and not a single real accomplishment they can point to, or any issue where they have a viable proposal....

But it's always fun to have a shit fight...even though you end up covered in it yourself....

12. If you stand there and take the high road
You'll just be covered in shit and your opponent is clean.
They've already begun the shit tossing.

Kerry has to show some balls and fight back. His campaign needs to get tough, not dirty, though some dirt never hurt.
