Kerry campaign needs to flood media with "We will win and they will lose."
Need to emphasize Kerry is stronger and better than Bush in war on terror. Kerry can be a real b*ll buster when it comes to terrorists.

See other thread on Republican brother-in-law.

For many people this is a litmus test, one-issue election. Different issues for different people.

For many men - it's a manliness issue, for lack of a better word. A pride issue. Which candidate can trash-talk terrorists the best on the world stage, thereby defending America's honor?

I'm not going to go into how grossly flawed that is. I'm just saying -- that's the "single issue" for many voters.

And of course it is true that Kerry is the only candidate with any hope of winning the war on terror.

So Kerry should start really trash-talking the terrorists. Repeatedly - accuse Bush of being weak on terror because by comparison Kerry is going to hit those terrorists so hard....don't even have to say how. Only needs to be as good as a beer commercial.

1. Then flood with ads showing Bush to be a spoiled wealthy frat boy
as far from middle-class values as possible

2. beat it into there heads that Kerry is a great closer
Kerry is a great closer, he wins, he always wins

repeat, over and over again

eventually they'll believe, and it'll be reflected in the polls.

5. Look the media is not going to broadcast Kerry's message no matter what.
It doesn't matter what Kerry says or does, the media is not going to help.

6. Yes they will
When Kerry over takes the bounce and they start ragging on * and laughing at the fact that he wants to "debate the debate" They should just laugh at him and say they find it incredulous, with the nation begging for information they want to debate the debate and laugh some more.

7. The corporate media is totally on Bush's side. Don't fool yourself
into thinking some element of 'fairness' or obligation to inform the public will enter into it.

11. This is the biggest problem facing this country and
Kerry and the dems had better figure out a way to make the media SOMEHOW work for them. Use the media's weaknesses, use reverse psychology, something.

The swift-boat liar thing never should have gotten an ounce of publicity, but the media HANDED it to those assholes.

If the media was doing its job, Bush would be in jail by now.

They have failed to do their jobs and tell the truth about Bush. If people knew the truth about Bush, they would be outraged and he would be impeached and indicted, along with the rest of his gangsters.

The American people are starving for the truth, but the media isn't giving it to them. That's why F/911 made over a hundred million fucking dollars.

Your average schmuck thinks they hear the truth on CNN. Right now they're hearing "the american people want Bush and Kerry is a loser". That is simply NOT true.

13. Obviously they are buying ad time
and obviously it would be moronic to do so on Rush's show.

8. What has Bush done to protect us?
Kerry needs to slam Bush hard on this. Airport security seems to be it. We have had huge intelligence failures according to Bush Co. but they have done zero to deal with it. Chemical plants are not protected. No increased port security. I do not understand why Bush can even claim to be tough on terror. What exactly has he done?

12. Hm, well he failed in a pretty major way on 9/11
Something that amazes me more people don't hold him accountable for.

Instead, he's SOOOOO proud of it!

WHY the FUCK is Bush PROUD of 9/11?????

Cuz he fucking did it, that's why.
