10. He already knows the four letter word that starts with F and ends with K
But I bet he'll be having real trouble learning a word as difficult as "fact"

4. This is what Kerry-Edwards campaign should be doing all the time!
In no subtle way, make it abundantly clear that Bush-Cheney cartel are paramount liars and dissemblers in all they put out to the media.

5. They are, and it is our job to spread the word.
The Kerry campaign can't force the media to report or follow up on their press releases, so it is our job to make sure that the message is not lost.

Check: http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/releases

daily, and use that for inspiration for your letters to the editor, blogging, etc....

11. Exactly, Mazzaro!---you don't have to have Kerry or Edwards get into
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 01:15 PM by Gloria
the mosh pit...BUT you DO have to keep hammering that you know the game they're playing and remind the public that these creeps are liars and also NEGATIVE in just this way.....digs, over and over again....

What Edwards did on that front porch, reminding about the negativity was also good and got press because it was part of a campaign story....

Kerry himself warned of the negativity in his convention speech....then, there was about two weeks of battering without much response. This response (and Edwards' the other day) are exactly what has to be done consistently at every possible chance, preferably at events that will get coverage instead of "press releases"....Turn it all back on them and remind voters what sleazeballs B/C are!!

I hope this turns up in his VFW speech! It will be a perfect opportunity...

7. that is a fantastic press release
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 12:54 PM by stellanoir
If it gets absolutely no coverage tonight on the evening news in shadow of the gripping Kobe, Laci, Charley, Jacko, Olympic coverage I'll puke.

No offense to the victims of Charley, or the talented Olympians but damn, Kerry can barely get on the network news these days and it drives me bananas.

Thank g-d for the internet.

8. I would love to see the slogan
"George Bush: He has to lie about John Kerry because he can't
tell the truth about himself"
