Poll question: Which of these 7 deadly sins should the Dems use against Bush?
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 09:21 PM by TruthIsAll
To all mediawhores and DINO's: BushCo's Seven Deadly sins..

Here is why hating Bush is a winning strategy..

Conventional wisdom says don't go negative, the voters don't like that. The CW is wrong. There is pent-up frustration that the media has protected Bush. Dean and Clark seem to realize that only by uncovering the scab that is BushCo, will the wounds ever begin to heal. It would be a positive strategy to go negative.

Remember Willie Horton in '88?
Remember Paula Jones in '92?
Remember Vince Foster in '96?
Remember Diebold/Volusia County in '00?

We can no longer ignore the obvious.
If we don't go negative now, then we may as well forget it.

It's the Stolen Elections, stupid!

1. Its like being a kid in a candy store with a fistfull of fifties
how do you choose among so many delicious treats?

Of course, the danger is gorging yourself on so much of 'em that you wind up puking on your own shoes.

We should pick two or three issues at most and hammer, hammer, hammer them home until people will hear them in their dreams.

3. This is an important question
And ultimatly, very frustrating. Without fail, when a candidate uses an issue for a news cycle or two, you will hear "why doesn't so and so focus more on (any of the other issues *not* heavily pushed)?"

There is also the fact that the "message" has to be pointed, consolidated (simple- we're dealing with Americans) and POSITIVE.

4. Focus on the "Bush Knew"...
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 09:19 PM by RBHam
If the truth behind 9-11 comes out, nothing else matters.
In the end, it's the whole basis for BushCo's reign of terror.
He plays that 9-11 card over and over, in any circumstance.
And he gets away with it, over and over.

And I have been saying this since before the 2002 election debacle,
I was ignored and ridiculed then.

But it's the only way. Elsewise, say good bye to the country you once knew. Amerikka beckons with her titanium encased nuclear finger.

Thetruth is out there, you just have to click.

7. Kill the messengers! pull the attack dogs' teeth! as well as hit Bush
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 11:09 PM by Turkw
We need to go after the people who repeat the lies and attacks, again and again. Other wise the Democratic candidate's message will be drowned out in the media, as the "liberal" press follows the pack.

9. It's the GREED stupid.
Greed begets the lies,the arrogance the desire for control and domination.
Greed is growth and growth for our own sake,must slow down or better yet stop and reverse!
But greedy people who can NEVEr have enough can't stop,so something has to stop them,be it workers,the world ecology collapsing,riots or thier freinds who may have a shred of humanity,exposing their deeds to the exploited,lied to,sick,confused,overworked,over stressed,suffering public still tryiong to pull those bootstraps the born wealthy who tell them they are inferior every waking moment never had to..

10. our weapon is Bush himself
just show him talking. That's all you gotta do.

The best move-on ads I saw were the ones where they simply compiled clips of Bush lying on television.

The most damning thing is right there.
