Time to get off our collective asses: McCain: 'The luckiest man alive'

[Boz]

Keep up the battle for the candidacy, no problem, but the Democrats have got to start hitting the warmonger hard and in charge too.


He supports an unpopular war. His fundraising lags. The voters want change, and he's from the party in power. Now, Republican insiders are sniping at his campaign.

Where does all that leave McCain, seven months before the election? According to the latest polls, he is essentially running even with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Wake up, we have two fronts in this challenge, and one is much more pressing then the sideshow of who is going to kick his ass.

It needs to start now no matter who, and better yet WE HAVE TWO AGAINST ONE, they both should be hitting him NOW.

1. Thank you, we should...

...ask that a new forum be started so we can post stuff about McCain and not disturb the GD:Pers.
I tried to discuss this the other day and it got no traction.

I'm with you on this.

2. All they have to do is expose his record

1. Against Head Start
2. Against abortion, even if the life of the woman is at stake
3. For open ended presence in Iraq
4. For lower taxes, but not explaining how to pay for the war
5. He is for mandatory two year service to the U.S. He doesn't call it a draft, but that is what it is
6. He says he is against torture, yet voted for waterboarding, and cluster bombing in civilian areas

I could go on, but all one has to do is examine his voting record

3. We should let the process play out.

4. Red state campaign idea

One way to hit hard is to ask people in states that have voted Republican for the past few elections What has voting Republican for the last 28 years gotten you?

Make it real personal, put THEM on the defensive. Ask them if voting Republican helped Mom or Dad with their cancer, or did they get to put them in a box quicker.

I repeat, What has voting Republican for the last 28 years gotten you?

Time to bring back St. Ronnie's 'misery index' and shove it in their face: What has voting Republican for the last 28 years gotten you?

This would be a great bumper sticker for tooling around the Midwest and Rocky Mountain states. While filling up at the gas station, ask the guy at the other pump if that Bush tax cut has paid for his gasoline yet.

Again, What has voting Republican for the last 28 years gotten you?

5. Obama camp- "John McCain is not a warmonger,"

"and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged."

6. While I agree with the rhetoric, The man is a thrid generation war LIFER, his family has known

Nothing but war and military, he was born military, he lived war and frames everything with in a war context, military budgets and a lifetime future of war.

Obamas discussion and reflection are about his political policies.

My calling John McCain war mongering is not about his policies, it is a direct commentary on his LIFESTYLE,
by definition his life and his family life and his his relative tree is that of a WARMONGER

7. He will get his in due time... we must first slay this pesky Hillary

monster as quick as possible then we can turn our guns on the old war monger, I don't think he'll be nearly as tough as Hillary.

8. We hit him hard at our website, www.rejectmccain.com

I agree, both candidates should be hitting him, but they won't; the primary's a popularity contest, and for every 1 shot they take at McCain, they take 10 at each other.
