Focusing on the future McCain
I think its time was as a group, get started at pointing out the mistake electing John McCain would be. I have an idea on what I want to do, but I need help. Lacking the skills programs and in many cases the time to do what I want. I just have these idea’s I want to see put out there.
It started when I watched the news and saw McCain speak. His words made me outraged, and from there the next few days my mind was set afire. “Like most Americans, I go see my doctor fairly frequently” Simple words but they made me angry. This was not most Americans. This gave me an idea of a video to be posted, then a series of videos, then more ideas. Things I don’t have a talent to make.
I think we need to sell McCain as someone who won’t be a good president. Now I’m not talking about outright attack videos, using his words and actions to show people how he won’t work.
This is my original idea, a video. Opening shot a back screen with the words john McCain fading in. Sometimes I see it as silent, others I here McCain’s words declaring his desire or goal to be president. Next is the video clip where he says, “Like most Americans, I go and see my doctor fairly frequently.” Next a black screen again Statistics come into view maybe the number of uninsured in the US and maybe the number of Americans who make their regular checkups. Then a picture of McCain not a flattering picture but not the worst one where you can see his heat, his anger, a little bit scary. While this picture is showing McCain’s audio from the video clip would play again. Then the final words on the black screen.
John McCain
Out of touch
With
America

This was my first Idea, I came up with other video idea’s. McCain’s words on Iraq, McCain just in one of his angry rants. Same format same ending. It is important to get this idea into peoples minds.
I had some other Idea’s, one that clearly must be labeled comedy.
(Since McCain’s been around the price of gas has increased $x.xx. Since McCain’s been around the price of a gallon of milk has increased $x.xx. Can we really continue this trend?)

I have other ideas but just don’t have the technical skills to make them happen, I want to get our movement forward, I want us to go after the target that will matter and show people why McCain is out of touch with America.

1. I really don't think we have much to worry about

The campaign has NOT even begun but when it does we will see the GOP has an old, frail, cancer stricken, corrupt pol as their standard bearer. The war and national security is getting less important as the economy and gas prices takes center stage. Can you see how a debate will look with Obama vs. McCain? It will be a bad repeat of Kennedy vs. Nixon. Also remember all the truly weirdo sound bites McCain has uttered like Bomb...Bomb Iran, 100 years in Iraq and endless wars just to name a few. When you add all this up we have little to worry about.
