Stop complimenting the bastards!! |
|
I know people have posted on this already, but I'm so sick and tired of Dem officials complimenting McInsane and Failin. You do NOT have to say, "Well, she's a good person with tremendous potential" and then say she's not ready (a la Rendell). Just say, "She's not ready and never will be, and she lies constantly, too!"
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO COUCH THEIR ATTACKS IN WUSSY LANGUAGE???

It's not like I want to gratuitously insult them. Just stop complementing them, and then explain why they are More Of The Same. Or Worse.

3. They have to do it because the support for McCain/Palin is emotional and by Low-Info voters nt |

7. I believe you are correct |
|
Any brash up-front criticism will be summarily dismissed as "McCain-Palin Hating" and the issue at hand ignored.

4. I agree. Just state the criticism. |
|
Democrats criticizing McCain or Palin shouldn't compliment them before or after.

5. They aren't allowed to. Aren't you paying attention? |
|
Can't blame our candidates for their responses and statements, they aren't allowed to be anything but complimintary to the opposition.
Complain to the media. Get them to do their fucking job, but right now even the smallest percieved slight gets our candidates in trouble with the media, while the other side is allowed to get away with verbal lynchings with nobody giving it a second thought.
The double standard is standard practice. Until it changes, this isn't changing.

6. So what? Use this to our advantage! |
|
If Biden calls Palin a liar and the media jump all over it.... well there you go! Endless news coverage of the Biden pointing out that she's a liar. What's the problem?
