On the one hand, I admire Kerry's rapid response team and the fact that he's taking every opportunity to display a bit of righteous indignation. But on the other hand, we're always playing on the R's field - answering *their* questions, questions that have arisen due to *their* screw-ups.
What if we took a different tact?
What if the Dem strategy was to get totally out of the way and allow the R's to implode? What if there was no imagined check on the folly of the Rs? If the war and the economy are bad now, imagine what they'll be like by October!
Is it possible that by presenting counter-arguments to the constant barrage of RW spin, we are being viewed by Joe Six Pak as nothing but LW spinners who are just as responsible and culpable for bush's mistakes as is bush?
So, the Rs try to make an issue out of Kerry's medals. Rather than engaging the *issue,* what if Kerry's response was "whatever. I want to talk about creating jobs." When asked about what he'd do differently in Iraq, what if Kerry said, "whatever. I sure wouldn't do what bush is doing. We'll discuss that during the debates."
I'm sure that this is a horse shit strategy, but the other strategies aren't exactly kicking ass (why isn't JK up by 30 points?), so, why not?
What if the single message was "bush must go, never mind the specifics on why, he just must go," rather than our usual laundry list of complaints? What if the strategy was, "call me when you've had enough of these losers and then - and only then - I'll tell you how I'm going to fix things?"
OK. Flame away!!
