Time to CRUSH Bush by the balls.
I think at this point in time the Kerry reps need step up to the plate and fight fire with fire.

Forget about defending Kerry's words or actions, right now people are out for blood, and I'd prefer it not to be Kerry's. It's time to go on offense. Time to attack Bush where it hurts. He's a coward. Call him on it. He froze, in the defining moment of his presidency, he froze. Froze like a deer in the headlights. He choked big-time.

Call them on their bluff..they want to smear Kerry, fine, but Bush is fair game. But they whine, "Kerry made his service a central part of his campaign, we have a right to question him." Well, guess what? The "war president" made his campaign all about strong leadership. His cowardice and inaction is also fair game.

Screw the long, drawn out explanations of Kerry's actions. It is time for an all-out, bloody attack on Bush. Don't let one attack on Kerry go without reciprocating. And stay on point for god's sake. Bush, our "war president", our "strong leader", was a coward who sat frozen in his chair while America was under attack. In the defining moment of his presidency he choked under the pressure, big-time. He didn't lead, he showed cowardice, not leadership. Is this the man you want in the White House for 4 more years?

Turn it around back on them. Swift Boat Vets = Bush Froze on 9/11. Kerry's senate record = Bush vacation's while Al Qaeda plans attacks. See what I'm getting at? Hoist them on their own petard. It's that simple.

1. It's hard to crush somebody's balls, when they don't have none.

3. I second the motion!
But I think you're preaching to the choir, here. I think almost all DU'ers would love to go for *'s throat (or gonads, whichever is more lethal). :kick:

4. absolutely - fight rabies with rabies
It's disgusting but the only thing that will make them back down is to play every bit as dirty as they do.

6. Kerry campaign needs new, better spokespersons on TV...
All I see is Donna Brazil. Her voice doesn't carry and she's always placed to debate against a bimbo who right out flattens her. They needed Ann Richards, Al Sharpton, Caroline Kennedy, etc.

I wish if they would hire Jon DuPre ex-newsman of AZ. He was fired by Fox, and appears on Outfoxed, because he would not comply with Fox GOP lies. These are the people to seek.

If Kerry's numbers go down, we'll never recover. They already have that slime shameless Bob Dole attacking Kerry.

11. Sad isn't it.
But Bush has had the upper hand long enough. It's time to destroy him.

20. I really do not see how....
Kerry can effectively destroy Bush. Bush has the media on his side for the most part...they are never going to give a Kerry attack any legs like they are doing for the Swift Boat Liars for Bush.....

12. Poster on Yahoo


You know, a funny thing happened last month
when the Swift Boat Ads came out... the media
company running the ads quickly removed ALL contact information from their site!!!

Well... I guess they are feeling comfy now and figure that all is forgotten... they have put the contact information back up! Here it is.

If you would like to call a swift boat veteran for truth, below are some names, addresses and phone numbers. I'm not sure what to say to these folks - perhaps something like:

Are you aware that your name is listed publicly on the s.b.v.f.t. website?

Do you believe that you are helping to degrade american political dialogue by resorting to unfounfded personal attacks?

Isn't what you are doing now- attacking JK for political reasons in order to help a draft dodger worse than what you are accusing Kerry of?

Is it public knowledge in your local community that you are a member of this group?

Would it be okay if I called your local news outlets and gave them your name?

They asked for the media spotlight, lets give it to them.

14. Time to again question the deserter on his record?
This whole thing has taken the shadow of doubt concerning the awol bush and cast it on Kerry.

At least Kerry was there.

15. Time to CRUSH Bush by the balls.
if you can find them.

It is rumored that the Fuhrer had only one. Seeing as how the Fuhrer actually served in combat, I would guess Bush has none.

17. Start digging up as much dirt as possible
on each and every Smearboat asswipe and make it all public! Can Teresa Heinz Kerry use her money for private investigators and get some slime on these people or does that violate campaign finance laws? If she does it independently of the Kerry campaign...as a private investigation for her private use, is that legal? Can SHE use any info they get by buying TV time for her own personal use...to help her HUSBAND...not the presidential candidate?

19. It's all about Bush.
Don't attack the SBLiars. They are a speck of flyshit on the wall.

Bush is a fucking coward. He hides behind mommy, rove, cheney, and now the SBLiars.

Call him on it.

Bush is a Coward
Bush is a Coward
Bush is a Coward
Bush is a Coward

Over and over again until people can't think of Bush without also thinking coward.

18. This has to come from the PAC's.
Kerry has sworn not to mudsling. So I think we have to do it for him. I agree with you, we need to call more attention to the Bush vacation record. We need to call more attention to the time it took to mobilize in Afghanistan (compared to the speed with which we mobilized when North Korea attacked South Korea - 24 hours).

Not sure we need to talk about Bush reading "My Pet Goat"... that might go too far... but yes, we need to hit hard where it hurts.

I also agree that Kerry calling out Bush on the overtime issue is going to be VERY interesting.

I, for one, like having comp time... but most people I know are desperate for overtime pay, and Bush's new law is going to cut some folks off right at the cajones.
