Well, MtG, you've got a problem assuming Bush also lacks integrity. (But where is there evidence of this?) If I were you, I would sit this one out or vote Libertarian, Green or whatever strikes your fancy. Nader at least is personally honest, I think. |
Being a draft dodger in all but name, being a sponge off daddy's connections virtually his entire life, being an arrogant, entitled, self-righteous little ***** is good enough for me.
Cromwell and Khomeini had integrity too, is that supposed to be a ringing endorsement?
I could probably sit this one out, since Kerry will stomp Bush's ass in California and everyone knows it, but instead, I'm a volunteer for the Kerry campaign. And with some work I may have coming up, I might just be able to squeak by the registration deadline and vote in another state where my vote has more effect.

I think Bush Team is going at the wrong target in Kerry. I think there are high value targets to attack, and they are just going at the wrong ones. The go after his military service, which isn't a good idea, no matter how you look at it, it just ends up backfiring at the end. It's like a 300 pound man calling 250 pound man fat. While you might be making a point that is based on a fact, it makes you look even more what you're claiming the other one to be, and since you started it, it's like a double mistake.
So, they should instead attack ONLY on things their own base is clear. This way the criticism can't be countered so easy.
I feel, that because of this failure in the strategy, I can't say the the people making the shots are really paying attention, and thus Bush should fire them all and get the second team in to make waves.
The flipflop issue is good to attack. Which they do. But they're overdoing it already. They should attack the plans about Kerry going after some businesses, like medical companies, and no doubt the oil business. I mean, while his theme is good, independent of mideast oil and especially Saudi Arabia, remembering that Saudi investors have so much money in the US, do you really want to wage a big confrontation with them? I don't think so. You might make some distance, but you still have to kiss some butts to keep the money in.
And about the other businesses, where Kerry says he will make businesses more responsible for things, while this might be a good idea, they should attack and claim he will alienate big businesses and while he would say he wants to keep the jobs in the US instead of other countries, the exact opposite will happen because of his hostile policies. That would be a good claim, and good attack. And about the rest of the stuff, they should try to claim it's impossible to do and then 'prove' why it is impossible, and that in fact it would hurt the country because they are not in touch with reality and would try them out.
And then finally, they should go strong on their own issues and stop attacking his persona, and claim the high moral grounds, while attacking his issues all the time.
I think it would work way better than this current strategy. Hell, I know it would work better. So I have to conclude that the strategists working for his team are incompetent, and don't want to work after hours so they just go with the easy one, attacking the persona and the too obvious ones which ends up just backfiring anyway, doing more damage than good.
