Today the press is full of stories concerning Obama's falling polling numbers. The right wing outlets are having a great time blasting our candidate for his 'failures' as a politician. However here at MYDD we seem to be content to let them run with it with little or no objection from us. I perused the diaries this morning and don't see even one diary concerning our next play in countering this propaganda. It seems as if we're content to simply stick our heads in the sand and hope that them bad mens go way!
This is not the way to win, folks. This is not the way to get Obama elected.
It's time for us to stand up to these thugs and tell it like it is. Hillary supporters, Obama supporters, we're ALL democrats, thus we're all hated by the right wing smear machine.
So what if Obama is down five points in some poll done by a wellknown right winger? Tomorrow he will be up again. But what can we do in the meantime? How can we help?
We must call attention to the fact that McCain is OLD. Old and unbalanced. His years as a POW are years we need to investigate. Did he help the enemy? Did he inform? Were there any embarrassing sexual trysts while imprisoned? Did the he drop napalm on unarmed civilians? If so, then he is a war criminal, and must be called out as such.
These are things we must exploit. To hell with taking the high road, McCain isn't taking the high road. He only this week said that Obama was for killing living babies! It's as if they've painted him as a child-killer!
The gloves need to come off. We need to hit back, and hard.
We need to show the US populace what we're all about: feeding the poor, taxing the richest to help the less well off, assuring womens right to choose, assuring that gays get full marital rights (this we MUST do, this is a winning issue for us as this goes to the core of the civil rights movement).
We need to stop playing the victim. We must attack, attack attack!!!
