Why don't dems have a travelling TRUTH squad for chimpy?
Can't they assign some fairly high profile dems to alternate sites when dopey is on the trail, and call press conferences EVERY time he does one of his little puppet shows?

attract some attention

they did it to Kerry in Boston

why not go one BETTER?

is there anything to stop them from doing that?

what's Cuomo doing?

Dean, of course, but is he damaged goods, for telling too much truth?

Michael Moore, hah? take some time off from promoting your movie.

who else?

they could have a rotating crew of senators, congressmen. each taking a day off, and following the Bush Farewell tour all over the place

2. We have a Democrat Truth Squad

Kerry’s ‘truth squad’ includes Oregonian

Retired Air Force Gen. McPeak will help monitor GOP

WASHINGTON — A former Air Force chief of staff now living in Oregon will be part of a “truth squad” that has pledged to defend Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry from attacks by President Bush’s re-election campaign.

“I know John Kerry. Kerry is an absolute straight-shooter,” retired Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak of Lake Oswego said Tuesday.

Members of the 20-person group will shadow the Bush campaign, including attending the Republican National Convention later this month in New York, to defend Kerry’s record and challenge Bush’s. A Republican “truth squad” hit the Democrats’ convention last week in Boston.

3. They do

Recently they formed a Truth Squad consisting of some of those you mentioned, senators, economists, etc. I do not have the link.

And on Kerry's site there is a Rapid Response

4. I know, should have mentioned that
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 12:09 PM by buycitgo
MY POINT is that they need a TRAVELLING TRUTH squad

otherwise, they get NO publicity

NONE

it's all pugs, all the time on the chat shows and most news

they need to MAKE news

FORCE their voices to be heard

blogs, blastfaxes, and press releases, unless they're offered by pugs, have little/no effect on media

we MUST go over their heads, and give them EVENTS

maybe out of work actors can stage stuff, but their scripts can BE the Kerry truth squad material

something with more PUNCH

ideas?
