Remember during the Dem convention, they tried to ...
Pigeon hole the Dems by saying they better not try to hit shrub and the repukes that much because it will back fire. Everyone of these corporate media readers, the repuke surrogates and news papers repeated this over and over.They said, Dems are bitter angry people etc. etc. Well they got what they wanted, with the exception of Sharpton no one mentioned shrub or any other repuke by name and kept the message fairly contained.

Now all I'm hearing is how Gulliani and some of the other speakers are going to be slamming Kerry and giving it to him by name. Now is the time Kerry best start listening to people with an experienced track record like Carville and start hitting these vile manipulating bastards hard. Taking all of this shit can only go on for so long. It's long over do for the people in Kerry's inner circle to get the balls needed and start fighting back.

As of right now, this has Gore 2000 written all over it!

1. Damn straight
"Don't Bash Bush" over and over and ovetr again. So we cringed and cowered and didn't "bash" Bush, except in ever-so-polite terms.

Foolish to take their advice. The GOP is bashing Kerry wall to wall. The media is revelling in it.

The Dems missed an opportunity that the GOP is squeezing every drop out of.

We're courteously and ineffectually tripping our way to four more years.

2. The repukes set the tempo
and Kerry has been following it like a lost puppy. I love they way people like this Campbell Brown while interviewing Dems was dismissive and abrupt. I watched her today with smiles from ear to ear, polite and hardly stepping on 1 word of the people she is interviewing!

3. I have said for a long time, shrub has given more than ample ammunition to
play against him. We are so busy being his victims that we
have failed to realize the 'shiny new image of leadership' he is acquiring with the public 'The War president'. All the poles say
he leads in national security.
I say it time to strip the shine off his butt and remind the public what an con and liar he is. His team has transformed his image 360 degrees from what it was a few months ago. And the Democratic party has fallen right into place, just like they counted on.
