John Kerry needs attack ads and needs them NOW.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 03:05 PM by YEM
He can't play this "we take the high road" crap anymore. He needs to nail these bastards. I always thought Kerry wanted to fight right back. He needs to BRING IT if we are to win. NOW!

1. This talking point is getting old already
We've already had about two dozen such threads today.

4. Good manners will be the end of us.
But you know, we'll be "better" and stuff.

5. I agree. No Mr. Nice Guy. Most people will think * walks on water if
there is no dirt brought up on him.

6. If we want sure defeat...
we just keep saying we are the "nice guys." Almost every single Bush ad is an attack ad.

Why not run an ad where you see GWB saying we can't win the war on terror over and over again. Why can't someone figure out how to do that??

8. Until they ban attack ads (not likely), Kerry needs to fight back...
It's a shame. He has so much ammo to use.

9. I don't care how many times this has been posted
It's needs to kick in the moment Bush Jr is done with his speech Thursday night, or wednesday or whatever.

Time to sling the mud and go medevial.

10. Exactly. It's no secret that dirt works.
And until it is all banned, we need to throw Dubya's idiocy back in his face. There is plenty of stuff to use that Bush has said in the last 4 years. Why don't they use any of it?? It's all Dubya's OWN words. Let the people be reminded of what an idiot/nut this guy is.

14. Here's a flyer you can use.
It uses Bush's own words against him.

Hand this out at protests, etc., or when Bush comes to town.

12. Let the fart-knockers have their four days,
and then we'll kick ass. No one will even hear anything the Kerry campaign says until after the convergence on NY...and they are giving us plenty to work with, too.

16. Bush is afraid to go to Iraq
Kerry really needs to stress the simple point that Bush has no problem sending others into harms way, but instead of spending most of his time cutting brush in Crawford, he ought to try and at least find a day or so to visit with the troops who are on the front lines in Iraq.

Kerry ought to ask Bush what he is so afraid of? Ask Bush to explain why nearly 18 months after we invaded Iraq he's only been there once for a short, secret, well-protected trip.

Why is he too afraid to visit our troops?
