Kerry needs to get harsh as hell with Bush to counterattack all the smearing going on from the Bush camp. The immediate lesson to be learned from the past month of negative campaigning from the Repugs is that, unfortunately, at this time in history, IT WORKS. It's what works right now, for whatever reason. And we have to respond in kind. We have to get tough and GET NEGATIVE, because this year, the high road is the road for losers. And the one issue that we need to slam home against Bush is that he is a LIAR!!!! No sentence should be uttered with Bush in it that doesn't also have the word LIAR in it. We need to make people see the LIAR that Bush is. We need to smear him with the word until it sticks, much as they have done with the word flip-flop for Kerry. No more of this wimpy "Misleader" crap. That isn't harsh enough. All "Misleader" ads should be pulled, and replaced with LIAR ads. I know this may sound too harsh to some folks, but we have no choice if we expect to beat the Bush smear machine. I just hope Kerry realizes this and goes on the offensive continuously until the election. This isn't going to be an issues campaign, the Repugs have defined it as a smearfest based on character issues, and who can be more macho about defense and terrorism. This year people aren't going to be persuaded by nuanced policy points, they want red meat. The Dems just gotta suck it up and give it to 'em.
