DUers choose hate and lies over hope and truth

Which is the better campaign strategy? Bush negative message 65% Kerry positive message 35%

Do we have to campaign like Republicans to win? Yes 73% No 27%

1. Not true, obviously not all from your poll shows...

[Christof]

2. You gotta use what works to help you win.

And negative messages are what works.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

3. HIstorical evidence shows that you can win with either type of campaign.

It is simply untrue to suggest that negative campaigning always beats positive campaigning. Paul Wellstone was a good case in point.

9. And what happened to Max Cleland?

4. what works is talking one on one

to potential voters. I find when I do that, I must use the truth. People can tell when I lie.

5. that's because it WORKS! They're winning, WE'RE NOT!

and that's all that matters, we have to stoop to any level to defeat Bush in 2004.

6. You know what?

We all want to get Kerry elected but we don't all agree on how to get there.

OMG!! Call 911! It's all over!! Jebus save us!!

/sarcasm

We are Democrats. We want to win. We aren't the enemy.

7. i didnt vote and i will tell you why

i am not passionate in changin kerrys campaign into bush 2 of hate and lies adn smear, so i didnt even bother to go into the threads. maybe the people that are really aggressively wanting kerry to do this see you poll and are so passionate they overwhelmingly go in and vote where those of us that are satisfied dont bother to go into the threads. so maybe that is scewed..........why i dont put much stock into polls

8. Negative ads are good...

...as long as the ads are truthful.

Blowing happy all the time is not healthy. In these times, people need to face reality, not the kind of unfounded optimism that got the US stuck in Iraq.
