Is anyone brave enough to do this?
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 11:06 PM by grasswire
In the back of my mind are two strategies we've seen this month.

1. Rove strategy. Aim for the candidate's strength and rip it down.

2. Kerry strategy. Turn your boat directly into the attack.


I'm thinking perhaps we should take the fight right to Bushies locally.

Does anyone have the courage to go someplace where mostly Republicans gather and pass out the articles written by conservatives Charlie Rose and that other one posted today (my mind is a total blank on the name of the author but it will come to me) urging against voting for Bush.

What about taking it directly to your local Bush HQ sidewalk? Just stand outside and hand out the flier. Dress nice, be mannerly, but just smile and hand them literature or fliers arguing that conservatives should vote against Bush.

How about outside Baptist churches on Sunday morning?

Where else do they gather?

3. Do both simultaneously.
They gather pretty much everywhere in some states.

What strength of bush's would we attack? It would have to be a "perceived strength" as I don't think he really has any as a president.

The whole Christian angle--there are websites devoted to showing how his actions are VERY unChristian.

The national security thing? Easy....get stats on how our ports, chemical plants, nuclear power plants and borders are no more secure now than they were pre-9/11.

4. I think that, with his flippy daughters and
their dress and drinking, his AWOL lying, his coke snorting and drinking, he could be hit at his base. Going to fundy churches and handing out fliers detailing these things would be a start.

5. National security. If this regime is so great on security issues, then WHY
couldn't they even secure their own CONvention?!?!?!

Ask 'em THAT one.

6. I do that stuff all the time
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 11:25 PM by zulchzulu
Not to pimp my site http://www.kerrysupport.com, but I am always at the ready with info to give to Chimpy fans that say some stupid shit they heard on Hannity or whatever. Check out the issues section.

Usually, they are too cowardly or intellectually sub-level to engage in a reasonable discussion. Hence the handouts...

One thing about Chimpy fans and Rethugs... they generally are not very nice people at all. They are angry at their self-loathing choice for a AWOL pussy cokehead loser that the GOP has inflicted on them...usually their only glue holding them to Chimpy is their dumbass "pro-life" stance.

I don't have the nerve to ask Chimpy fan fathers whose daughters are present if they would want an abortion if a black man raped their daughter....yeah, they are "pro-life"....

However, you can find hope that there are MANY Republicans who are going to vote for Kerry. I've run into many.

10. Great site, but your link isn't working here
It does when I type in "kerrysupport.com"

Terrific work, zulchzulu - it's always an inspiration and motivation to see hardcore activists like you doing so much, and pushes me to work even harder!
