2 humiliating Presidential election cycles and 8 long years of political hell and the left has learned nothing.

November was all but in the freakin' bag.  We have an insipring class act at the top of an historical ticket and a geriatric clown for an opponent.

But the netroots it seems annot wait to have their ASSES handed to them yet again by jumpi9ng into the gutter and getting dirty with the "culture warriors."

My family is full of Republicans.  They're infuriated and embarrassed by Bush.  They can't stand McCain.  I consider every one of them a swing voter.  I consider almost all of them votes for Obama.

Ast least I DID, until we decided to HELP the GOP fight this elction on their own turf by hyperventialting about everything Sarah Palin says and does (ahem, Josh Marshall, ahem...) and, by extension, injecting every cultural wedge issue that Republicanbs use to cover the fact that they're COWARDLY MURDEROUS TRAITORS.

For Chrissakes, friends, you don't build numbers by screaming about how you are different.  You build numbers by talking about what you have in common.

LETS GET BACK ON MESSAGE.

1) REMIND PEOPLE WHAT THIS ELECTION IS TRULY ABOUT!

IRAQ, ECONOMY, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, CONSTITUTIONAL RAPE, GITMO, KATRINA...

These are all things that most Americans are FURIOUS about, no matter what they think of the NRA.  HAMMER THEM.

Even my Evangelical parents and sisters think that Global Warming is a big deal. 

If this election is about Irag, their jobs, and their retirement funds evaporating, they will vote with you.  If this election is about God, guns, and abortion, they will vote against you.  

Remember, swing votes are in the center. 

2) STOP TALKING ABOUT SARAH PALIN!

She is a GOP wet dream.

If you are talking about her, you CANNOT talk about the issues that are most damaging to Republicans. 

You CANNOT talk about Palin and Iraq.  She has no relevant connection to it.  And so it goes with the rest of the Republican baggage that has the country in ruins.     

What she IS is GOP wedge issues personified.

Plus, many swing-types have something in common with her (they hunt, they go to church, etc.) so over the top Palin-o-phobia  gives the right-wing MEDIA WHORES a ready made script: "These people don't respect your values!"  This is the same line Republicans have been hiding their CHICKENSHIT MURDEROUS asses behind for as long as I can remember.  

Don't give them that free advertising.  Leave her where she belongs, in the margins of election obscurity.  Make her WORK for exposure.

this is the second time I've posted this, so sorry if the firs shows up sometime.
