Is it time to swiftboat McCain.

[edhopper]

Make him spend campaign money to fight allegations that...let's say....

He's an adulterer
A poor student who got into the Naval Academy on family connections
Was embroiled in a major banking scandal
Couldn't fly planes worth shit
Has a campaign completely staffed by lobbyists
Is married to a very wealthy woman who has bought them 8-9 homes
Has supported without reservations the biggest foreign policy debacle in U S history.

Also that,
He would rather pollute the environment than lose an election
Would rather bankrupt the country than lose an election
Would rather stoop to the lowest campaign practices than lose an election

He can spend his time trying to tell us how it isn't true.

1. Um

That wouldn't be swift boating. That would be um - like - er telling the truth - ya know? ;-)

[edhopper]

5. Sorry I didn't

put the little "sarcasm" emote in.
The point is that McCain can be attacked hard, with the truth. Make HIM an issue.

[JustAnotherGen]

10. I knew that

:-) I'm just teasing you! :-)

[elleng]

18. Right,

like General Clark did, eh?

3. You forgot: Would rather start WWIII than lose an election.

4. Those aren't allegations, they're known truths.

Too bad the he's got the media in his back pocket. :grr:

7. Part of the point

I was trying to make.
The Media will repeat the lies of the Corsi book over and over. And ignore the truth about McCain.

[City Lights]

9. Guess I was puzzled by the swiftboat reference since I associate that

with lies.

I agree that we somehow have to get the truth out about mccain, even though the media will bend over backward to cover for him.

8. Precisely. The Swift Boaters are a Rove invention: Take your opponent's strength, and turn it.

We are amateurs here. Telling the truth isn't the way Swift Boating is done.

They took decorated war hero John Kerry and made him out to be a coward, and proven draft dodger and AWOL National Guard member George W. Bush, and made him out to be the military's hero.

Now, that is Swift Boating. The OPs suggestion is not.

[Union Thug]

6. Yes, it is. n/t

11. Don't "Swift Boat" McCain, DAISY McCain

There are a lot of things to worry about if McAin't "wins".
Top of the list is his temper:


We need to make another "Daisy" ad.

12. Is that "Veterans against John McCain" group still running?

[muntrv]

13. This is truth telling, not swiftboating.

[Lint Head]

14. What's with the Cindy McCain carpal tunnel syndrome cast?

I had 100% carpal tunnel syndrome in both damn hands. The kind that cripples your hands for life. I had surgery in both damn hands simultaneously. I am doing fine now. There was no cast except for bandages after the surgery. She is doing nothing but getting sympathy for Herself and John. it is total bullshit. If she has it that bad get the damn surgery Mrs. Buffalo Chip. :dem:

23. Its all them hand jobs....Elitist and power hungry....

[Top Cat]

15. count me in...

[salguine]

16. I's not swiftboating if all that stuff is true.

[elleng]

17. It will be time after conventions,

and I don't know that I'd call it '[swiftboating;' there's lots of stuff in his resume that should give anyone who cares pause.

[swishyfeet]

19. I want sleazy ads now!

<kinda seriously>

They only need to play once or twice in a small market to get national coverage. Well, at least that's the way it works for the repugs...

[populistdriven]

20. His Pilot skills are irrelevant..... But it would be fun to watch him defend them! nt

[BlooInBloo]

21. Uh... the truth is quite sufficient, thank you.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Go to the source...its those GOOPers who need exposing..They fund the whole thing to remain in POWER

LIE CHEAT STEAL....thats all they do....Family Values my ass

24. Roll out the Dems 527's.
