Reply #228: A New Strategy that will get votes

[Doc Roc]

I believe we should employ a new strategy to win over independents and on-the-fence republicans. How often do you believe an avid supporter of someone on the other side of the fence? How often do independents take politically-involved activists seriously? Not often. I think if we swamped the political forums as "fellow independent" just spreading links to unbiased media such as FactCheck.org, we could educate the independents with the truth. Sure, they might see a stretched truth from an Obama ad here and there, but the lies from McCain-Palin on FactCheck.org beat out Obama 10:1! So in this election, an educated independent will be an Obama Democrat, hands down! That is if we can educate them with the truth. The good news is, WE don't have to spin the truth to make our side look good! We just have to spread it!

This will only work if it is done in a way that it is known to the independent (and anyone reading that post) that the information contained within IS the truth and the links are to unbiased sources that state fact, and not just another activist pushing their own view with their own sources of spun media. This will ONLY work if we use references such as FactCheck.org or PBS.org, not MSNBC, other corporate media, or much worse. And please make sure you check your OWN facts on a site like this before posting (especially if you go about it with a strategy like this).
