Read this, all of it: The Left’s Big Blunder
Bottom line: They can’t win unless we let them. All it takes is one voice to say “I don’t agree” and all the left’s howls, threats and lies–”you’re gonna lose, Obama is too far ahead”–will collapse.
“But! McCain won’t fight! Why should I?” Guess what? He can’t–not the way you can. He is fighting on his battlefield, though. With the whole of media aligned against him, what more do you want? Any step too far will be seized upon, open season on him and everyone around him. He has already taken some brutal hits, is taking some ugly shots–and you whine he is not doing enough?
While they are attacking McCain, smearing Sarah, they are not attacking the troops. Sure, they think that if they muddy the leader, the legions will melt away. And that is their only path to victory. Make us give up the fight before we ever take the field.
But: We can hit them back. Energy, enthusiasm, drive, “loud and proud,” etc.–That’s what scares them, that’s what they are trying to stop, that’s what their polls can’t tell them, that’s the big, huge unknown unknowns.
Any and all to let them know: WE WILL NOT GIVE UP, WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY, WE WILL WIN!
Enough of this doom and gloom. The Hillary supporters have been beat once and they’ve got more fight than most of us–who have yet to even take the field. You want to be depressed, save it for November 5th. If we lose, congratulations–while we were fighting, you got a head-start on moping. Wow, lot a good that did.
“But, we need to focus on what we can win–like the Senate.” BS. What kind of talk is that? “Sorry boys, the other team outranks us. Yeah, we’re number 2 and they’re number 1, so what? They’re too good. So, let’s just focus on trying to get one field goal. No need to try and actually win the whole game or anything. Now, go on out there! Field goal! Field goal! Field goal! Raaahhh!”
We must fight to win everything. No one ever won by saying “We’re not sure we can win.” No one ever gained in the polls with the slogan, “We’re gonna lose but, won’t you help us lose by less?”
This diary needs your recommendation, folks!

We're in the red zone. Let's go for a two point conversion instead of a field goal.
Tim_Schieferecke Thursday, October 16th at 3:38PM EDT (link)McCain needs to use Obama specific terms to brand his run for what it is. Branded terms are the meat and potatoes of any effective ad campaign. He needs to run with “Senator Government”, use Joe the plumber anecdotes and a term I just heard by gman that he called “trickle up poverty.” He needs to get specific about other countries universal health care plans to scare the hell out of people who don’t know anything about them. He needs to run that “spread the wealth” clip over and over and go the extra mile with it to compare that statement with the bs that Karl Marx wrote. Senator McCain has allowed Obama to define him, and that’s always a negative. Buck up, we’ve still got time and while Barry’s still got a crap pot full of money, he doesn’t have anything left in his arsenal but spitballs.
