I lost my appetite watching the bit with Palin implying Obama had "terrorist ties" [never specifying the type of "terrorist" - anti-war back in Nam] and her stating the gloves had to come off 'cuz we're less than a month away [horrors] and then went on to state that "we" are the americans.
So, why can't we do the same? Sure intellectual plans are great for the mostly converted -- we eat these ideas up, but we need to take a page from the Reps and try some easy attacks counterpointed by our fabulousness, or fellow "Mainstreeters" or even political plans, but how about using some of their way too succesful tactics such as an ad where she speaks to the fact that we are just plain Americans at the end of her attack on Obama and counter with:
The typical American? How can she dare say that she is like "the good American people" and is a Maverick and Rebel who wants to challenge government intervetion in our lives, when she BANS BOOKS?
Or just what is her personal "just plain folx" economic household worth? I heard it's close to 1 million. How can that person sounding 'folksy' be able to relate to me?
And let's not forget that she can't keep communications going within her own home, teaching her right wing fanatical belief about sex prior to marriage when her own daughter rebels, or was she just uneducated enough to know to use protection during sex?
She appears to be an attractive woman, yet she walks the walk and talks the talk of a mysogist man. No woman would ever be able to justify charging $1200 to suspected rape victims to have the rape kit test. What does she think..that the victim was "asking for it"? Even if the perp was found guilty, there is no refunding then. A woman doesn't punish women, nor take away the very rights that were won so dearly, the right that allows one to be in control over her own body.
There are sound bites to be had and sloganized so they are remembered now abd become a part of our normal dialogue & speak to more people than theirs.
