Everything should be so simple. So why isn’t it?
I keep reading letters to the editor from defensive conservatives, all of them angrily demanding that liberals and Democrats stop bashing Bush and company: “Just get over it!”
Uh … no.
Message to the defensive conservatives: You will be hammered about Bush until the day you die, and your children will be hammered after you pass on, and their children as well. And if you think this is just going to go away … get over it! Tough shit, assholes. You reap what you sew.
Similarly, I don’t understand why the Democrats in general and Obama specifically are having such a tough time of this. They have everything — and I mean everything — going in their favor this election cycle. They have a war-criminal, brain-dead “president,” an evil, sick-fuck vice-president, a corrupt administration … and all of this is factually documented!
And yet, the Democrats are such weak, spineless campaigners, that they cannot seem to take advantage of this enormous advantage.
Solution? Do not make this election about Obama versus McCain. No no no no no. Too many people think an out-of-touch old coot should be president simply because he was a Vietnamese P.O.W. 40 years ago, and too many of them are afraid of that “guy-who-might-be-a-Muslim.”
Nah. Go for the gravy, because the gravy is there. Attack Bush, and do not let up. Connect McCain to Bush (easily done) and go after Bush, Bush, Bush. This jackass has provided more ammunition than anyone outside of 1944 Hitler, and he is still in office.
Attack his ass (and therefore, McCain’s), because he is a neverending source of bad news. God knows, if Obama wins, the defensive conservatives will blame him in the next four years for everything that goes wrong in this country. So the only intelligent thing to do is what they plan to do to Obama: attack Bush, right now, for everything that is wrong right now. So, so much ammunition.
No brainer.
