Attack McCain Hard

Mon Jun 23, 2008 at 09:10:22 AM PDT

With the new book coming out that attacks Obama, it is time to start thinking about how to return the favor to Senator McCain.  The Anti-Obama book cannot be stopped. And to talk about it publicly only gives it fuel.  So I am advocating attacking McCain instead.

New Book to Attack Obama

There is little need to get into too much detail at this point. The thing to take from this is that it is going to get UGLY.  And Obama better be ready to respond.  Even more, it is important to get some attack dogs ready to respond in kind.  Kerry made a huge mistake not responding to those types of attacks.  Debunking will not be enough.  It will be necessary for someone to get up and state some of the obvious things about McCain.

Age
The candidate and the press are afraid of the age issue.  But I think this should be hammered hard by someone.  We deserve a president who can think clearly and not get confused.  Age will do this to a person.  His own words can be used to do this.  All the times he got things muddled are clearly a sign of mental deterioration.  He can say he will be around and fit for the next 20 years all he wants.

Keating Five

I guess it is old news.  The general public does not remember this event.  All the dirt for this should be dug up and rehashed.  If someone is going to vote for McCain, then they should be aware of what he did.

Military Commissions Act

I need to do a little more research in this area.  But I distinctly remember McCain standing against this bill at the time.  Then on a Friday he went to a meeting at the White House and when he came out, all of a sudden the bill was fine with him. I downloaded and read the bill myself.  And NOTHING was different.  Clearly a huge flip-flop.  And clearly McCain supports torture.  Not to mention that the act also lets the president decide who is designated an enemy combatant.

I am sure that there are dozens of other things that should be aired about McCain.  The thing is to come up with something that is unique enough to get play in the traditional media.
