Should we get massive petitions letting GOP governors know that if they sign bills to rig electoral votes against Dems, that Dems and Independents and fair-minded Repubs will NEVER vote for them again?

That's all.

President Obama is a decent and highly rational person. Yet if he used some red meat tactics, rather than a strictly rational argument, he'd reassure people's subconscious needs--of a candidate who can protect them from the dark--and he would easily win the remaining debates.

Your suggestions in this regard are welcome.

Here's mine:

To talk about Wall Street, Medicare and Social Security this way:

"The stock market has tripled since 2008 so no one can say I'm not a friend of Wall Street. BUT WALL STREET IS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AT THE PROSPECT OF GETTING RICH OFF MEDICARE AND THE PRIVATIZATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY, and as president I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

You don't have to out-bully him, but you do need to confront him. "Bully" is a metaphor for the dark forces that a president will face. So when the president backed down in the first debate, the impression was "the bully can keep us safer than Obama."

Let Mitt bully all he wants, but come back with:

"Here's the problem, Mitt: America won't recover with bluster alone.

Let me explain..."

A Republican friend posted on FB that he liked the anti-Obama film 2016: Obama's America, and said that the theater, in the south, broke out in applause at the end. He asked me to go see it.

I think I managed to shut him up... below the fold.

My dream Obama Biden TV commercial:

Clip of Rush from August 23, as played on Lawrence)

RUSH: (hysterical voice:) "Republicans. If anyone asks you about the rape exception on abortion, just don't answer them.

Voiceover: "The next president will decide on the Supreme Court majority and the future of the pro-choice position in America."

Vote for Obama Biden.

This will be a short diary, unlike all the great long diaries on Kos. I assume the Obama campaign people are smarter than I am and that they know what they're doing.

That said, don't they need to start TV ads that refute the Romney-Ryan "The Affordable Care Act robbed $710 billion from Medicare" before it becomes a meme, and one side of the argument?

The Obama campaign has always been good at instant response and I saw the Web Version ad, but I don't think Florida seniors will see it.

I could pretend that the campaign wants to draw Romney and Ryan out before hammering them on it, but that's over-thinking. In reality, if Romney-Ryan keep saying it, people will believe it.

Obama Campaign: I'm waiting for 30 and 60 second tv commercials to refute the bullshit claim that Obamacare gutted Medicare!!

Dear Mr President,

When Mitch McConnell or as my wife calls him, Happy the Clown, says that Obama has been poison to our economy and health care system, you need, that day i.e. yesterday, to be emphatically making the case about what you accomplished.

Am I suggesting you need to be in perpetual campaign mode? Yes. Because if you wait until summer of '12 and the convention, I won't even believe you as you run through you list of accomplishments.

Short diary to ask: What happened to health care?

Does the President think that we're going to focus on jobs and and THAT will be more important than spending the first year on health care and then walking away? I can't understand how he isn't finishing this.

And if he doesn't, then it takes from any credibility he had over the issue to begin with.

It is still vitally important. Get it done!

Dear Harry Reid,
There is a simple way for the Democrats to enact their entire agenda. Make the GOP endure real filibusters. Require them to stand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, talking on and on against the bills they want to filibuster. No more gentlemans' filibuster by rote. MAKE THEM WALK THE WALK.

After they do it on a bill or two, for a week or two, guess what? They'll look like the obstructionists they are, and they won't want to do it anymore. And we'll get health care, and green energy and everything else.

This is a simple, tough solution to our problems. Harry, you'll look tough too.

The longer Dems drag this out, the worse the negative repercussions for them. The extreme is if they don't past it, the Congress will go GOP. but if they pass it but take another few months--Americans wait that much longer to see the results and learn that Dems were right all the time, GOP political opponents get to talk any bullshit they want to.

PASS IT NOW.

Harry is not up to this. He has an abortion balancing act in Nevada, and he's a bit old to understand what's at stake.

I don't know if this has been diaried before but can't we, on Kos, pledge that DEMOCRATS WILL NOT SUPPORT SENATE DEMOCRATS WHO DO NOT VOTE FOR HEALTH CARE which INCLUDES A ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION.

What can Ben Nelson or any of them do without Democratic support?

Isn't this what WE can do prior to the Senate vote?

Let me know if I'm late on this, and ideas welcome.

This is what might be called a fluff diary...but I wonder if it would be possible to give Baucus and Grassley bands like strippers have in strip clubs--so they can put it on their thighs and make it easier for the insurance industry to give them money.

Don't you think this would be a good performance art project?

What I'd give to see that....

Sorry for the fluff.

Bonus, can someone from Iowa please tell me how they have this jerkoff Grassley as Senator?
