I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this. I used to bemoan the dirty politics of Republicans. I thought America would wake up and realize what they do. I thought our party should rise above such dirty tactics or else we'd be no better than the 'pubs.
I changed my mind. Whoever gets the Dem nomination needs to be prepared to run the dirtiest campaing they possibly can. Push polls, quotes taken out of context, negative memos about Bush that have just enough truth in them for plausible deniability. Every one of Rove's dirty tricks needs to be turned back on him. Attack, attack, attack. If he manages to fend off the attacks, we've learned how to do it so we're better prepared next time.
I want our people to stop beating around the bush and call their people liars and traitors. I want a campaing that manges to ruin every single one of Bush's campaign appearences with protests and belittling commentary. I want our people to turn into monsters that don't stop fighting even when the other side cries foul. No backing down. Ever.
Whoever wins the nomination needs to prove they can successfullly tear down eveything about their opponents and still come off looking pretty.
Whew. I just had to get that off my chest.
