Seriously...if we keep attacking her we will be LOSERS!....just stop. Let it go. Charge it to the Game. We have learned that their are no consequences for liars within these past few days. Calling Sarah out on more of her lies and shady record will only result in our defeat. Why? Why? Follow me this way...
Because the McCain campaign has decided to turn every comment regarding Sarahs record into something sexist or they are attacking her and they are being disrespectful. The news has been flooded with Palin..Palin..Palin. Obama says McCain is putting lip stick on a pig by calling his policies change. The media doesn't cover if McCains policies are similar to Bush policies, but they cover how will folks react to McCains accusations that this was a comment to degrade Palin.
In order to win we must be able to change the news story to McCain versus Obama. We can't do that if everyone is speaking negatively of Sarah Palin. She is new..she is a hot commodity any story with her name in it will get run before any other story especially stories that cover the ISSUES.
It is important that we take the fire, the spiciness, the excitement out of talking about Sarah Palin. First starting with the dem, liberal, and progressive blgos speakng positively of her accomplishments and anything she does OR not speaking of her at all.
For example, her interviews with Charlie Gibson. We would say she failed miserably. She just showed us that she is unprepared. But, this type of reaction needs to go out the window. We now need to say...well she did the best she could with such a short time to prep. I give her props for getting out there and being bold enough to do interviews.
It's not fair to judge her on the same level as seasoned experienced politicians such as Mitt Romeny or Huckabee. They have had years of being involved in politics and dealing with the news media. And of course she isn't an expert on foreign policy like Biden so it is only fair not to judge her on the same level...Biden is Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee we should expect more from him than her. She is doing a good job for not being involved in middle eastern foreign relations.
This might sound horrible. However, what meat did I just give the news media or republicans to attack us on and focus the subject from Issues to "They are attacking Sarah"? None.
The more exciting message I guarantee you will be what Barack just said about McCains foreign policy and/or Patriotism. The more exciting msage will be how Baracks economic message seems to be resonating more with middle class white women.
You think I'm wrong? You think I'm wrong? Oh really...well let us see what happens when one scrutinizes Sarah Palins record and calls her out consistently on her B.S.
You know how McCain used POW to respond to every attack? Palin, sexism, and disrespectful will now be used to respond to every attack.
Here is what happens when you scrutinize Palins record...
CARVILE VS. BACHMAN
YOU'RE DEMEANING WOMEN..2:20
ANDERSON COOPER
YOU ARE SENT TONS OF MAIL SAYING YOU ARE ATTACKING HER
HALPERIN: No. It's another thing that, again, I'm embarrassed about our profession for. She should be held more accountable for that. The "bridge to nowhere" thing is outrageous. And if you press them on it, they'll fall because they know they can't defend what they're saying. They're staying it on the stump as a core part of their message, it's in their advertising. I'm not saying the press should be out to get John McCain and Sarah Palin. But if a core part of their message is something that every journalist -- journalism organization in the country has looked at and says it's demonstrably false, again, we're not doing our jobs if we just treat this as one of many things that's happening.
COOPER: And yet, we're getting tons of e-mails from people saying that we're attacking Palin by looking at her record. It's fascinating to see how polarized people are.
And I am sure you all can remember many more instances where her record was scruitnized and the McCain campaign came back with some B.S. accusations of attack, sexism, or being disrespectful. Honestly, there have been soo many instances my brain can't remember them all. If you all can remember some false attacks please post them in the comments so I can ad it to the diary.
And the big finally the latest ad from the McCain camp.
OBAMA VS. MCCAIN
Obama says that McCain is lying about this reformer image and the bridge to nowhere stuff and now he is going after Sarah Palin directly.
I hope it is clear that we have to stop talking about Sarah Palin. They will use her to distract from the true issues and anything negative you say about her they will turn it around and call you sexist. We have to start ignoring her or saying good things about her. McCain isn't even doing any major campaign events without her she is the new Presidential candidate. We have to understand tha they will use her to distract from focusing on the issues. We are distracted and are being played.
Do a google search "Palin liberal media attack". The folks on these republican and conservative blogs are feeding into this garbage. They think we are all kooks. And we have just come after her to tear her down and they must protect her at all cost. They now won't even believe any of the TRUE statements regarding Sarah. Because when she first came out there was sooo much garbage mixed up in the truth they decided to block it all out.
Now we just have to leave the subject of her alone. We can win fighting McCain...we can't win fighting Palin.
