Speaking Of Everything…

End Game: Time for the GOP to go Negative!

“Now you’re getting nasty.”

–Indiana Jones

The GOP has thrown everything they can at Barack Obama: Experience, Elitism, Naivete, etc.

The economy is tanking and the Democrats are rising in the polls. Voters want out of Iraq and the Democrats are rising in the polls.  

What is a desperate party to do? Pick up the shovels and head for the manure pile! Bill Krystol, one of the neoconservative guys advising McCain, (and one of the Project for the New American Century knuckelheads who showed Bush the way into Iraq) says: 

“The McCain campaign has to convince 51 percent of the voters they can’t trust Barack Obama to be our next president. This has an ideological component and a character component.”

Standard Rove/Atwater Operating procedure. Divide the country in half and get 51 percent of the voters scared or mad over some cultural aspect… gay marriage was the thing that helped steal Ohio for the GOP in 2004 – but that is off the table after the Biden /Palin debate. Here are a couple of ads from te “Good ole days!” Jesse Helms “Hands“  ad, and the George H.W. Bush,  Willie Horton ad, The new offensive should be just that, Offensive! The more offensive, the better to resonate among the “real, hardworking Americans… white Americans” identified by Sen. Clinton.

I remember one of Ronald Reagan’s favorite quotes was from Al Jolson, “You ain’t seen nothin’, yet!”

It is going to get real thick over the next 30 days.
