McCain's heroism and leadership. These ads carry divisive, don't be
surprised, images of a financial moral crisis, the real estate
collapse, victim's families, troops, firefighters, gas prices maybe a
terrorist or two and a body.
Enter a newly compiled mountain of money at the convention. Pay a
black talking head to bowdlerize. Throw in dollars to Nader-Matt
Gonzalez for viability seasoning. Vicious, tasteless rounds of
negative ads targeted at Youtube. 30 second spots where Obama is
wrong on the economy, wrong on taxes, wrong on defense, a possible
terrorist of questionable gender orientation who lacks courage and
can't be trusted. He'll make Muslims happy. He is no friend to women.
He will take jobs and important opportunities from white workers and
white children. Latinos and Jews should worry. The seared weak link
for us is in the swing states between August and November -- there
will be no time to get to the truth. You know how easy it is to stick
a black male face with a negative association,

We won't be able to stop it. Unflattering photo after photo of Obama,
his wife, his family, ministers, old friends, pepper media outlets.
Co-branding bad with black people should be easy enough to do.
Disinformation, even Mrs. Clinton used the technique effectively
against Obama. If you can't convince them confuse them. Gore was a
RAT. Kerry the decorated hero a coward. At best Obama is a young
"just a speech maker", naive enough to give this country to the
terrorists and apologize and stain the name of the men and women who
have fallen in valor.
Go forward months in time. Am I lying to you? Look at the polls.
There are no rules. Imagine the red meat strategists who served with
our opponents before. Can you see their faces? We should do
everything we can. Don't get me wrong. Fight to the end. Give what
you can afford. But please pray every day. Only the sidereal
metaphysical motions of God can put those two little black daughters
of Obama's playing on the White House lawn as the first family. Pray
that Republicans will find it in their hearts to join with us.
