Time to Take Em to the Woodshed.
Once the Convention is over.
Once Barack Obama is the official nominee.
It is time to DESTROY the Republican brand by calling it out, once and for all.
We know what Bush has done and what McCain will do. We’ve heard about the houses, the non-knowledge about the economy, the indifference to the millions of Americans who are suffering because of Bush/McCain’s policies. It’s time to point out that these guys are desperate. It is time to TELL the American people what’s at stake for these guys. It’s time to take them to the woodshed. More below the flip.
Senator Obama needs to tell the American people and hammer home over and over and over again that they will lie, cheat, smear, him, his family, his good name, associate him with shady characters, as they have done every election, to win an election.
Senator Obama needs to tell the American people and hammer home over and over an over again that they are trying to divide this country by fear, of each other, of difference races, of different religions, of different people, to win an election.
Senator Obama needs to tell the American people and hammer home over and over an over again that they will try to scare us into thinking that we will not be safe unless a Republican administration is in office.
Senator Obama needs to tell the American people and hammer home over and over an over again WHY they will go to these great lengths to win an election:
- Because keeping us dependent on foreign oil will result in the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind, and most Americans WILL BE LEFT OUT; (h/t to T. Boone Pickens, whatever you may think of him);
- John McCain is a sponsor and signatory of the Project for the New American Century, a neo-con SCAM that will keep our troops entrenched in the Middle East until America takes it over to get their oil, all while the oil companies, the war profiteering companies and defense contractors get rich, and most Americans (who are not in the top 1%) WILL BE LEFT OUT;
- John McCain WILL keep our troops in Iraq, DESPITE ANY AGREEMENT between al Maliki and Bush, because certain individuals tied to the war industry will continue to get rich, and most Americans (who are not in the top 1%) WILL BE LEFT OUT;
- John McCain and the Republicans are FLEECING the government, and will continue to FLEECE the government, at the cost of ordinary Americans, their children and their children’s children, and most Americans (who are not in the top 1%) WILL BE LEFT OUT.
- John McCain and the Republicans of George Bush thinks YOU, ORDINARY AMERICANS SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO SACRIFICE, not the oil companies, the drug companies, the insurance companies, the CEO’s, the speculators, the companies that sent jobs overseas, and all of the people who made a profit while homes were being foreclosed, gas prices skyrocketed, health care skyrocketed, jobs were sent overseas and lost, more and more Americans found themselves without healthcare, and while the economy COLLAPSED for most Americans.
A speech could go something like this – Obama’s "Okie Doke" speech:
"Now let me tell you something I think you already noticed. They’re gonna try and scare you into not voting for me. You know why, because they do this every four years. They’re gonna tell you I’m not patriotic enough, or I am not a Christian, or I am foreign, or a "celebrity" like Britney or Paris, or even try to scare you because of race. You’ve heard the lies, the smears, the ridiculous ads, the even more ridiculous claims. And they’re gonna run ads, all kinds of ads, maybe even racist ads. They’re trying to get you to reach for your prejudices, or your inner fears or demons, that you may not have, instead of looking to your better angels. In a nutshell, they’re trying to divide us; because if we are divided, they can split us into factions, and they take this election and continue on this disastrous path, that favors the few over the many.
You know what’s at stake here. Your lives. Your families. Your future. You are either going to vote for your future or you are going let it slip away. Because I’m here to tell ya, that you don’t have to vote for me – but if you vote for John McCain, you aren’t going to see your life get better. Why?? It's simple -- there is too much at stake for them.
We WILL have more wars. We WILL NOT get out of Iraq. We won't become less dependent on foreign oil because they DEPEND on our dependence on foreign oil keep the rich oil companies getting richer. How many of you have heard of the Project for the New American Century? I'll tell you what it is. It is a neo-con scheme to take over the Middle East, to commit troops and money, so we can control Middle East oil. John McCain is a signatory to PNAC, because John McCain -- is a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
We WILL see more foreclosures, because John McCain won’t offer any relief. Remember the "Nation of Whiners" comment made by his campaign adviser, Phil Gramm?? That is what they believe. They don’t believe that people are genuinely suffering, that their homes are being foreclosed, or that they don’t have healthcare, or that vets returning from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan don’t have jobs, healthcare, education, or that people are feeling the pinch of high gas prices, food prices, housing prices, insurance prices, falling wages. They will continue to ask YOU to sacrifice and not the oil companies, and CEO's, and companies that ship our jobs overseas. And why??
Because YOU ARE NOT THEIR PRIORITY. YOU WERE NOT GEORGE BUSH’S PRIORITY. YOU WILL NOT BE JOHN MCCAIN’S.
But, you WILL be MY PRIORITY. . . . ."
