IDEA! Let's dig up as much DIRT as can be found on the GOP Nominees....

[FrenchieCat]

and talk about them a lot, via multiple threads....so that the media will follow suit.

Currently, the Corporate media mainly talks about Democratic Candidates' flaws, but doesn't talk about the GOP so much. Romney got a little coverage for being a flip-flopper; nothing much on McCain as of yet.

Remember make separate threads for each piece of dirt found.....have sources, please.

I think this early in the campaign, we need to help the corporate media define the opposition, not so much us.

What-da-ya Say?

I'm starting another thread in a few minutes in reference to McCain.

Comment here, if this sounds like a good idea to you, and then get started on your own thread. I will definitely K&R such thread! :)


Let's get ready to rumble.

1. I'll pitch in $1,000 toward a private investigator or "Decoy Date." n/t

[chimpymustgo]

2. Great idea, Frenchie. WE are generating more negative press for OUR candidates

than the Rethugs are.

[The Count]

3. Yes! And not only on DU.

There are many venues - please add on. Once I found useful where freepers show up to get thumbed down:

It's easy to sign in and takes a few minutes daily to check the news, post articles.

4. It would certainly seem to be a better use of our time.

Rehashing the same tired complaints about our various candidates ad nauseum seems kind of pointless.

I'd much rather make life miserable for Republicans.

[AtomicKitten]

5. Absolutely.

The excavation of dirt on the freaky GOP should be fascinating. And Dems have to stop playing nice. I want to hurt them using a page out of their own playbook. No mercy.

6. When did the corp. media start caring what we talk about?

We could start 1000 threads on how Mittens likes to torture puppies, McCain wants to nuke Iran, or Guiliani likes to arrange cock-fights in his spare time, but I don't know that this will really matter much. The repuke power brokers will pick their next candidate and that's who it will be. If the DIRT we dig up won't have an impact on their primary, we might as well save it for 2008 when it won't be "old news".

[AX10]

7. I agree.

[AX10]

8. As hughee99 said....

We should hold back the dirt until the 2008 election, then dump it out on the GOP nominee.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Yes, don't put it out until after the Primaries... the repugs will do that work

[FrenchieCat]

17. Depends.....if we want to have some say as to who gets the nom....

which isn't a bad idea! although certainly the Pubs could do that badly on their own.

I'm more interested in making sure that their Nom Candidate doesn't end up smelling good by the time their primaries are over....because by then, it may be too late......in terms of the press they get built up in their defense! :shrug:

[LiberalFighter]

20. Work on the ones that repugs don't slime

[pdrichards114]

9. Hell, lets try to pool our funds and send each repug candiate a hooker with a hidden video cam!

[Auntie Bush]

10. Good Idea! We should be able to find enough dirt to bury them alive!

[knight_of_the_star]

11. Good plan!

Let's find the bodies these creeps have buried and exhume them for all the public to see. It won't be hard on these guys, they have real skeletons in their closets.

[knight_of_the_star]

12. How about this

We setup a DU groups specifically for the purpose of finding and disseminating dirt on GOP candidates. That way we can coordinate what we are doing more effectively.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Excellent idea!

Whoop.......good suggesting that Knight! I think one only needs like 10-20 folks to say OK...and it's a done deal.

It can be called GOP candidate Oppo research DU Group!

:thumbsup:

I'm gonna do a poll!

[Cameron27]

13. McCain has plenty.

Search out old news reports of some shady dealings involving his wife and father-in-law's liquor-distributor business in AZ. I had some saved, but they didn't make the transfer to a new laptop.

[FrenchieCat]

15. ok...I'm doing a poll.....to start a new forum....

Vote and make an affirmative comment so I can provide to Admin!

Thanks! :hi:

[hijinx87]

john mccain has a vietnamese love child, and keeps
it locked in his basement.

mitt romney has four wives. hey, he's mormon.

duncan hunter smuggles crack to duke cunningham in
prison

rudy guiliani married his cousin years ago. his male

parties with mark foley

chuck hagel trolls online message boards for underage
girls.

mike huckabee, is, well, mike huckabee. hell, thats
enough.


think it will work?

[FrenchieCat]

19. Well the beauty of it is that I don't think we have to make up anything....

I think the truth is more than bad enough in itself! :thumbsup:
