Here's Way #1:

1. Keep saying nice things about McCain.
If you want to help elect McCain, keep blessing him as if he were the white knight who accidentally hopped on the wrong horse. Keep reminding a country at war that he, and he alone, is a war hero. That he's been "good on global warming" and campaign finance. Say that enough, and you know what happens? People start to believe it! You've sold them on the idea that McCain isn't a bad egg, and they do not hear the rest of what you have to say: "But John McCain is four more years of George W. Bush."

Don't remind people that McCain wants to help the oil companies even more than Bush did. Don't bring up that he wants to outlaw abortion. Back away from painting him as the guy who thinks it's a good idea to stay in Iraq until pigs fly. That way, if you keep praising him, you can send a mixed message to the less informed, who are simply not going to figure it out. When they walk into a voting booth, they will see two names on the ballot:

☐ BARACK OBAMA
☐ WAR HERO

Trust me, this ain't Sweden you're living in. War Hero wins every time.

1. #1 is incredibly important.

2. It sure is - every time Obama does it, he sets himself back.

4. I know. I cringe whenever he calls McCain "honorable" or even mentions his service.

5. Me too - Barack gives voters more credit than they deserve. HE'S the honorable one!

6. It is, and here's why...

...what happened to McCain:

Never should have happened to McCain.

He survived it, and he served his country, but that DOES NOT MAKE him a "president."

Moore's right. There are people who don;t want to hear it, but he's right.

7. Obama made a big mistake distancing himself from Clark on this...

He shouldn't have said a word, and is now paying the price. Thankfully, there's still time ~ and hopefully lessons learned.

3. I WISH we were more like Sweden - the U.S. has such a redneck shoot-em-up mentality!
