I have this feeling that the corporate media have been providing false polling results to make it seem close and then have Bush pull away in the polls right after the convention. It'd be an extremely manipulative voter suppression effort; demoralize the dems so much they don't bother to go vote.
This is most likely not true, since the Rove machine is just a mean-spirited asshole who'll do whatever he can to win, with a lot of money backing him. We don't live in a world of super villains, even if it does feel like it sometimes. Just wanted to air these thought.

Harassing and insulting people who disagree with you is not an effective way to win sympathy for your point of view.
Humor, satire, and ridicule (non vicious) are much more effective. An excellent example of this is the Daily Show's take on the Republican convention. The street theater of the Billionaires for Bush is another excellent example.

So just to tell you what we're fighting for. Tonight the spouse of the house and I went with a couple of friends to a baseball game -- a minor league baseball game out in far suburban Chicago, a Republican area in a Dem state. And there was a fella in the row ahead of us with his Kerry t-shirt and buttons on, and I've got mine, and nobody gives us any hassle, everyone's friendly and happy and we all have a good time. So after the game they have fireworks. And they play patriotic music, including plenty of John Mellenkamp, a couple of goopy country songs, and Ray Charles. So there's Ray Charles singing into the suburban night, fireworks going off up above, and I think, this is what we're fighting for. Ray Charles singing about America the beautiful, and here we are with the Dem dad in the row ahead of us, and our gay friends with us, and all of us having a good time at the ball park, and thousands of little kids, white, black, Hispanic, every single one of them looking forward to running the bases afterward and every single one of them getting to step on home base. It *is* beautiful. United, not divided.

One thing that is ticking off democrats most right now is that the main republican strategy is based on dishonesty and distortions. This is not a competition of ideas, it is an attack campaign that plays on peoples' prejudice and ignorance. The most galling part is that most Bush supporters perceive him to be honest and straight shooting - indeed that is one of his greatest strengths. I think that is also Bush's biggest vulnerability, and I think it can be exploited because they have put refutable lies on tape. The mass media isn't picking this up and they are unlikely to unless it is pushed on them - most likely through commercials.
I would start with Cheney's acceptance speech at the convention where he claimed that Kerry declared that we should only respond to terrorism after an attack. I know his wording was a little more clever than that but it is still transparent and it is clearly a refutable lie. This has been reported in the Washington Post and elsewhere, but only noticed by those who read the Post or Slate. Cheney is already viewed with suspicion, so I would start with him and with his more blatant lies. Play the tapes, show the lies.
If the lying meme can get started it is easy enough to make the link back to Iraq and to claims about the economy, but it has to start with lies that can be clearly refuted, and there are plenty out there.

dunno if you've seen it, but tim russert has buchanan and joe klein on CNBC and crazy old pat thinks this election is kerry's to win if he can reach out on a couple of fronts:
at the core of his argument is the commoditization of our economy as china beats us to the punch in the realm of economic nationalism; pat is a right wing nutjob on some fronts, but he is not on this issue; he says the country is too liberal now that the social barometers do not favor the conservatives
take a look at his book; kerry can indeed make the jump on these fronts; crazy pat also says that we are going to regret our middle east endeavors under bush for a generation due to the coming wave of jihad that is coming
folks, democrats have always been more articulate about the economy and kerry has to become less of a free trade ideologue; economic nationalism is the game -- using tariffs and market share to control the consumption marketplace, which is american at its core
commodities are not going to get cheaper now that the chinese economy is raging in its desperate need for oil, coal among others - these are issues onto which the campaign can be focused; crazy pat also acknowledges john edwards assertion of "two americas" is accurate; it's a theme that can be played as labor itself - the action of manufacturing something - is being commoditized just like oil, coal and steel

Actually, the Post article says the twins and their traveling entourage party was comped $4500 in liquor. Meaning, they got it all free because of their last name. And then showed their compassionate gratitude by leaving a $48 tip.

i am not surrendering a thing to them; they are dirty and it comes down to the matter if kerry wants to be the guy in 1971 who spoke from his heart and convinced many that his cause was just
if he keeps getting cute with some of the fringe ideas, the impatient electorate moves on to something else with their collective ADD -- something like "American Idol" -- kerry must be audacious and he must become a "prosecutor" again; with bobo as the defendant ... simple formula, but he has to be as convincing as he was in 1971

5 Commercials To Redefeat Bush
1). Classroom of High School seniors - Narrator: Meet the class of 2005. America's future. High school seniors that are about to enter the real world and face hard choices. Will some of these kids be able to afford to take out burdensome loans and attend college? Will some of these kids be able to find quality jobs that pay quality pay in an unstable job market? Will some of these kids be drafted into the Military and lose their limbs or die in an unnecessary war because a president has lied to the nation?
Vote John Kerry or say goodbye to America's future.
2). Meet Lt. General Boykin, one of the men who are in charge of America's fighting men and women whose job it is to protect this country and defend it from any threats.
(Play videos and soundbites of Boykin's evil speeches about "crusades" and "my god is better than yours.")
Why does this man still have his job? Why does this man still represent the honorable fighting men and women of our military? Why is this man wearing a uniform while speaking from the pulpit?
3). Bush sitting in the classroom (the scene from the Michael Moore movie). The key difference is that it is noted that only the President had the authority to order fighter jets to shoot down the airplane that struck the Pentagon on September 11th. But he just sat there reading "My Pet Goat" while the rest of the world cried as they watched the horrible images on their television screens.
4). Saudi Arabia. Iran. Syria. Chechnya. North Korea.
Are you willing to sacrifice your sons' and daughters' lives on the whims of a madman? Then re-elect George Bush for President and lay start saving for your children's tombstones.
5). Little Girl. When I tell a lie my mommy and daddy take away my toys, put me on punishment, and make me go to bed without any supper. George Bush told lies and lots of people died. Why doesn't his mommy and daddy do the same to him?
Don't give in to terror. Just say no to the re-election of George Bush this November 2nd.

Finally, a voter outreach program I can get behind. I'll be at the Chee Chee bar on Broadway and 9th in San Diego around 7am, ready to go. Jager please.
My girl friend is taking a history class, and she pointed out something that interested her.
The federalist papers written by Madison, Hamilton and another whose name I didn't catch.
It struck me how intellectual these guys were. How deeply they thought. They even used the Latin pseudonym Publius.
Can you even imagine a politician using Latin today without being ridiculed?
What has happened to us, when intelligence and thought are ridiculed? When an intellectual is considered not ‘one of us’. How, whom you would want to drink a beer with is more important than the acumen of someone who aspires to be our president, I mean, WHAT the FUCKING HELL.
The times of the wonderful creation of this country and the elevation of thought and discourse are long gone. Only to be replaced with the crass, greedy, corrupt, and anti-intellectual power mongers we have now.

You did the right thing calling the police. You aren't living alone, are you?
If your neck of the woods seems a little bit red, have you been to the Kerry campaign website? www.johnkerry.com
I mention it because even though we live in a conservative area where everyone is in love with guns (Arizona), and where we already have incidents of road rage, I signed up on the Kerry website, and in addition to hanging out at their great blog (great place to pass along ideas to the campaign folks, and to see what's REALLY happening on the campaign trail -- the numbers are HUGE!), signing up lets you meet up with other supporters in your area.
Tonight we found out that someone just a couple miles away is having a Kerry party soon. We signed up to go, and are looking forward to meeting others, and enjoying the shared energy and the shared motivation and ideas for getting out the vote here.
Maybe you can meet lots of folks in your town via the campaign site, too. You might also find out if this sort of nasty "prank" is happening to others.

Kerry commercial ideas:
COMMERCIAL 1:
[Show pictures of average citizens.]
VOICEOVER: George Bush loves to cut taxes that help the rich. But what about the average guy?
CITIZEN 1: Hell, mine went up and I'm making LESS than I used to!
VOICEOVER: But now he wants to have a National Sales Tax?
[Clip of Bush talking about the National Sales Tax idea they ran up the flag pole last month to little applause.]
CITIZEN 2: National Sales Tax? Sigh. What will that [BLEEP] think of next??
VOICEOVER: Tell George Bush to quit raising taxes on the middle class while cutting taxes for the wealthiest one percent of Americans. They don't NEED it.
[END]
That commercial would KILL Bush. They would have their surrogates on TV explaining that they weren't serious, that it was only to replace the income tax, etc... The more they explain, the more questions it raises.
Commercial 2:
[Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite plays in the background, some hokey martial sounding music.]
[Pictures of Bush marching around on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a flight suit while people applaud.]
[Clip from Russert interview.]
BUSH: I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn't true, but it is true.
VOICEOVER: George Bush and Dick Cheney have never been shot at, never carried sixty pounds of gear on their back in the desert heat.
[Clips of soldiers fighting in Baghdad streets.]
CHENEY on MTP: I think it may be over in a couple of months. [[Exact quote anyone?]]
Words on screen: 1000 DEAD, 12000 WOUNDED.
[Zoom in from pic of Bush on the aircraft carrier, to the words MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]
VOICEOVER: America can't afford this incompetence. We need virile new leadership.
[Fade to pic with VOTE KERRY/EDWARDS]
[END]
Commercial 3:
Bush: [various clips of him saying, "We will win the war on terror, then clip of him saying, "I don't think we can win it."
Bush: [various clips of him saying Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, then saying, Saddam WAS the weapon of mass destruction on MTP.]
[Words on screen say: NO WMD's FOUND IN IRAQ. KAY REPORT.]
Bush: [Various clips of him saying the economy is getting better]
[Words on screen say: MORE THAN 1,000,000 JOBS LOST. WORST JOB CREATION SINCE 1932.]
Bush: [Various clips of him saying we're going to get Bin Laden, we're going to smoke him out. Then clip of reporters asking why he hasn't mentioned Bin Laden's name in months.]
[Camera zooms in fast to still frame of Bush's puzzled face.]
Words on Screen: Four more years of this??
[END]
Commercial 4:
Voiceover: Imagine if FDR had run for reelection by exploiting a disaster like Pearl Harbor.
[Pictures of Pearl Harbor attack.]
Voiceover: Can you imagine somebody running on the worst disaster of their presidency?
Bush: [Various clips of Bush talking about 9/11, then jus

Uncles is still a gay bar isn't it?
Then, "Fuck Bush" is a little inappropriate for the location.
"Lick Dick", would work better.

Restore Checks and Balances:
A simple and obvious point which I haven't heard mentioned as a talking point by anyone…and time is running out. Direct it to swing voters.
Don't know who to vote for?
Think all politicians are corrupt?
Consider this:
Use your vote to restore the balance of power
Republicans control every branch of government, even the judiciary. What we have now is the fox guarding the chicken coop.
We need the oversight of a 2-party system again. For this reason alone you should vote for a Democrat.

The polls for Time and Newsweek magazines were the first to show either candidate grabbing a distinctive edge since Kerry wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination in March.
But pollsters, analysts and campaign aides on both sides predicted a battle down to the wire.
"It remains a very close and very competitive race," said pollster John Zogby, whose latest national survey during the convention showed Bush gaining 7 percentage points on Kerry to lead by two. "It's close nationwide and it's close in the key battleground states."
Zogby released his own set of 20 state-by-state polls on Sunday showing Kerry with narrow leads in 11 states, Bush ahead in eight and one state, Nevada, an exact dead heat.
