And look at how easy it is to get even Freepers to fall for this bilge. Dragging a fish across the trail distracts even our bloodhounds.

You Are Correct! And the correct Freeper response to underhanded Democrat tactics like this is clear:

ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL AND TACTICS TRUMP POLICY EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It's fun and tempting for people to sit back and pontificate about their own policy desires from the keyboard but That Doesn't Win Elections.

What wins elections is money and volunteer effort. Freepers MUST find vulnerable House districts and send money to the GOP candidate in that district, and if it's close enough drive to campaign headquarters and help with the campaign.

Frankly, as proved in 2004, the most bang for your hour of volunteer time is manning the phone banks and calling Republicans to be sure they get out to vote. It's about numbers, and not ideas. Ideas are already in place. You already know the GOP candidate is rightward of the Democrat candidate. Nothing else needs to be known. Defining those realities are done in years before elections years. Not during them. Find GOP candidates in vulnerable districts and find a way to help them. If you want to be an idealogue, fine -- then find GOP candidates in vulnerable districts that you like and help them.
