We need to run like we're ten points behind. The Rats are going crazy, and if they get in, the first things they're going to do are:

1. Try and impeach Bush.
2. Pull out of Middle East (heck, we're still trying to clean up Carter's mess).
3. Bring back the fairness doctrine (shut down talk radio).
4. Try and get some kind of limit on political speech on the internet.

"4. Try and get some kind of limit on political speech on the internet"

Sorry, but John McCain beat them to it. It's called "the Campaign Finance Reform Act" and it precludes the use of broadcast, print or online media to discuss a political opponent's record, launch "attack" ads, or run "issue-advocacy ads" in which an opponent (typically the "incumbant") is the obvious target (i.e he/she/it is mentioned by name or by other means intended to identify said opponent, are used), within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election.

We don't have to worry about democrats (small "d" intentional) restricting free-speech, since our own conservatives (really small "c" required) have done it for them.
