I’m not worried. This is no time to go negative.

It amazes me to no end the idiocy of those who buy into the whole negative campaigning is bad, and the American people want positive campaigns theme. Who tells us that this is so? The news media tells us. They want to control the negatives.

They tell us that people hate negative campaigns, and in the next second tell people about the Republican Culture of Corruption, the existence of which is extrapolated from the fact that George Bush stole the election from Al Gore, and some guy named Foley had impure thoughts about congressional pages.

We heard a lot about Foley in the 2006 election cycle, it was the lead story on every newscast. The American voter responded by electing Democrats in droves, all because the news media and the Democrats that control it ran a negative campaign. George Bush didn’t do a whole lot of negative campaigning, and he barely squeaked by against Kerry, and the media tells you that Kerry was defeated by being Swiftboated, a reference to a very effective negative campaign strategy.

But negative campaigning is bad, so honorable Republicans should really argue for their own positive ideals, and stay away from pointing out the weaknesses and inconsistencies in Democrats’ ideals. Don’t worry, the news media will make sure that everything you need to know about the mean and nasty corrupt Republicans will be revealed for all to see.

Well, guess what? It’s way past time to go negative.

You may as well go to the doctor and have them remove that hook, line and sinker now.

For you have been flim-flammed by the Drive - by's........
