What McCain needs to do is simple:

Talk about policies of Obama that people will not like

Talk about policies of McCain that people will like

Did that already. Now we need to be sure that the money is spent well. I want my money used to beat Obama - not to lose expensively.

McCain’s ads SUCK. His media people SUCK. He’s scattered all over the place and needs to focus, focus, focus.

The answer for McCain is actually quite simple...

First Pray, pray, pray. We could use some divine help.

But,along with that, here’s what they need to do:

Tie Obama, the most liberal senator to the current liberal congress that recent polls show have a 19% approval rating. Spell out what historically liberals support (abortion, higher taxes, regulation, gun control, activist liberal judges etc), and CONVINCE the people that Obama and Congress are one and the same. Create doubt in people’s minds regarding a one-party controlled government. Convince them that there will be no one to stop this liberal activism if Obama gets elected.

I think it would be very helpful to McCain/Palin, if they would publicize a breakdown of the ACORN registrations.

It's my take that those registrations were something like 99% Democrats and 1% Republicans (if that).

Of course the Democrats can register whoever they want.  This wasn't just the Democrats.  ACORN is a publicly funded entity.  I know they claim to be privately funded, but hello.  Nobody believes that one.

Shout it loud and clear what the breakdown of those registrations were.  If it is indeed 99% Democrats, folks will be furious about it.

Describe it as more clear cut evidence that the Democrats and their government funded sympathizers are trying to steal this election.



  The FReepathon Challenge has been extended to 10/20/08 12:01am.  (I wasn't able to focus and push the effort like I wanted to by the 15th.  Let's go for it.)



  Hey, we're almost done with this quarter's FReepathon.  The goal will be reached within a few days.

  We have extended the FReepathon Challenge.  It's a way for you to donate and get some of your funds matched.  Those who have volunteered to become a Charter Member of the FReepathon Challenge, will pay a certain amount if certain levels are reached.  Read about it at the link.

  If you would like your donation to be augmented for the benefit of retiring the FReepathon more quickly, join in the FReepathon Challenge by clicking on the right part of the above graphic.

  We'd love to have you join as a charter member too, if you'd like.

  If you wouldn't care to be a part of the FReepathon Challenge, but you'd just like to chip in to help retire the FReepathon more quickly, please click on the left part of the above graphic.

  Happy trails FReepers...

You beat me to it.
I was going to post exactly that.
Hell, it's even been my tagline for about a week now...

How about this one:

Good God people!!! Wake up!

McCain/Palin- whatever their faults may be, we can live with them four years.
Can we live with THIS?

Obama went to Kenya to campaign for the murderous, Islam-backed Odinga on OUR tax dollar!!

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:

“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.
(He’s PROUD of somebody who converted to Islam???)

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

(The Obama camp denies this- yet it’s in his own book in his own words)

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

(Do you think, as a practicing Muslim, the stepfather didn’t do his duty and lead him down the path of Islam?)

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHOULD TURN IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”
(Hasn’t he proven this by campaigning for the Islam-backed Odinga? By sponsoring a ‘Halal Food act?)

http://www.examiner.com/a-536474~_Trapped_bet...

http://www.examiner.com/a-534540~Can_a_past_o...

“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.”
OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR, the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

Obama speech-’Disarm America’:

(why does he want to cripple our military when the radical Muslims tell us plainly they want to overthrow the U.S. government?)

THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING:

Every single one of those ideas seem solid. The last point about healthcare should also stress the fact that people would lose their current plans for a government plan with less benefits. It should hit closer to home.

Also, there needs to be a 5th point about fannie mae and freddie mac, connecting Obama to the financial crisis. The financial crisis makes people angry and that anger is directed at republicans right now. That needs to change.

“1. ABORTION. McCain is underperforming in the Catholic vote, and shockingly is getting some evangelicals too. AT LEAST 15% of Catholics now for Obama would flip into the McCain camp – and vigorously – if they saw an ad that got the message across. “

I had words with a guy this morning regarding this. He is a practicing Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus and is still voting for Obama. I asked him how he could rationalize it and he told me that “some people just hold on to negativity.” Abortion is MURDER, not negativity!

Excellent laundry list for McCain. I’m sure someone in his campaign is reading the Freeper posts regularly. His third debate was exactly according to a freeper post. The last point should be about his character and judgement. Instead of focusing just on Ayers, we can list his choice of friends like, Ayers, Odinga, Rezco, Fannie Mae and so on. Also throw in his willingness to meet with Ahmenijaed without precondition. McCain should nail that That One is unreliable and untrustworthy to become the highest executive of the most powerful country. This should be the icing on the cake .If they could purchase 30 minutes of air time around Oct 29-31 and let McCain and Palin give 15 minute speech, that will carry the voters right to the election day. We will be home with 290 EV easily.

“They can’t put their finger on why, but they’re worried that he may not be the “reasonable, mainstream” candidate he portrays himself to be.”

Must be because they never saw that *light* Barry was telling everyone they would see.

Obama is a manufactured candidate.

His campaign consists entirely of rhetoric about the future a.k.a. the issues.

This serves Obama two ways: (1) Talk about the future is just talk. Not accountable, not verifiable, not anything but telling people what the campaign thinks people want to hear. (2) Obama's past (his political record and his associations) play no part in his campaign. Literally, who Obama is, the real Obama, is not a part of the campaign. The campaign-Obama is a completely manufactured image.

In this way, he is the perfect media candidate. The media created Obama(or more accurately, the image of Obama) out of thin air and that's what people are buying. The manufactured image. The faithful doesn't know or even care who the real Obama is, and the media likes that just fine.

This type of campaign is unprecedented, dangerous and very hard to fight. Fighting Obama is like fighting a ghost because the campaign Obama doesn't really exist and the real Obama is kept securely hidden.

The real Obama must be exposed. I know people are trying, but it is very difficult to fight the media because they have the biggest microphone.
