First: destroy the enemy's ability to wage war, aka make sure the Liberal Democrat party falls apart -- permanently. Then re-construct the Conservative Republican party. Trying to do those two tasks in the reverse order is guaranteed defeat for conservatives because while we are re-grouping a unified Democrat party would destroy us. Actually it has been effectively doing that. Thus Operation Chaos is essential to make the enemy war on each other rather than on us while we re-group.
I agree on your strategy summary. The problem is that John McCain is a wild card. Few know what he will do, even himself! He certainly will not wax conservative. He was making soft moaning noises up until two weeks ago about conducting a gentlemanly campaign. He shows good head when he attacks Obama, but needs an affirmative message to compete with "Hope and Change" ( barf), which will allow him to appeal to the masses of undecided voters whose ranks are swollen by the effects of Operation Chaos.
Once McCain has an affirmative , consistent message for the American people, he should rip into Obama's history and utterly discredit him. We have been gathering information here on FR for months, such as in Freeper "Beckwiths" on line "Obama File."
We have the Chaos but do we have a horseman who can ride through it and rally the troops into the Grand Battle of the Fall?
So far we do not.
