I could see the past 4 years how well dems played chess and cheated and republicans were on defensive, always defensive. For starters you act like you want Obama to succeed, he won fair and square election and ran a great campaign, honestly, but had the media and Republicans to help him. Next you poll test EVERYTHING dems propose and see if there is a way to re-sell it as terrible (I am assuming it’s liberal crap.) You pick which battles to fight. You go on talk radio, FNC , maybe even the Obama networks and bring the worst bills down by holding them up and doing a PR. Eventually the public will just assume everything is crap. Pelosi/Dole(93) playbook. With GWB gone, everything changes, cheer up folks, form political resistance, eventually we will love going door to door again before an election it will be FUN again, with Obama in, GWB out.
yes, the left can’t run against Bush anymore. That takes away most of their energy. It will feel like a major let down after all the parties are over.
We on the ground can do our part by writing letters to the editors. This may not seem like much, but if we can get two to four letters printed in our local newspapers on a weekly basis it will seem voluminous.
When criticizing Obama in public we should couch it such as and I thought he was going to be different,” or ‘he’s just another politician,’ ‘there’s not much difference between him and Bush.’ We can’t think that who we speak to is as politically acute as we are, speak in terms of demoralizing and devastating generalties.
We cannot depend upon our senators and congressmen to get down and dirty.
