A Day to ACT

Here are two items I am asking you to help spread around today. As part of a DKos campaign, the idea is to send these to people you suspect of falling victim to the lies and deceit of the McCain campaign. First, a video:



Then, here is The NY Times calling McCain out. A taste:

Mr. McCain came into the race promoting himself as a truth teller and has long publicly deplored the kinds of negative tactics that helped sink his candidacy in the Republican primaries in 2000. But his strategy now reflects a calculation advisers made this summer — over the strenuous objections of some longtime hands who helped him build his “Straight Talk” image — to shift the campaign more toward disqualifying Mr. Obama in the eyes of voters.

“I think the McCain folks realize if they can get this thing down in the mud, drag Obama into the mud, that’s where they have the best advantage to win,” said Matthew Dowd, who worked with many top McCain campaign advisers when he was President Bush’s chief strategist in the 2004 campaign, but who has since had a falling out with the White House. “If they stay up at 10,000 feet, they don’t.”

Hello!

What I understand from the Indian news papers is that Palin has infused life into the Republican campaign and people are flocking to hear her speeches!

It is also said that Rspublicans have acted firmly against the dastardly terrorists and put the fear of God in them whereas the Democrats have been soft and helped the terrorists grow.

I wonder who the American electorate would prefer!

I enjoyed reading your post!

Thanks for sharing!

Have a wonderfull day!
