Opening salvo:
As a Democrat and a staunch support of Barack Obama, I am completely disgusted by his campaign. Are we talking about the President of the United States? Are we talking about a principled man who has boosted our ideal for a fair and equitable America? Does this have anything to do with the American people?
Wait, what?
Everybody takes turns to bombard us with e-mails, phone calls to chip in for one reason or the other. Even those of us who asked to only receive selective information.
He's mad because he gets Obama campaign emails asking for money? Well hell, impeach the man.
The subjects for whom we are approached are generally a teaser to get to money. If we want to wish Happy Mother's day to the First Lady, a link to the payment process is attached.
The e-mail from the President "I will be outspent" is disgraceful. Is that how Barack Obama judges his campaign? Does he truly believe that he will lose his reelection on the fact that it might be outspent? "We can win a race which the other side spends more than we do. But not this much more".
Oh yes? Is that what we expect to hear from the President of the United States? Is this the way the democrats are judging themselves, using the weaponry of the Republicans to self-flagellate? Is our yardstick of value the money we collect and the money we spend?
Yes, you moron. Because the Republicans and the media they are bribing with the billionaires who are buying our country are more than happy to convince Joe Six-Pack that the President is a secret Muslim socialist fascist who will round up white people in a second term. I prefer to fight back rather than remain supine and let the Republicans run roughshod all over us, but I'm pretty sure as a Columbia law professor and CEO of your own consulting firm there Georges, you'll be okay under a Romney administration and GOP Congress.
In fact, I'm sure you'll have plenty of consulting advice you'll be glad to sell us.
The people you are using all have one characteristic in common: they are unable to imagine a Presidential campaign without narrow solidarity with the advertising industry and the media. Are they really brain-dead?
Why do we need to respond to the most disgusting Romney direct or indirect TV ads by other TV ads? Why don't we take the high road? And answer to those ads in a different way. Responsibly. And stop feeding Madison Avenue.
Because the votes of the brain-dead crappy FOX-fed zombies out there count exactly as much as ours, and high score wins. Get it?
You can't be this stupid, man. You're selling something just like the rest of the Useful Idiots, and that something is principled resistance to a GOP-controlled America. You need that GOP-controlled part for that to work.
Odd how that works out, huh. Yes, the Village is terrible, the media is terrible, and we have to do something about it. That "something" cannot be "play to lose".
