Coin-a-Thought : Vote or Revolt

Some ideas are hard to explain in a post of thirty second sound bite. Like ignorance is bliss. You could give a basic explanation of that but you have to sit with it in your head for any real understanding. In an attempt to allow more ideas so sit in your head longer I am going to chop some thoughts down to little, hard to forget bites. When they apply, you will remember and hopefully see more clearly.

From FT.com's Crookblog via EconLog
Acctualy from a book but this is where it hit me.

"I would sooner take up arms against a government that saw me as a child than vote for it."

Vote Or Revolt. Our redress is when we vote. If the will of the majority is no longer heard then do we Revolt? So when do you stop voting and start revolting. Two more elections as I look at it now. In the times we live, we are all going to have to decide in the next few years:

Vote OR Revolt

The Rules For John MCcain in the Third Debate.

1. Do not say Ayers, Rev. wright or ACORN in the context of voting.

You are trying to get those in the middle. They have written off Ayers and Wright as guilt by association, as important as it might be its not working well. ACORN and voting are being mitigated and with the small number that are in question maybe it should.

Instead of Ayers talk about the CAC and who they gave money to. Start with the Kurtz' Wright 101. Quote from as many mission statement and publications as you can find.

Instead of Rev. Wright talk about Social Justice, Liberation Philosophy and Theology. The similarities to Marxist thought, how this has lead to God backing socialist views and once that happens it becomes untouchable at least in the political world.

Instead of Talking about the ACORN and the voter registration talk about there housing activities.What is their mission statement.

2.Spend half the time being brief and concise on the economy. Half asking Obama questions.

You economics plan is out there. Be honest the President has little to to with the economy and the situation is likely to be vastly different by the time you take office. Don't dodge, brief and concise and don't take any bate to get into the weeds.

Questions for Obama:

Are you tax cuts for 95% tax rate cuts or tax credits?
If I pay no income tax now will i get money from the government?
Is that just welfare by another name?
What is social justice?
If we live in a free society that who imposes social justice?
Is warning people that Republicans are going to "scare you with he is different" fear mongering and somewhat racists?
Are you a Democrat, Liberal Democrat or a Democratic Socialist?
Is being my brother and sisters keeper a job for the government?

3. Trap him on using the race card, the double standard and the socialists ideas.

Those who might be really offended are not voting for you anyway.
Quote the comments of Rep. Lewis, Rev Jackson and mention the endless discussion of how race effects the election. Larry King had the headline Does the economy trump racism. So let me get this straight if people may get over the racism because of the economy Obama wins if not he loses because of racism? Hit this head on. There enough clear examples of this to make your point.
Make it clear that a liberal liberal is just that but a very liberal liberal is a socialist. Let your surrogates lay out Why Obama's socialism matters and Why Obama's Communist Connections Are Not Headlines

Trap him by asking if this is fair. Does this sort of thing chill speech? If you treat people as victims are they? Quote Marx, Stalin or Mao, not the blatant ones but ones some will recognize and ask him if he agrees.

“Political work is the life-blood of all economic work.” or “Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of the socialist transformation of society as a whole” -Mao
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. " -Marx

4. Be Mad, Be very mad.

How long did you spend in Hanoi fighting the communists? "I spent ect to protect democracy from communists and socialist I can not sit here and let one waltz into the White house, hell yes I am mad." Along those lines.

Get mad about Bush weak monetary policy, Greenspan keeping rates low as long as he did, the encouragement by those in the Congress that encouraged Fanny and Freddy, those on wall street that really did wrong, and those groups who pushed the sub prime loans.

Get mad about this double standard on race, the chilling of speech, the oppressive pc environment, intellectual dishonesty on all sides, those who don't answer question when directly asked and the shouting down of those who disagree.


5. Slogans and 30 second clips.
Hell no Socialists NO
I was in Hanoi fight the communist ect
Obama talking about Social Justice
Obama explaining why he is not a communist.
Obama defending the ideas of Ayers and Wright not distancing himself from them.
McCain to Obama's face telling him he won't allow those he put his life on the line to protect us from into the White House.

Hit this guy, You have very little to lose at this point. Have you looked at the electoral map? Do not worry about those that will not vote for you anyway.

HIT HIM. HELL NO SOCIALISTS NO!

Presidential Debate, Mcain wins a little.

McCain seemed better on the details and more on point. McCain has an edge but didn't do nearly enough. Obama may regret blaming so many thing on Iraq, Not getting Osama, deficit, financial crisis ect. More stump speech over and over.

They are both moving so socialist. I though i was living in the USA. I was wrong.

Vote incumbents out at lest if you want to do some good vote first third.

Presidential Debate

First question: bail out for everyone in trouble not good
McCain readjusting house prices, governments set price = Communist?

2nd : more of the same
Fanny and Freddy should never been GSE, regulation or not. they miss the point.
More of the same, blame only part of the system with only partial truth from both
Deregulation is not no regulation.
Mod Q: better before worse? - no brainer why say different McCain

Q3: both to blame for financial crisis: good Q not enough detail
Obama: this only started when bush got in office? Mostly Rep. fault? Not answering Q
McCain: stump speech, point to outside groups good, attack on little stupid crap bad

Okay this is another BS train wreck. Stump speeches again?

No line item veto Senator Obama

Q4: What sacrifices need to be made?
McCain: eliminate programs? really? stupid overhead projector attack. Spending freeze (good but not what was asked.)
Obama: using 9/11 to attack Bush. (nice Our sacrifice is Carters put on a sweater.) More community service? (Should that be a gov. thing.)
Mod Q: Obama sharing the burden over and over. Yes yes comrade
McCain: some specifics finally.

Q5: real dept question then messed with
Obama: Dodging.( If you don't pay taxes you will get a check? Reverse policies? raise taxes?)
McCain: ss compromise, medicare by committee.

Q6: congress move faster; basis green jobs?
smoke brake both seem to be dodging
Mod Q; Manhattan project vs garages
both missing the question

Q7: heath care as a commodity?
Obama: Moral imperative. Can buy into gov. heath care? (not good why should an employer pay for something the gov. would give out?)
McCain: Impose efficacy? Insurance across state lines good. Choice over mandates?
MOD Q: right, responsibility, privilege
McCain: i missed it
Obama: right, McCain vote against child heath care, kind of and not look into it
Make heath care not for profit like it once was and call it a day.

Q8: peace maker?
McCain: America good, use force when necessary and can do good, judgment.
Obama: Iraq Iraq (The war is off budget.) World respect( over rated) we didn't go to Sudan because of Iraq?
Mod Q: doctrine
Obama: Ethnic cleansing go in McCain: Lebanon stop please

Q9:Pakistan and terrorist:

Don't care Obama blame Iraq for losing Osama

Mod Q: Afghanistan, acceptable dictator?
Obama: pull out Iraq and move troops
Mcain: some of the same, broader, basic insurgent strategy

Q10: Russia
McCain: support satellites, no cold war
Obama: same, see better foreign moves.( good but can we do it with hands tied)
Mod Q : Evil Empire
Obama: they are going there McCain: Maybe (trouble)

Q11: Commit troops with out UN to Israel
McCain: Yes, China and Russian UN veto, No Iran nukes
Obama: No Iran nukes, No UN veto on security, try to talk( Europe did it for years)

q12 What don't know, and how will learn?
Obama: ask my wife :) (scary) stump speech, attack Bush,(wages down for more than 8 yrs)
McCain: Don't know what will happen. Stump history ect.

Second Presidential Pre-Debate

I have predicted John McCain by five. I am have some doubts. I don't think that he need a game changer to night but he need one soon. The format doesn't seem to allow for much of a direct attack. I hope that their are people smart enough to lay some traps for Barack Obama.

Talk about ACORN, call some of what they did legalized black mail?

Mention some of the "education" programs that where supported the group that Obama was on the board with Ayers, not Ayers or the group directly. Let Obama defend it or bring up Ayers.

Find a way to ask if those who don't pay income taxes are going to get money back are in that bottom 95% Are they getting money back that they didn't pay in.

If we take more money from those who make more than 250000( not small businesses ) are we going to spend it better than them. don't we need liquidity wright now?

What about the 30% + waste in medicare? Should we be spending that money their? Should we expanding it at all?

Ask lots of questions, lots and lots questions. Only briefly and directly answer the personal situations part of the questions. Rebut Obama's attacks with "no that's not the case i have said it before find the facts out for yourself" mention factcheck. org or you campaign web site. This isn't all that complicated.

If McCain points out the truth, the real truth not the BS short answer PC spin the only way he can loose is if the public really does believe in a hardcore Socialist/Marxist philosophy. If that is the case the American Experiment is over for at lest the next two generation if not forever.

Simple Comment On the First Debate

The political discourse in this country is full of drooling little children. They should have just sent tapes of the stump speeches and the moderator should have just hit shuffle for their responses.
