righty or lefty -- ranting into their screencam, it will be too soon. From my experience, there's only one professional ranter worth looking at, and that's Lewis Black. And his rants work because he's a real writer and standup comic. I'll pass on the rest, thanks.

In Sara the right has the perfect leader because she knows all the talking points and repeats them well....and her sheep hear hear voice and follow. There is no effective way that I know of to counter that kind of an opponent other than the rant, because there is no way to counter the talking point with facts. You can quote all the facts and even the common sense of the point in question and ...

While McCain was pretty much doomed anyway, the selection of Palin sealed his fate. Since then she's just descended deeper and deeper into the slough of stupid that spawned her in the first place. She's the perfect leader only for the moron-American vote, which is somewhere south of 25% of the people. For everyone else, she's a turd on the bottom of the shoe. And, the press hates her (as much ...

And the media is totally unreliable where the truth is concerned, nevertheless regular people -- who make up a substantial majority of voters -- are still able to tell the difference between shit and shinola without too much difficulty, and they know that Palin (and her ilk) isn't something you want on your shoes.

But what they fail to see is that not voting is just what the right wing wants. Somehow...

(which was already archaic when I first heard it) still get it. It's most useful. With regard to the substance of your response, I guess I'm a little more hopeful. Yes, most people don't really pay attention to politics or the political media, and most people are probably pretty cynical about politicians generally. As well they should be. They probably don't even think in terms of right wing ...

But I have always liked the saying that to be fore warned is to be forearmed...so I pay more attention to how they will attack and try to nullify objections and counter attacks. And having said that I agree with all of that....education and organization.
