When you're phone-banking or canvassing or just talking to somebody in the next six days, if they bring up any, and I mean ANY, of the absolute crap that McExplodinghead and his craven, venal, desperate "running mate" are spewing, please, I implore you, look them in the eye (do this with your voice if you're on the phone), and say: "Please, please, please -- let's be real."
The FACTS are that American is in a world of pain and suffering: we are trillions of dollars in debt; our economy is in free-fall; our education system is failing; our health care is a mess; our wars are giant pits of money and graft and the innocent dead. The FACTS are that honest, hard-working Americans are losing jobs and health care and educational opportunities and homes and retirement plans. These are FACTS. Being real starts with agreeing on these facts. See if they'll agree that these facts are, indeed, factual.
Then move to the other set of FACTS: Barack Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim (check it out on snopes!); Barack Obama is a Democratic Capitalist, not a Socialist; Barack Obama doesn't know William Ayers very well; Barack Obama is an American citizen who was born in the USA. Oh, yeah, and Barack Obama's mom was white and his dad was black. And then suggest that since the attack on these FACTS are the ONLY thing McTenseface and his "pal" have been talking about for a month, that it would then follow that:
1. McLiar is a Liar. And so is his "friend."
2. McNothing has Nothing to run on except his McLying.
Then see if they would agree not only with THESE facts (if not, snopes.com!), and if so, with the assessment that McDesperate has been wasting a HELL of a lot of people's time and money talking nothing but pure smack.
