Our Duty as Democrats From Now Until November:

To present clear, concise arguments as to why McCain would make a horrid president. A president who could, quite possibly, make GWB's reign look like a picnic involving cold beer and delicious chicken salad. (Or, you know, tofu salad, if you're not into the animals-for-lunch bit.)

We must constantly shed light on the reasons, the many, many reasons why John McCain would only further destroy our country, and we must ignore the media's bating us with its salacious gossipy tabloid frenzy regarding the doings of the Democratic party. While it is vital to acknowledge true improprieties by any member of either party, the thing to keep in mind, at all times, is that the media uses these items to keep us distracted, and we cannot allow them to do so. Not this time. No amount of swift boating is going to work now. Especially when the swift boating is being perpetrated by the mediatocracy itself.

Let's show the media the scariest possible scenario: their power is not ebbing - it's ebbed.

Let's show 'em WE'RE the new media, and let's scare the bejeezus outta THEM: let's get OUR candidate elected.

We can do this.

A quote from this piece just proves my point:

"[...] even News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch is hedging forecasts against worse conditions."

That's right, Rupert, old buddy. And when your empire is in the crapper because you didn't see the blogging on the wall, you can cozy up to a piece of vintage newsprint straight outta Fox's boom era (oh, those halcyon days). It's sure to help you sleep better at night. (Well, that, and the Oxycontin you probably go halfsies on with Rush.)
