Too Cool for School

Politics is the continuation of war by other means. . .
..................Not quite Carl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz


Barack Obama is Mr. Cool and Unruffled. The time has come, though, for some passion and anger. Not personal anger or sniping, but the genuine rage we feel about the bad things that the Republicans have done to us. There is more than enough to rail against. At some point you need to figure out that McCain and friends are not people you can reason with. Attack, Attack, Attack!

McCain, his fellow neocons, and Bush got us into a pointless war in Iraq that has cost us blood, treasure, strategic position, and prestige. McCain and the Republicans adopted runious economic and tax proposals, proposals McCain condemned at the time, that enriched the already rich and impoverished the nation. And on and on and on - attack damnit!

If Obama can't summon some genuine anger against these misdeeds, the case is hopeless. Don't play defense and don't play games with lipstick. Send surrogates out to expose the lies.
