Well, everyone but the Clinton camp knows that this bunch is capable of lying, as in, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky".

I saw a while ago on the Huffington Post this piece Arianna wrote cataloguing all the dirty tricks the Clintons play - it was one of the funniest political pieces I''''ve seen LOL. Anyway, that might be another way to fight back. Everytime they employ one of the tactics, point to a list and say ''''typical Washington style politics, we''''re not going fall for it anymore are we?'''' or something like that (?)

This is the preferred method, but when you''re dealing with unscrupulous people, and fighting a two front campaign, you need to return fire as well as stay on message; this must work in tandem.

PS But yeah I do think he has to address every single ''contrast'' that comes out of Billary''s (or their surrogates'') mouths. Because the lies are intended to throw him off guard, so it''s important to show that one isn''t phased imo

PErsonally I thought the stand-up routine making fun of Billary''s specific instances of double-talk was much more effective than just saying outright on ABC News that the Clinton''s are liars. Anybody agree?

"I agree, he has to put up his dukes, but he must do so without any references to race, gender and victimization. He has to attack Clinton on his failings as a model of a president, commander-in-chief, family values man, and his inspirational abilities for the future. Those should deliver some good blows for starters, without going below the belt."

I''m inherently more of an ideologue than a powerbroker, so it doesn''t come naturally to me know how to deal with dirty players. All I have to go by is experience.

All I''ve found so far is that if you try playing a game that isn''t one that is natural to you, you''re chances aren''t as good as they would be by forcing the other player to play the game you want to play. Like maybe the real fight is for control of how to play the game, not just fighting back against the game that the Clinton''s are seeking to play (?)

Is Hillary the female and hispanic candidate, the same as Barack being characterized as the black candidate?

Why should whites support Hillary, if Richardson guranteed her the hispanic vote, as a result of her pandering for the illegals to have amnesty. And how can Barack guarantee the black vote? Where did he say that? Show the article.
