The GOP needs to get after Reid on certain issues but there’s a danger in getting too nasty and using too much dirt against Reid, even though it is the truth. If we run a campaign that is just as nasty and dirty as Reid’s campaign, then we look too much like him and we don’t appeal to Republican and independent voters. Rather than a lot of nasty attacks on Reid, it’s more effective to counter-attack strongly and hit Reid hard for false statements that he makes about his Republican opponent. I think a hard-hitting counter-attack campaign is better than a lot of nasty first attacks on Reid. We want to differentiate GOP candidates from the democRATs and run more positive, upbeat, inspiring campaigns that appeal to business people and professional people. I say we should counter-attack very hard and fast against Reid but don’t run many first attacks against him, just tie him constantly to Pelosi and BHO.

We need not be afraid of speaking the truth.

If the GOP is, or remains so, then we truly are screwed.
