When they smear you, have to say something. Otherwise people begin to think the smear is
true. You must say something, say the
smear is false, say there is some other reason, turn the smear around and lay
it on them. Say something.
Republicans need to work on this. During last election Democrats accused
Republicans of wanting to end, (or reduce) social security benefits. Totally untrue. Nobody wants to end or reduce social security
because of the furor it would create. A
huge number of people live on social security and any reduction would cause
them severe hardship. Every Republican
knows this, and would never touch social security. Yet Democrats were able to accuse Republicans
of this, and the Republicans let them get away with it. Republicans never came out and said we have
no intention of reducing social security because we know how much people depend
on it.
Something ought to be done. Maybe the Republican National Committee needs to work up a “Smear of the Week that needs answering” list and pass it out to candidates and state committees.
