Ford has largely been able to control the dialogue of late: he's for the poor, he only smoked crack that one time, he works hard every day, etc. Just found a blog post by someone who essentially feels that Ford has been victimized by people for doing what regular folk do every day.
We need to keep hitting the fact that this guy gets away with things you or I never could: he gets drunk at Steak Queen on a MONDAY, then doesn't show up to work the next day til after 2 with no explanation.
We need to reply to his simple slogans with simple slogans that are closer to the truth.
So when he says "fancy streetcars", we say "above-ground subways" or somesuch.
When he says he's for the poor in community housing, we ask him why he votes against them.
His lies are catchy. We have to come back swinging with catchier truths.
