WE NEED TO TAKE THE FIGHT RIGHT TO THEM! Wes Clark's Winning 06 Strategy [View All]

[FrenchieCat]

To preface--
Cause we can't run away from the GOP Trump Card....coz it can and does trump just about any and every issue that the Democrats attempt to make on just about everything else wrong with America!

Look at the news! National Security is used as an excuse and as a PR shield in response to just about every damn thing this President and his Republican Minions are doing to destroy our Nation and our Democracy!

From Poster Reality Bites back at a Clark Blogger's conference in LA this Week-end.....

Reality Bites Bites Back reports.....

"I made the point that a proportion of the electorate was wired, through conditioning, so that any attack or threat to the nation would default them into the Republicans' hands. His response was quick, and deliberate: 'the Democrats need to get out there and engage the Republicans head to head on national security! We need to take the fight right to them! The Democrats need to make that the focus of their being; that the Republicans, who have so completely sacrificed the security of this nation through incompetence and willful indifference have not only failed to secure America, they have unified our enemies, depleted our resources and stretched our military to the brink. All before the watchful eyes of the world and our enemies. Enemies that will now see America as more vulnerable in the inability of our leadership to succeed.'

His (Clark's) passion was clear and real. `If the Democrats were in power,' he strenuously argued, `we would have gone after Bin Laden, we would never have wasted over $200 billion of the nation's wealth, we would never have ignored the threats of North Korea and Iran, we would never have ignored Putin's power grabs and suppression of Russian Democracy, we would never have completely ignored China's growing economic threat, and we would never have undertaken a policy of such ill repute that it creates more enemies in the world than friends. Only by directly engaging the Republicans on national security,' he stressed, `can the Democratic Party hope to win.

Unfortunately, some may not want to hear this....but the General is right! It is not poverty, health care, nor corruption issues that will win us the day in a long run.....cause those very important issues can AND are drowned out everyday with "breaking News Stories"....and "Just In" headlines, and this is done conveniently just about anytime the Republicans so choose (that what happens when the media is in your back pocket)!

If we avoid the issue that is really the only "strong" point to "their" majority, we cannot win! As noted....All they have to do is "find" a Bin laden Tape, issue an Alert, or Bomb Iran....and all other issues become Moot.

National Security is the Republicans' excuse for doing all that they do against the American people. We must see that and attack them on their territory!

We are fighting for our Democracy, and we must, we must confront the enemy on their lying bullshit of them "keeping us safe".....cause they ain't!

If we articulate our passion in this belief that we are not being kept safe, and understand with conviction that the Dems have the real (not perceived) strength on National Security .....we have a chance!

We need to contact and call the fucking Corporate media on this BS that they are selling us on who's who and who's done what, and our elected Dems surely need to tick off all of the Bush failures in National Security to date over and over again...even when they aren't being asked a question in relations to it when they are facing the media...... Otherwise, issue after issue will continue to quickly disappear right before our very eyes with the GOP's use of propaganda and media distraction!
