Reply #28: If only strategists have enough vision to "tell" not "spin" [View All]

The "hook" mentality and tactics works for the Reich Wing to metronome the lockstep. It is the deathknell for Dems who need to win "hearts and minds," not Dittoheads. Eloquence indeed, which both these candidates are capable of. The discomfort they both exhibit on TeeVee when it really counts could be the feeling of the handlers jerking their strings, when they both have the brains and charisma to step out as real human beings. They are too smart to be manipulated by political marketing clones and not look pained.

"Especially now that Republicans have very publicly stolen or manipulated many things since then--from Gannon to Iraq and "WMDs," from trying to kill the very popular Social Security to manipulating votes in Congress and recess appointments, Bolton, etc.--it has reached a stage now where things are building up, it is no longer a "shock" to accuse Republicans of destroying our Constitution, and people are getting more and more fearful at the changes in our country and our world."

Damn, HS, this "very publicly stolen or manipulated" stuff is the Grand Old Party's grand old tradition since Reagan and the denial of the Merican people is at about the (toxic) Teflon level now. DOES ANYTHING GET THROUGH?

I'm willing to suspend my sense of disbelief for "It is getting to be the time to say it, an idea whose time has come" (even tho it's been that time for 25 years) and "A campaign based on opposing Republican corruption can be understood, now, as exactly what we need."

Oh yeah and what about those voting machines? What if EVERYBODY votes absentee?
