Switch Blame From Bush to His Party |
|
Bush's popularity has tanked and it isn't going to recover. As was noted here yesterday, once you see through one of Bush's lies you see through them all and you can never support him again.
The problem is that Bush isn't running in 2006 or 2008, but an awful lot of Republicans who were and are complicit in his crimes will be on the ballots for our upcoming elections.
It is important for people to come to understand that Bush did not throw our country into this mess alone - he had essentially the entire Republican Party marching lockstep behind him and in fact for much of the assault against our uniquely American ethos it is just those ideologues who will be defending their House and Senate seats who led the charge.
So lets start using the language that places the blame squarely where it is most deserved - on the "Republican" party. Bush is about to become the lamest duck in history so its time to concentrate on his henchmen.

1. Yep, yep, yep. Good strategy. |
|
Keep in mind peoples, if Dems take the House on Nov 2, 2006, impeachment proceedings can start Nov 3.

2. Amen-been saying this since day after election |
|
In some senses we have to stop getting our panties in a bunch about Bush. He's history in three years and there won't be a VP to come to the forefront in the next race and thus have to live under the shadow. We have got to now make this about Republican domination. And I choke as I wrote those words because I know in my heart that those useless bunch of politicans that we call Democrats will never have the balls to do so. The republicans will undoubtedly succeed in blaming everything on the Dems, the people will believe them, and the Dems will go down in a ball of flames AGAIN.

5. GOP will not suceed in blaming dems for anything- we have AAR now |
|
One station of truth negates five of Hate Radio on the same radio.
as AAR haas grown to 67 stations, bush ratings have plummeted to 36 percent. Coincidence? No
AAr is bring the truth
for the first time ever, to
DALLAS AUSTIN SAN ANTONIO CORPUS CHRISTI ? ALBERQUEQUe colorado anchorage new orleans the Carolinas atlanta San Diego
these are not liberal areas that have always had independent LW hosts. These are hard RW areas that have never heard an intelligent articulate liberal talk at length in detail.
put AAR in your will publicize it get it into your town

3. "Bush** and his enablers in the Republicon Party." |
|
Get used to saying it all in one breath. It's a pre-emptive strike for impeachment.

8. Stay away from the word "enablers"! |
|
The helpers are in the Republican party. The enablers, sadly, are in the Democratic party.

Republican senate, Republican house unquestioningly supported the Republican president down a path of failure.
They called those who demanded truth or questioned lies as traitors.
It was party/president over country.

12. not just the party, corporatists in general |
|
some of them, dare I say, are supposedly Democrats. I think we need to shift the battle lines. Right now Joe Citizen can't tell much difference between the two brands when you have supposed Democrats voting for things like the bankruptcy bill and for CAFTA.
Making a strong stand for things like universal health care, environmental protection, voters rights, and corporate responsibility, will differentiate us from the same old BS that has the uninformed either voting repuke against their own best interests or not voting at all.
