So the Repubs are now out to build the largest Grassroots Movement in Hist

[cidliz2004]

In an e-mail: Ken Mehlman is hoping to be elected RNC, he plans on building the largest grassroots operation in history and they are looking at the next election in two years. So, the INTERNETS are now
on thier list????? What do you make of this?

1. It probably means that they are gonna sign up every

e voting machine in the USA as part of their grassroots. You know they actually let a few of them be honest in the blue states.

2. So the biggest political party in the country with billions of $$$

is going to have a "grassroots" operation ?! Up is down again.

7. that's what I was thinking. Lots of people & $$$ = grass roots?

this really IS 1984.

3. Bring it on

The more blatant they get the more grassroots opposition they create. The sooner their finished the better.

4. Astroturf Roots, Is More Like It. Think People Sold A Shoddy Product

through blatantly false advertising.

Disturbingly, people keep buying the shitty product even after discovering they've been had.

I guess after you've wasted a certain amount of money, it's too painful to admit it?

5. I imagine they will. This morning they were talking

about eliminating deductions for state income tax, employer contributions to medical health care plans, and mortgage interest deductions while they increase the deductions for the wealthy.

Sound like a pocketbook grassroots movement to me.

6. This will be trumpeted all over the media like the Second Coming.

It's a media strategy to make it seem like the LW is not interested in the people.

They are also taking advantage of the fact that many Dems are angry at the party for various reasons.

We have to fight the framing of this.

The LW needs to get some sort of movement going as well. We have the grassroots infrastructure built up over the election and 2 years is just around the corner.

We need to show them what we can do, It means a lot of us must agree to disagree for the good of the order.

BUT WE MUST MOVE NOW.
