most bush supporters are DEMOCRATS...but too stupid to know it! ROTFL!

[LynnTheDem]

The MAJORITY of bush supporters believe bush supports various issues.

So they voted for bush and support bush's stance on these issues.

But the kicker is, in fact BUSH DOES NOT SUPPORT THOSE ISSUES.

74% believe Bush favors including labor and environmental standards in agreements on trade.

FALSE.

72% believe Bush supports the treaty banning landmines.

FALSE.

69% believe Bush supports the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

FALSE.

51% believe Bush supports the Kyoto treaty.

FALSE.



BUT THE DEMS DO SUPPORT THESE ISSUES.

So the rightwingnuts support the issues that BUSH DOESN'T SUPPORT, BUT THE DEMS DO SUPPORT...they voted for the WRONG PARTY.

And for any rightwingnuts who based their vote for bush on Iraq/WMD/Al Qaeda ties/world support for bush...OOPS. Fucked up just a wee bit in your total ignorance, didn't ya.

They voted for the guy who DOESN'T SUPPORT the issues rightwingnuts thought he did support. Ya REALLY just can't get dumber than that!

ROTFLMAO!!!

1. well, Fox News has melted a lot of brains

Them, and Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly & the like, too.

6. This is why they LIE; the republican platform IS NOT POPULAR.

It never has been.

So the rightwingnut cabal LIE and MISINFORM Americans as to what their platform is. And that is PROVEN by rightwingnuts themselves; the rightwingnut majority think bush favors issues that he DOES NOT.

And that isn't just on foreign policy; they're mistaken on bush's stance on education and environment and economy...but that doesn't matter much, because the majority of ALL Americans have given and still give bush a total failure in all those areas.

Even on "direction of the country" bush gets a failure by the US majority, including in the recent polls from last week.

The ONLY area bush gets a passing grade is his war on terra. Too bad rightwingnuts are also entirely misinformed on that, as well.

The pundits raking in the millions -Hannity, Hume, Coulter, Pigboy et al- are laughing at the rightwingnut bush supporters all the way to the bank.

But at least we & the rest of the entire world can laugh at them, too. :D

2. This is why reframing the issues and pointing this out

is so important. The Democratic Party better develop a media where they can get these point out. We need to get George Soros and other Dem friendly ppl with money to get venture capital and get a cable TV station to counter FOX.

3. Money is one approach, wisdom is another. We need both.

4. It frustrates me immensely. We have to do more to counter the

image the RNC puts out. They are really good at smear and I don't think we were very good at correcting it.

8. Sam Parry's lessons:

--Third, address the conservative caricature of liberalism head-on. Again, the Republicans have a huge advantage with the conservative media reaching virtually every corner of America and especially dominant in Middle America where outlets of information are more limited than in the urban centers of the coasts. Liberals also can’t count on the mainstream press to give them a fair shake. If they ever hope to win, liberals have no choice but to build a media infrastructure of their own.

--Fourth, tell it like it is to the American people, not only about Bush and his administration, but level about what the liberal vision is for the United States. If the country’s political system is to be revitalized, liberals must counter-attack in what the conservatives call the “war of ideas.”

5. When you are uniformed or misinformed

In the vacuum of being without facts and truth many develop erroneous beliefs. Corporates own the media and the Republicans and they have control of the bullhorn.

7. That's because the dems became "middle class party" leaving those

people behind - to be grabbed by hatred and idiotic issues. It's not like anyone else made a pitch to them. Well, some people like Michael Moore spoke to them, but he is bad, bad, bad, bad for your fancy schmasy middle class pure blood country club party. We'd rsther pick some moderate GOP-ers (who have nothing to do with liberalism but are scared of the fascism) than represent the working class and the poor. So let W's faith based pick them, with our tax money instead.

9. bush isn't a conservative; he's a Radical Regressive

(An email from a friend awhile back)

A true conservative would be, among other things, fiscally responsible, wary of unnecessary foreign entanglements, and, in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, a good steward of the environment.

Bush is actually a Radical Regressive. He and his minions want to turn back the clock on everything. They want to take the social safety net back to the pre-New Deal era; remove regulations on big business so that things are more like they were before we had laws to protect consumers, the environment and worker safety; allow those with the greatest personal/family wealth to rule everything, as in the Gilded Age; and return attitudes about personal, social and sexual behaviors to the Fifties or before, when women, ethnic minorities and gays "knew their place" and no one dared to speak out against the interests of rich white men.

Add in some pandering to the most radical elements of the religious right, albeit from a pResident who talks a lot about faith but whose actions are distinctly un-Christian (unless you want to regress all the way back to the Crusades) and what you have is not conservatism, but an ideological mess that is distinguished only by its incoherence.

***

And the majority of bush supporters do NOT support the above regressive policies; but that is in fact exactly what they voted for & exactly what they're likely to get. And it'll take another civil war to get rid of it.

10. Not surprising.........

as a previous poster pointed out how the media spins the repub stance on these issues. BUT, why wasn't a nice, easy, clear to understand table like the above included in mailings to voters? As they say, a picture (or, in this case a table) says a thousand words. We all know the average American doesn't have the attention span to read verbiage related to the stance on these issues.

Another thing my friends and I were laughing about prior to this election were the number of crappy, old, Yugo type cars driving around with W stickers on them. I just wanted to stop and ask the driver what on earth he or she thought that W was going to do for them, other than possibly offer them a free trip overseas when they got drafted????!!! :eyes:
