Who gives a damn about Rove? |

Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 02:42 PM by AUYellowDog
I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes nothing. Who cares about what Karl Rove said? Who gives a damn about Mehlman? I don't give a shit about the flag burning amendment. All of those things are petty and trivial when it comes to the damning evidence of the DSM! We ought to be focusing all of our attention on it. We are letting the Republicans lead us around into all sorts of little battles here and there while the real war is sitting right in front of us, and we're just hardly scoping out the territory. Conyers is a great American hero for what he's done. Once Kerry gets on it, as he's been saying he's doing, he'll be regarded in the same way. None of these other things matter. Right now, as a party, we're too worried about killing the ants rather than killing the lion. Wake up and focus all of our strength on the main battle, not the skirmishes.

The lesson is learned from when the Kerry campaign failed to address the Swift Boat nonsense. Rove's remarks should not be allowed to distract from all the dirt on the table, and they also cannot go unaddressed, because the echo chamber has taken it and run with it, of course, and you know what they say, when a lie is repeated five times, the fifth time, people can be convinced it's true.

I agree with you they want the debate to shift back to Democratic weakness on national defense. Hit them where they are weak not strong. Rove is a jackass, but he is smart, you got to admit that.

4. Actually, Rove's stategy is exactly the opposite |

Hit them where they are strong. People already know where they are weak.
This is why people did not care at all about the TANG. They did not expect that Bush had fulfilled his duties during VietNam. It is also why the DSM will not be a big deal until somebody proves that something criminal has been done. People know that the intelligence were false and they did not care.
The important thing to attack on is that Bush has not made us safer. This is his perceived strong point and we need to demolish it.
The RNC machine (and Rove) are also a perceived strong point of Bush, so it is good to attack it, but I agree that we do not need to do too much about it.

If we the people were going to oust this illegal regime based on just one single issue, it would have already happened. By "killing the ants" we are keeping them on the defense. I want to " focus all of our strength on" making the totality their crimes known. If you think that we can not fight "all sorts of little battles here and there" while dealing with "the real war is sitting right in front of us" then you are mistaken. Look at your "great American hero(s)". They are multi-tasking...torture, election reform, DSM. Follow their example: Fight the battles when, where, and however you can. Never recoil and NEVER GIVE UP.
