This is an interesting question the Repubs are asking in their E-mails... |
|
<snip>
3.) If the Democrats win control of the Congress in 2006, what is the one thing you would be most worried would happen? Democrats will try to censure or impeach President Bush Democrat would raise your taxes Democrats would cut and run from the central front in the War on Terror Democrats would sell out American values to Hollywood liberals Democrats would impose government-run health care

2. In other words, "How can we use your irrrational fears to manipulate you |
|
and smear Democrats in the next campaign? Please help us by sharing your precious voter thoughts."

28. Definitely. If an asshat like Sean Hannity |
|
is whining about that, then plenty of others will be shaking in their shoes if the Dems gain control.

22. What triviality motivates you to open your pocketbooks? |
|
Because the quagmire in Iraq, gas prices, and illegal immigration can't possibly be the GOP's fault, can it?
Those Dem bastards!

3. Just how would #4 be accomplished? . . . |
|
How do you "sell out American values" to anyone? I didn't know they were such a cheap commodity they could be bought and sold.

4. Not so much a question as much as it's suggestion. |

I seem to remember that being touted by the Repubs just a matter of weeks ago re the wiretapping scandal ...

Makes me think the RNC believes it to be a forgone conclusion and they are fishing for Plan B.

11. oh how i dream about #1, and how I wish for some |
|
ending that will leave Iraq whole for the Iraqi people #2, but what I wish for and what this country needs for the survival of the middle class and the continuation of the american dream is the last one. Single payer health care, bring it on.

15. You got to love the Frank Luntz engineered phrases |
|
"Cut & run", "Sell out American values","Impose Government-run health care", "raise your taxes". Focus groups are us, they are masters of the social/marketing/psychological engineering behind an election.

16. I think Republicans must be afraid |
|
of a strong Democratic economy (booming like it did under Clinton).
They must be afraid that the Democrats will eradicate the deficit (AGAIN !!!!)
They must be afraid that Democrats will end George Bush's illicit bloody war in Iraq.
They must be afraid that Democrats will shut down Bush's illlegal torture prisons across Eastern Europe.
And YES they SHOULD be afraid that the Democrats will impeach and CONVICT George Bush for his crimes against teh people of this country, the people of Iraq, and countless other innocents around the world.
Republicans should be afraid... very afraid... because JUSTICE will not ever rest.

20. last time I checked, hollywood was OUT TO FRIGGIN LUNCH |
|
on the whole speaking out thing. other than susan sarandon, barbara streisand and Pink, who's really been out in hollywood speaking up against the shrub? too afraid of losing their movie contracts..?
Democrats will try to censure or impeach President Bush *** Read holy crap our idiot mouthpiece front for our father's slimy, tax evading companies will no longer have someone to allow them to steal from their employees and their government ** ouchie, my trust fund check may decrease.... Democrat would raise your taxes ** read, aw damn, we gotta pay taxes on our million dollar mansions??? darnit.. no more million dollar 'charity/katrina' parties where the money goes to our cousin's companies... Democrats would cut and run from the central front in the War on Terror *** Read, crap, they're gonna wise up and stop letting their own sons and daughters bleed to death in a barbaric country full of sand and oil refineries....crap, they may mandate we start sending our own lazy, can't qualify for college cocaine addicted teenage kids.... Democrats would sell out American values to Hollywood liberals ** read, hee hee hee.. we can use the jane fonda and barbara streisand thing forever and no one will notice that the brad pitt and angelina jolie's of the world are more conservative acting and greedy (keep my mouth shut to get the next movie contract) and our best ally, in that they seemed more focused on themselves than the dictatorship their silence corroborates... Democrats would impose government-run health care *** oh NOOOO this is terrible.... old people with enough money to pay their prescription drugs and actually have enough left over for food... this damages the whole population control scheme invented by wolfie and the other neocons that projected 1/2 the baby boomers die of starvation from medicare cuts... damn.... those dems for ruining our well laid plans....

25. Forget an agenda--what the RNC is looking for is a marketing plan. |
|
They are so far on the defensive side that they can't offer any ideas of their own.
They are on the defensive and defense can never win alone.
Democrats/Leftists/Progressives/Liberals--WE ARE WINNING.
This e-mail is proof.

27. They're fishing for "winning" talking points |
