Kay Hutchison 2006 (sorry its kind of long) keep reading start planning

Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 07:05 PM by juliagoolia

First of all, I do not agree that we did not have a good candidate that Texans could support. We did. He was strong, and forceful with good ideas. Apparently they even convinced some DU members from TX that he was a MA Liberal and that the birth of this nation took place in some despicable unspeakable location. John Kerry presented the ideas we support such as; Health care, Education, Inventing our way out of oil dependence, Social Security, foreign policy civil and equal rights for all Americans.

These ideas are of good character. We were sideswiped by a plan Rove implemented with folks like John O'Neill, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell right after the election in 2000. He was able to get the Gay marriage vote on the local ballots to bring people from the Christian Coalition/Moral Majority out to the polls in droves

Remember that many organizations published voting guides under the guise of non-partisan information to members of all of your local churches.

See below;

Constitution party which is without doubt a Christian party candidate opposed the guides.

Note; they did not include the above candidate in the voter guide. which shows that it is NOT non-partisan although they claim it is. Not only did John Kerry not participate with them in putting this together, they lied on some of his positions.

We aren’t really talking about values here, or character. We are talking about pushing religious dogma and doctrine upon the masses by talk radio, talk TV and 527 orgs non-stop for the past few years. The Moral Majority (Falwell) and the Christian Coalition (Robertson) are just a couple of them by name. Fox, well nuff said there..

This is what we are up against, and we will have to fight that with new language and talking points. We will need to use slogans like.

“Hate Radio is UNGODLY”

“Flag Worship is Idol Worship”

“Jesus was not intolerant”

God is not a Republican or a Democrat

We allowed them to define moral values. Note the line items do not recognize feeding the poor, shelter, health care or any of the things we support as moral values that we either support or oppose. Someone should maybe make up a voter guide outlining the moral values we support? WHO?

They have built a media machine that is working 24 x 7 against us and referring to us as traitors and every other kind of ugly thing you can imagine. We are called Communist John Kerry was called a traitor and a treasonous liar by talk radio. I personally can’t turn on the AM radio in my car because of this pollution, but many do turn it on, and this is what they hear.

What they have done is take moral values and twist them into a political pretzel that traps anyone who believes in free will Christianity into a corner where they are accused of supporting the murder of babies. This is what we are up against. These are the tactics they use and the method of delivery.

We have a big battle ahead to help people see that they have been pandered to, and taken advantage of not only by big business, and military defense contractors, but large tax-exempt Christian organizations.

I honestly think we need to get on the radio to give people a choice in what they listen to here locally. If anyone has any ideas on how to make that happen let get that moving too.

There will be a battle here in TX when the Senate race comes in two years and we need to be ready for it. We need a strong person to run against Kay Hutchison. We need to see what kind of MORAL programs she did not support. Like health care, like food for the poor, like wages for the workers. We need to put this lack of support for moral values into a context that people will understand it as such and make it hit home. We need to issue or someone does, some voter guides to local churches all over the state that are non-partisan but point out the MORAL VALUES that WE DECIDE are MORAL VALUES.

We need to start dissecting Kay’s voting history and put this into a moral values statement for her to defend for the next election.

Surely TX has some word-smiths and voting record investigators and otherwise (personal morals) investigators.
