C-span name-calling

[housewolf]

The House is in "morning business" - short speeches, each side taking turns. Listen to what each side is saying...

Dems, talking about Soc Sec, Afghanistan, armed forces,

Repubs - "sore losers," "consnpiracy theorists," the up-coming weather this weekend for a trip they are all taking, UFO's & soc sec (???)

Anyway my point is this - the only ammunition they have is name-calling. There are no facts on their side that they can use against us, so all they can do is name-call.

They would be so much wiser if they would just say that "yes, it's important that elections be credible and verifiable and we should do what needs to be done to ensure that that occurs." Why would they rather be name-callers???

1. The only way they know to fight is to spin, spin, spin.

Sometimes the Repugs spin so much they get dizzy and throw up. Then a little bit of the truth comes out. They have no facts or figures to fight back with because they can't recognize the truth anymore.

[cry baby]

9. The sad fact is that spin works. We must spin in our direction

immediately to counteract the "You lost - get over it" arguement.

2. Its nice having the facts on your side

but republicans have a way with words (name calling, lying, changing the subject) that gets attention. I hope people who see this stick around to hear the actual reasons for contesting.

3. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

I see pitchforks and torches in the background!

4. Standard modus operandi from Rethugs:Attack messenger, not the message

Fear and smear--it is what the party of Karl Rove specializes in. They are not fit to govern this dying democracy--and dying it is, without our steadfast involvement.

5. Same as is always was.

6. "Our side' has to stick to the point...

no matter how hard and not get distracted by anything that pulls them away from their proof. No defense, no response to ANYTHING other than the fraud and other voting problems. and they have to HAMMER it in.

7. The good news is, they're off their game, and getting worse all the time..

... can it be that some of the GOP'ers can't stomach what they're doing any more?

8. If someone out there were smart, they would turn this into a golden

opportunity to highlight the Republican party as the one that is not interested in voter's rights. Loud and long. Sound bites from big shots, lots of them. Go on the attack people (elected officials), sheesh!

10. They are going to be massively outmatched come 1:00pm

If the media decides to cover this thing at all, there will be lots of new people joining our fight by tonight.

Dem: Facts, facts, facts, facts..
Rep: (with fingers in his ears) Shut up poopie head.
Dem: More facts, facts, facts, facts..
Rep: (sticking out tongue) Un-American! Unpatriotic! Against us.. blah blah..

11. watch out for the trump card

when 'moderate' joe lieberman sides with the 'poopie head' shouters...followed immediately by MSM analysis of the bi-partisan nature of the conclusion that dems who want fair, clean elections must truly be 'poopie heads'. After all, 'one of their own' says so. Just like all those Repub bills that passed with 50 repubs + Zell Miller, calling those votes bipartisan too.

14. Realism sets in.

13. I think you'll be surprised.

12. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you

then they fight you, then we win.

Yeah baby.
