Their new talking point exposed
Theyre saying even with the Repubs imploding the Dems are not picking up any steam. At first I thought it was just coincidences but its happening way too much. Ive heard it a bunch of times. The Dems are clueless, they have no plans, they have no credible candidates blah blah blah, despite the many crimes of the RNC of late.. In other words were sooo bad, we cant touch them (even with the many crimes and corruptions.

They figure if you say this enough, people start believing it. Remember flip flop. Say it enough , it sticks .

The way to fix this is to go on OFFENSE. Do not answer their questions. Ask your own and make them answer your charges, which are many. Dont allow them to frame this debate. We frame the debate. They go on defense and answer for the shit theyve done. That should be easy. You have so much ammo.

1. I don't understand why the Dems aren't swarming the airwaves.
Biden is on a talking head program tomorrow:boring:, as is Daschle :wtf: Oh, and Dr. Dean is also on somewhere. But we need many strong voices pointing out the error of their ways. We know the media is not our friend!

5. Swarming does no good if you are not "invited" to be on air

Democrats control access to NO "programs".. There are no democrat-leaning show hosts with enough gumption to go against the parent company's formula:

1 wishywashy dem (Donna Brazile, Bob Shrum, Zell Miller et al ) vs 3 pit-bull republicans ..

republicans can and are encouraged to interrupt said dem at every oppportunity, and if said dem is about to make a salient point, host is to say :

"Sorry, we are out of time"..

6. I would love to know if any attempts are made by Dems that are
rebuffed, and if that's the case, perhaps the public should be made aware of that (though I get the Catch-22; who'd report it?). It's very frustrating.

2. Its not just a talking point
Did you see the whole Alito thing unfold. They should have all been on the same page and instead they were all over the place with a pathetic filibuster attempt. Alito was announced back in what, October(?), and right near the end it looked like the opponents were making up their plans as they went along. They had three months to figure out what their plan was and to get everyone on the same page. I know I'm shooting from the sidelines, but shesh...

3. It's a Talking Point using Alito hearings as a springboard.
The secondary line of attack is Angry Dems.
