Republicans should be painted as Unpatriotic and enemies of the Working Class. |
|
Remember how the neocons painted anyone who opposed their war as being unpatriotic? Its time to take page out of their playbook. Anyone who opposes Obama's stimulus plan should be labeled as enemy of the people and un-American.

1. That's not 'painting' them, its simply providing an accurate description of the situation. |

3. I prefer to think of it as a clairification, you got it dead right the first time |
|
That is exactly what they are doing and you are exactly right to call them on it. I congratulate you and encourage you to, as they used to say in the military, 'continue to march'.

6. They absolutely take pride in that fact. It's part of their foundation.. |
|
Ever hear a right winger bloviate about public sector workers/unions/blue collar workers, etc.?
They hate us, no two ways about it. And they revel in it.

7. Umm,..... Painted by whom? |
|
The mainstream media? The democratic party? (they aren't going to do it) Or a mere handful of dissident, decent-minded journalists? The DU certainly does it, but the DU is far from being a part of the daily diet of information experienced by the average citizen. The loss (or the GOP corporate ruling class "purchase/appropriation") of the news media following Watergate is a serious loss. The bastards even said at the time that, "We will not let the Press beat us again." So the news media became corporate-directed.
Gotta have the press on our side. So,... how do you (we) get it back? (Hint: They're not looking to control the Internet for no reason.) And it needs to be soon.

8. I think that is a good working description of the NeoCons. |
|
Probably sums up their entire "philosophy" very well.
They are the scum of the earth.

When anyone even criticized Bush Republicans called them America haters, and un-American. Bill O'Reilly called people who disagreed with Bush un-American traitors. He said you must support the president, espcially in a time of war, or you are an un-American traitor.
He even had law experts on and asked them if they could be tried for sedition, just because they disagreed with Bush. And yet look at them now, they oppose everything Obama does, but the right-wingers are silent.
The Democratic party should label them un-American traitors who hate Obama, and they want the economy to crash for political reasons, so they can win re-election, and try to gain some Congressional seats back.
Which is the truth, these POS Republicans could care less if the economy tanks, and in fact, they want it to tank. Then they can blame it on Obama, and say the stimulus bill was a waste of money and did not work. They are un-American jerks who voted no on the stimulus bill for partisan political reasons, they put politics ahead of the good of the country.
In 2010 the people need to vote all these traitors out of office, and get someone in there who will vote for the good of the country, not to win a re-election.
