Kick 'em while they're down...
While they're steaming and choking on their own bile, the Democrats should begin the immigration debate. That could be the issue that sends them all over the edge? We may need some more public projects started to build more insane asylums? They are on the verge of total collapse. Enjoy it! Kick 'em again. Harder!

1. I think DADT would sting them more, plus that's way overdue...n/t

2. Yes, that can be done also.
Keep 'em off-balance and flinging shit at each other. Play offense for a spell.

6. Either would work. DADT plays on the repubs' homophobia, immigration reform on their racism.
Either will keep them fired up and frothing at the mouth. EFCA and financial reform should be on the agenda between now and November, too. Keep them on the defensive and show that we can govern.

3. I turn 47 years old this month...
and I now refer to the Dem HCR as the biggest defeat for the Republicans in my lifetime.
Usually I get a response that states this is not the biggest defeat, so I then ask what is a bigger defeat than HCR.

It makes their heads explode!

4. My Gunny taught me...
Not only kick when they're down.. that's a good tactical move incidentally.. but he also suggested kicking them in the head.

Now is not the time for bipartisanship with people who think Dems are satanic. Now is the time to go after Boner, the Repubs, and whatever issues the Dems actually give a shit about.

They won't, but I can dream.

5. And make sure to twist the knife
The best way to do that is to introduce legislation to tweak the bill in the Progressive direction, every 3 months or so.

We can keep that up for five, ten years or more.

9. Let's throw all sorts of issues at them
Then they'll be hitting their rabid base for so many donations all at once, that the Freepturds will go broke.

Once in financial ruin, they'll have to face how the other half lives, and that's the one thing sure to make a person vote Democratic.

I'm only half-joking here...though they'll never donate themselves into poverty, hitting them with several issues at once WOULD put a hell of a strain on the Repukes' coffers.

:evilgrin:
