GOP Adviser: This is '94 In Reverse, We're Pathetic

Republicans are pretending to change.
Ok folks, Republicans have just put you on notice. They are going to pretend they are 'differnent now'..they learned their lesson...they are FINALLY going to start listening to you...just as soon as you elect John McCain..then every little ting gonna be alright.

They're going to 're-brand' themselves like a tube of toothpaste. Just change the packaging and promise MORE things whether it actually delivers on the promise or not. It's just a question of 'marketing' the message a certain way. But the question is---what kind of policies will turn up AFTER the election??
It was only a matter of time until everybody caught on to the Rovian tactics. Now Repubs will have to just lie outright. posted 05/15/2008 at 10:33:01

New York Times Lets Rove Skate On McCain Advisory Role

Rove is refusing to testify in the investigation of the Alabama Gov. Siegelman case--which looks to be like a political prosecution to help a Republican keep his office. Again, no accountability for this administration and the NUMEROUS acts it has done behind closed doors--all in the name of politics and WINNING--at any cost. No doubt Rove will cry 'executive privilege'---only now it's beginning to look like the 'privilege' to get away with illegal, unethical acts.

Rove is a known crook who has helped to undermine our electoral system. No wonder he's on Fox News now. posted 05/13/2008 at 10:00:56

Abortion Group Launches Robocall Attack On Obama In Indiana

I wish the media would start exposing these ProLifers for what they are--proponents of setting up a fastrack to making the United States a Third World Nation. Jobs go overseas..layoffs are continuous and often multiple...can't afford the gas to get to work...food prices going up...healthcare out of sight with one party only offering 'tax credits' on what you can't afford in the FIRST place!...increased household debt and people not being able to save...just HOW are we supposed to support these additional children??

Obama Backer: Irreparable Breach Between Clinton And Blacks Is Foreseeable

Anyone who amplifies the divide in the democratic part, from what is essentially the normal competitive process of running in a primary, is surely shooting themselves in the foot. So are those who 'won't vote for the other guy'--a definite case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. The right wing media is helping to hype this divide and these conflicts--and everybody better understand this. They 'use' whatever is available to advance their own interests. Let's not help them with further antagonism. This is a process. It must be gone through. Sometimes it gets rough. We can handle this. posted 04/25/2008 at 15:59:31

Democrats Launch Ad Targeting McCain

What I'm wondering is, can McCain win the presidency honestly, without all the right wing smears??
He's touting himself as such a 'man of honor' and straight talk...a REAL hero....but the GOP is already smearing Obama in new ads. McCain is telling them not to but they're doing it anyway. Doesn't that really smear McCain's good name as well?? It allows him a kind of 'good cop/bad cop' deniability but it STILL reflects on him if he's depending on the right wing smear machine to help get him in.

I challenge you, Senator McCain, to win this office WITHOUT the right wing smearing the opposition for you. posted 04/25/2008 at 11:25:35

Fox News Finally Lands Obama Interview, "Obama Watch" To End

Obama is learning exactly how underhanded these right wing media outlets can be--'churning' the Rev. Wright story , over & over, 24/7. It's called 'hyping the story until its magnified to gigantic proportions'. Fox News and right wing talk radio leads the effort--and in fact, Fox has NOT LET A DAY GO BY that they haven't 'churned' both the story and the videotape, even on the Greta Von Susteren show! And of course Rush and Hannity and others do the same..until the mainstream media picks it up and starts churning it too. Then, of course it looks HUMONGOUS!! And Obama can NEVER ANSWER THE STORY ENOUGH!
The right fears an Obama candidacy--they will be impeded in fighting him. And their right wing online activists will inevitably sound racist--which will hurt them in the end, and they KNOW it.



Don't be scammed again. You've seen how they've done it in the past. posted 04/25/2008 at 15:55:39

US GIs in Iraq Suffer Worst Week of '08

There's a serious and obvious 'disconnect' between Bush's 'illusion' of Iraq and the reality. That's that 'funny feeling' you have about Iraq, folks. That feeling that it's not going well though you are 'shown' these vague tiny ways that's going 'fine, just fine'. We've been encouraged to disregard our instincts for a long time now by these Republican and their 24/7 propaganda outlets...we've encourage to 'hope' when there is no plan to 'hope' on. We've been encouraged to vote against OUR OWN INTERESTS, with a lot of slogans and happy talk that doesn't amount to much more than helping out the rich and powerful. And the Repubs are STILL doing it--still hoping against hope that they can DUPE US one more time in November. Hoping they can WHIP UP enough fear to get themselves in power another 4 years so they can finish pillaging the treasury and expanding oil interests in the mideast--and let US pick up the bill for it. They are not above ANY 'fake terror threat' to do it either--as they have well proven time and again.

General Won't Promise More Iraq Pullouts

Notice how many times the word 'precipitous' is linked with the term 'withdrawal' of our troops. This is Rovian control of language at its best. Even mainstream media is using it as a sort of 'shorthand.'
Never 'controlled'..or 'careful'...or 'measured' withdrawal...ALWAYS ' precipitous'..as if they is NO OTHER WAY to withdraw our troops, and as if there NO ONE could EVER conjure up another way. Always linking 'precipitous' and 'withdrawal'...rather in the same way this administration used to link '9-11' and Saddam!

Control of the language is power, people.

Let's not be fooled again. posted 04/08/2008 at 13:20:31

Ever wonder why media gives McCain's senior moments and lobbyist campaigners get such a pass, while Obama's and Hillary's mistakes get ALL the media hype 'churned' day and night for weeks?

And mainstream media always has to cover the biggest 'media noise' and since the right wing 'churns' stories about Democrats , you never hear about the downside of Republican candidates...until it's too late. posted 03/26/2008 at 10:09:07

Obama Tells Smerconish That He Confronted Wright On Statements

This flap about Obama's '20 yr association with Rev. Wright' is hilarious, when you consider that the Republicans have been consorting with people like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson for AT LEAST that amount of time. EVen when some people in their OWN PARTY are wondering why Repubs are messing in this stuff!

In fact, that's probably why they hold so fast to that evangelical social agenda..they can count on the tv and radio preachers to help push the Republican agenda to a readymade media audience, and the Repubs would NEVER HAVE TO PAY A CENT for the political advertising. It completely skirts the election laws...it's free political air time. And all they have to DO for all that is promise to stop abortion, keep withholding rights from homosexuals and let the religious groups dip into the public treasury for 'faith based' programs (without any accountability).



Wow!! What a deal! No WONDER the Repubs cater to people like Robertson and Falwell and Hagee and such! It's like free money!
