We need to CONTINUALLY attack the Republicans, put them on the defensive
They have done it to us for years. So f****g what if our words aren't perfect ? As long as we have our facts straight, we will push them into a corner. The facts need to get out there, and the more NEWSWORTHY (i.e., sensational) they are, the more they will get out there. The media only cares about making money, and SENSATION/DRAMA makes them money.

4. Put the heat on the lukewarm milquetoast DINOs
Don't stop. Bury these wimps in an avalanche of anger. Crush wussies like Joe Lieberman in an overhwhelming and distressing show of anger with his pathetic rubber-spined capitulation to the fundamentalists.

Call. Mail. Protest. Scream. Do whatever it takes.

The time is NOW

6. The solution to a bully is to punch him really hard in the nose just once.
Bullies pick on easy targets.

10. What they NEED to do is encourage "PLAIN SPEAKING."
When confronted by a lying pundit or Republican, I too often hear: "I don't think that is true," or "I believe the facts..."

What they NEED to start doing is CONFRONTING thse lying bastards, saying: "No. You're a LIAR."

Not: "That's a lie," but "YOU are a LIAR."

The sheeple will not begin to understand that they are being taken for a ride until they are TOLD and TOLD and TOLD AGAIN what a batch of corrupt and lying bastards lead their beloved USA...

13. This is true. Plain talk. Simple truths. REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Sorry to yell. But I'm doing it ANYWAY!!! :D

Just like bush himself has recommended: repeat something over and over and over to "sort of catapult the propaganda."

THAT is how it's done. Just like the proverbial Chinese water torture. Drip-drip-drip. Over and over and over. Again and again and again. Until it FINALLY sinks in and takes root, and has an effect, and produces results.

Yes. Absolutely. No more dancing around, trying to be polite. NO MORE of this "well, my opponent makes a good point, but..." or other waffling or trying to be nice and tidy about it. CALL 'EM WHAT THEY ARE. LIARS!!!!!

That has to be repeated, along with the idea of IMPEACHMENT, so the media finally has to pick up on it, too. NO MORE "Prevaricating President" or "...may have misrepresented..." or "possible exaggerations of the facts..." or any of that pussy crap. Sorry. I'm getting coarse here. But that's what it is.

It's LIES. By a LIAR. By a whole cabal of LIARS and ENABLERS and APOLOGISTS.

And all any "enablers" and "apologists" on our side have to say to redirect the heat back where it belongs and explain their own motivations and make their own mea culpas is: "...because I TRUSTED my president, and he LIED to me." Ten words. That's all it takes. Contradicta once went on and on about "it's SIXTEEN WORDS!" That was their spin out of bush's reckless statement about the purported nukes-from-Niger scam in his State of the Union address. "It's 16 WORDS!!!" Well, Contradicta, WE'LL GIVE YOU TEN WORDS. Howdya like those?
