Wait, Republicans are mad at Dems/Liberals because we started
acting just like they did?

(Mind you, we are not at anywhere near the intensity of their "Torture and a slow death is not good enough for Clinton, be it Bill or Hillary")

Prime example.

Us: "Wait, the President lied. That's grounds for impeachment, according to your standards."

Them (essentially their pat answer): "Quit playing partisan politics! We're at war! You must support the President, because the President is the troops, and if you don't support the President, then you're with the terrorists"

swamp of hypocrisy. It makes my job of tearing them up so much easier!

I hate to say this, but the GOP has the incredible capacity for self destruction. I hate that because I can't take credit for their demise, damn, that just pisses me off!

In any case....It is good to see them sink in their own filth, and if they expect me to toss out a life preserver, forget it.

:kick:

4. stupid (and unethical) debate tricks
1) frame the argument. never allow your opponent to outline the params. change the params to suit the current conditions.

2) Take advantage of memory hole.

3) Use projection. If you've done something wrong, project this on your opponent.

These are pretty much standard tactics, and as long as we accept these rules, we'll never win, because it's impossible to win against a playing field controlled by the opposing team.

6. We have to make use of our anger
somehow. It's sincere and truthful, and has a lot of power.
We need to stop it with the disingenuity AND with the partisan stuff. We need to stop, get our priorities straight, get angry, and make an effort to FIX things. We need to take initiative.

7. They are mad because we are fighting back
all thing rethuglican are all about hypocrisy, from politicians to enforcing the law to the media hacks and on down

Ken Lay - Free
M. Stewart - trying to send her to jail (she is a dem donor)

Rush- rehab
T Chong - in jail (for selling glass, for petes sake)

Arnie - big time sex harassment - now governor
BC - 20 million spent to investigate harassment charges for a woman who later posed in playboy


Man C writes book about liberals and "treason" - goes on media blitz, when the two most obvious examples of treason are rethugs...

Rethug Linda Tripp and LuciAnn however actually hatch a plan to destroy a president, treason for partisan politics
Rethugs leak Wilson story, treason for partisan politics

Ok to lie, abuse drugs, make racists statements, gamble away millions, steal taxpayers blind, all as long as you hate dems, whoops I mean "liberals". Did I mention that when reThugs commit Adultery - well that just doesn't count. And what was Bush the firsts girlfriends name anyway, and did Babs know? I think she did.


Please don't get me started on other reThug criminals, how about the child sex abuser Thug mayor, or the one governor that ran down a pedestrian. Or the kibillions of shady business deals that reTugs love starting with our scary Vice P.

Or how about the blatant power grab going on in Texas, or what just happened in CA.

It is absolutely sickening.

8. I've always felt
the true motto of the RNC is "How dare you do to us what we do to you. It's illegal, immoral and we just won't stand for it!" As stated above they can dish it out, but when it comes back at them, whoa that's a different story.
