We need a "What they say"/What they've done"
list/fixed thread in each topic forum?/entry in Demopedia? to keep a succinct running list of talking point issues to counteract the PR crap coming out of the GOP. Between that Rice woman and Niger Innis on CSPAN this morning, I began to think in terms of counteracting the wishful thinking of the GOP with being able to take their wishful sales pitches with a good old dose of reality. What they've promised in the past and what they delivered. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Perhaps this needs to be a daily exercise on our part. The DNC and the Dem leaders don't seem to have an organized effort to track and disseminate this type of information. It needs to be plainspeak and not full of jargon; applicable in simple terms the average Joe's life. Perhaps printable as FAQ sheets.

They said what? What makes you think that they will do this? In the past 4 years this is what they've done. That's the idea anyway.

Make sense? If something like this exists, I apologize for my ignorance.

1. Great idea.
Randi Rhodes keeps talking about writing a book of examples of GOP hypocrites.

2. I agree Skidmore....
Maybe it would be possible to have a fixed thread in one of the smaller forums or groups where people could be directed to find lies & RW talking points as well as talk versus behavior (for example:They say they support the troops but cut VA funding & benefits).

I think that it is important that we have comprehensive lists like this that are easy to find.
