A Target Rich Environment
Over the past 3 months the Republican party and the Bush Administration has been kind enough to provide us with a Target Rich Environment. We had the wonderful “up or down votes” for the federal court nominees, we have the Downing Street Memos, we have Plamegate, we have King George hiding out while Cindy Sheehan sat right outside his Dude ranch, we had the end run appointment of the Bolton Bomb to the UN, we have the current Robert’s appointment as the Chief Justice, and now we have the aftermath of Katrina and the complete failure of the administration to deal with any portion of that disaster quickly or effectively.
Man, that’s a lot of screwing up! How can we get rid of this moron that brought us all of these “wonderful” events?
The secret to the Republican’s success throughout events like this, of course, is the massive spin machine. Round and round and round she goes, where she’s stops nobody knows, or at least that’s what they hope for. Keep it spinning long enough with enough riders and no one will care anymore just who, what and where is on the merry-go-round.
Just like parents confronted with teenagers trying to avoid the “blame game” you have to meet spin head on and do a sudden stop on the merry go wrong. Just like the childs plaything, stop it suddenly and all the riders get flung from it for everyone to see.
When the republican’s bring up the Blame game, don’t back off it. Say, instead, DAMN RIGHT WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT! But we call it ACCOUNTABILITY! Call them on the carpet in the house, in the senate, in EVERY speech that gets done. Work to get aid and help to where it needs to go, but don’t let the blame game spin machine get up to speed. Yank on that one hard, right now, and the spin stops, they have no back up plan and can’t have on this issue.
When the republican’s bring up Roberts, Bring up Brown and his lack of qualifications and what that did to NO. After all Roberts has less time on the bench total than most of the Supreme court Justices have on the SCOTUS and he’s being nominated for CHIEF JUSTICE. Qualified?… don’t think so. Equate him with Political Cronyism and cast him in that light. We’ve just had one disaster due to it, do we really want a 30 YEAR disaster due to the same damn thing.
When they accuse you of supporting our enemies because you don’t support the Shrub, call them out on exactly how many enemies of the state King George has created in Iraq. Seems like that would have to be oh…. A lot more people hating the US than my mere talking will ever incense.
Keep everything in the press. If OUR press won’t carry it, get it to the british press, the French press, German etc. They will carry it. It took time, but eventually the DSMs hit the US MSM from it’s coverage overseas.
The trick now, is to stop the spin. When they try to start it up, directly confront them at the Senate, HoR leadership level, consistently and working together, and Rove will find out that the grease is gone on the merry go round, and the bag of tricks is empty.
Eh... I feel better now...;p
