Top Bush Advisor Proclaims Mandate
From Associated Press

February 18, 2005

WASHINGTON — Karl Rove, President Bush's top political strategist, pronounced conservatism the "dominant political creed in America" on Thursday and coached fellow conservatives on how to support his boss.

"The next time one of your smarty-pants liberal friends says to you, 'Well, he didn't have a mandate,' you tell him of this delicious fact: This president got a higher percentage of the vote than any Democratic candidate for president since 1964," Rove said.
<snip>

Rove, appointed White House deputy chief of staff last week, told a gathering at the Conservative Political Action Conference that Bush was committed to the members' ideas of fostering morality and values, including protecting the culture of life for every human person — a goal that generated applause from the crowd at the Ronald Reagan Building.<snip>

1. They are extremely good at defining us.
How the heck can they get away with calling us "tax and spend liberals" when they spend more than we do and run up huge deficits? At least we pay our bills.

Where, indeed, is the lib think tank that generates words and phrases for us to define them?

We've been way too nice for way too long. Time to start nailing the bastards.

2. Dean: As chairman I will not let them continue to frame the debate
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 12:51 PM by papau
I hope this is true.

( ..."The highlight of the night came in the phase of the debate when panelists were invited to ask questions. Perle had just spoken for a while, trashing the Dems on national security as usual. The panel then asked Dean an unrelated question. Before responding to that question, the Good Doctor said to Perle something like "Before I respond I want to say that Richard has attempted to do something that I'm not going to let him get away with, and that is frame the debate. As chairman I don't intend to let them continue to frame the debate." http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/18/2535/72934 )

Thursday's "debate" recast on C-Span tomorrow.

Here you go.

Of course, Lakoff is nicer than I am. The neocons are the German Brownshirts of the 1930s. And fascists. Tell 'em that.

3. Rove spewed red meat for the crowd
and the media serves steak tartar

:grr:

I've been seeing some fast changes with the Democrats, though. I'm not sure if Harry Reid deserves the credit, but that's where I'd put it at this point. Watching and listening to liberal advocates, they appear more cohesive in the message.

It's definitely an uphill battle though. The media's calendar is full of the CONS.
