Bush to huddle with Repubs today to discuss election strategy

[kentuck]

After the weeklong propaganda campaign, including the ABC movie, Mr Bush has seen his approval ratings shoot up to 42%. And they are moving upward and upward until November, he will tell the Republican caucus. Get behind the war and paint the Democrats as friends of the terrorists and we will maintain the House and the Senate. And we expect Rick to pull out his race also, he will say. United we stand and divided we fall, he will say. But he will be talking about the Republican Party - not the country.

5. 10 Steps to Securing a Win (right out of Blackwell's playbook)

an earlier post I made:

GOP dirty tricks: 10 STEPS TO SECURING A WIN FOR YOUR PARTY (right out of Ken Blackwell's playbook)

1. Above all other things put in place a fully trained sympathetic Secretary of State-a position more important than the governor because those who count the votes are more important than the actual voters and how they vote. Make him a multi-millionaire while in office.
2. Misallocate machines to suburban area (esp mega churches who have received faith based $) and away from high dem precincts.
3. Send the oldest most unreliable machines to those high dem (frequently inner city) precincts
4. Forbid election protection or oversea observers anywhere near polling places.
5. Change precinct locations in inner city, African American, Native American , and Hispanic neighborhoods shortly before elections.
6. Have the state GOP send out certifed letters to high Dem precincts, when they are not signed for then assume the voters hav emoved and inform the SOS to remove them (purge) from their voter registrations lists.
7. Distribute false information about previous parking tickets, or other such misinfo to low income inner city neighborhoods causing confusion on date and location of vote..
8. Have this SOS institute directives that must be challenged in court (which of course takes time + money. ex: paper weight for registrations.) While it is being challenged have GOP operatives discard registrations from certain zipcodes (high dem)
9. SOS should issue poor placed signs to poorly trained poll workers, especially in high Dem areas. This will allow for confusion if more than one precinct is in poll location. If voters go to wrong line issue them a provisional ballot (mandated under HAVA with the intention of placating the disenfranchised all while discarding their votes.)
10. Add similar sounding names of certain ethnicities to be added to the purged list (can't be too careful-Choicepoint taught us that in 2,000)


*an added bonus will be if you can convince the state legislature to implement a VOTER ID (with strict limitations-photo, state issued with correct address) thus institution a poll tax on those who are low income, elderly, college students (we don't need any free thinkers votin') and least able to afford the extra cost of ID, and might not have qualifying IDs. This will also aid in confusion on elelction day in precincts where these folks live, adding a bottleneck (read: more long lines) where these voters vote.

6. You know what's really sad about that?

The line: "Get behind the war and paint the Democrats as friends of the terrorists".

As far as this voter is concerned, Bush and his cronies have done more to help the terrorists than anything the Dems have done. Why just look at all them new training camps they opened up for them in Iraq.

8. this is nothing but slime for their strategy

totally disgusting, and wait for the ads of hate to come out.

[whistle]

7. The Enron Ken Lay/Jeff Skilling leadership style

[Supersedeas]

10. apparently he is only president of...

republican voters, all others need not apply.

11. How come the Dems aren't doing the exact same thing?

How come we are ALWAYS caught with our pants down around our ankles?!?!!

[kentuck]

12. Because we are Democrats...

We do not like to follow leaders.
