Proven repuke strategies turned up "to eleven"
So far, we've already got:

FUD FUD FUD--FEAR UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT full blast--terrorists are gong to kill you in your sleep tonight if you don't vote for repukes

Manipulate the energy markets--Dems in power, prices mysteriously go way up right before an election; repukes in power, prices (although still a buck more a gallon than before the coup of 2000) mysteriously go way down right before an election

Blame Clinton--for 9-11, Osama, the existence of terrorists, the lack of peace in the ME, Babs Bush's repulsive looks . . .

War, war war--continuing in Iraq (although we rarely hear of it) and threats to invade Iran (but the lack of peace in the ME is CLINTON'S FAULT!)

"robust" economy--your three part-time jobs instead of one full-time one prove it

jingoism--Dems want to let the Mexicans come take your job away, umm, that is IF you have a job, Dems don't want English to be the official language

relifious insanity--Dems are backed by Satan; repukes are chosen by gawdalmighty to lead us into the rapture


This country has gone completely mad.

1. But what if we don't buy their bullshit this time? It's possible.
And God, do I hope for it.

Of course, I know that "we" in the sense of DUers, have NEVER bought their bullshit; I'm referring to "we" as in the general populace.

3. they are so obviously desperate
they've resorted to a complete "kitchen sink" approach, screaming everything that has ever worked for them at the top of their media-fueled lungs.

2. FUD is an excellent sales pitch
its a funny one to make fun of,
when the real risks are not in keeping with the disheartening tightness.

People want more fear uncertainlty and doubt, let them vote for that.. stupids why hold off their
meeting with the destiny gods that would have long ago darwin'ed them away had life been truly
a thing of intelligence or behavioural health.

FUCK FUD. Why are *you* talking about fear, are you afraid, how does
that make you feel, what does it feel like to be really terrorized
and republican, what is it about being a cowardly ass that makes
republicans so predictable?

5. It works for all the crappers
When to the day when a business sold sunshine.

6. All that, and the weak accusation that...
..."the Democrats have no ideas." :puke:

NGU.
