LET'S SHARPEN THE DEMS MESSAGE AND DEFINE WHAT THEY STAND FOR!!!

[DelPotro]

These are intended to sharpen the Dems' message, defining what they stand for and how they’re different from Republicans.

1. "We Surrender."

2. "Please don't yell at us, we're frightened."

3. "Would you like us to roll over on our backs now, or do you prefer that we remain on our knees?"

4. "Let's bomb Iran."

5. "We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Big Business."

6. "We stand for rule by a kinder, gentler military-industrial complex."

7. "What's good for MobilExxon, Citicorp, and Northrop-Grumman is good for America."

8. "If you like venal cowards and betrayal, vote for us!"

9. "Please don't ask us to stand up to the Republicans. They get very angry if anyone opposes them -- and it's really scary!!

5. it's not so much message, but policy coupled to message:

Americans hate turd-polishing as much as the turd; like the Congressional Dems' declaring that, now that the health insurance bill was passed, the only task now was to "get the American people behind it": they decide, we're watch our propaganda video and obey

we need good policies, not corporatist gruel
