We Have Bush Down--Now Dems Need to Wise Up
Why, indeed, I have been happy as a pig in poop to see the plummeting overall approval numbers of Bush. But, if you want a real high, look within these current polls when specific issues and areas are addressed. I’d like to talk about that--and I’m going to be brutal because some things need to be said.

Notice that there has been a big jump in “ not giving a shit about Iraq” (so to speak). The people don’t like this fun war anymore. They don’t like a dead soldier a day and all that money being dished out to those foreigners. We tried to tell the morons this before the war; but the morons called that “unpatriotic” and “treason”. That’s the problem with morons. Morons need to be kicked in the head and bleed in order to get the bare fragments of a thought moving through their heads.

There is also soaring dissatisfaction with the economy with the noticeable difference that this time they are beginning to blame Bush (they didn’t in the midterms). Again, talking to the morons even a year ago was pissing into the wind. The morons have to lose the paycheck or begin being real scared that they will in order to get that first twinge of thinking going.

And there are many more such categories within these polls that are not good for Bush: i.e., “is the country going in the right or wrong direction”; or “which party works for the rich/working man“. Enter stage LEFT (drum roll, please) the Democrats. This is where they need to THINK---and I’ve not seen a lot of that yet.

They see this. They high-five. And they think now is the time to tell the people about their agendas, platforms, positions, programs and plans. For the sake of almighty God, do they fail to understand that they are still dealing with the same MORONS?? Just because the morons are falling out of love with Bush, does NOT mean they are seeking knowledge; sitting at the feet of Dems and saying “please enlighten me”, etc. They are still fucking political morons and still have no desire to learn squat about politics or the running of this nation!!! So...what should we do???

Our main mission in ’04 needs to be keeping Bush’s numbers going down. Our mission needs to be to make him one year from now thirteen thousand times less popular with the American people than Gray Davis is with the people of CA. If we make him hated, we can put anyone into the Oval Office; if we go on a “issues” jag and thus let this bastard make even one inch of progress back upwards in the numbers, he will burn our asses off in ’04. We need to keep him down and drive him further down before the media begins their adoration and sales job next summer and into the fall. We need to make their efforts one of “too little, too late”.

We need first and foremost to destroy Bush. They need to criticize him, call him a liar, expose him, dig up shit from his past, etc. (anything and everything) and keep the full court press on to personally mutilate this zero---my god, how hard can that be given this pathetic scum!!! They need to first develop the desire to do so and in one big gang bang keep pushing, pushing, pushing. We cannot let him get back up again. We cannot bore the general American voters (a different breed from the political junkies who vote in primaries) with yack, yack, shit. If we don’t personally destroy him and his regime in the eyes of these voters, he and the repukes will destroy us. In fact, think about it. This is exactly how the repukes have been so successful. They haven’t presented “positions” to morons; they have presented honed in, personal destruction and stupid Madison Avenue jingles to the morons...and the morons have fallen for it every time. We have to wise up!! We are not dealing with intellectuals. We are dealing with Seasame Street mentality and if we make it more complicated than that, we cannot beat this flag waving bastard.

2. How I would love to see
the Dems get together and smash this scumbag! I don't see it happening. You are so right about this. Perhaps we will see this begin when we have a candidate and people get behind him and push. We will see.

3. That's a homerun.
I just ordered a "DefeatW" personalized license plate. I'm gonna talk about what a moran Jr. is and work for his defeat. It's number one on my agenda. Just need to find a candidate.

4. Ding Ding Ding!
You're right on the money. Talking issues with morans is not how to win. One has to incite emotions. I'll say it again. One has to incite emotions to get them to move. And they have to be negative emotions. Happy people do nothing. To get people to vote, they must be profoundly unhappy.

5. Once the nominee is decided
and that will probably be Kerry, I think there will be a great deal of unity behind this man to take Bush out of office, not to worry.

6. And keep on him, even beyond '04...
without getting all :tinfoilhat: on you, please keep in mind that the Bush Family are but one powerful tentacle of the "power elite". Getting W out of office may only be a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

The whole corrupt junta needs to go down. Investigate, discredit, and, evidence warranting it, punish.

Chase them out of power, right into prison, or they'll just regroup.

8. Good point
And a scarry thought, too. There's Jeb waiting on deck and Jenna looks like she's going to take after dear old dad. At least she drinks like him.

9. Canuck--EXACTLY what was also going through my mind today
a deposed Papa was the force behind the dogging of Clinton for 8 years. These people are dangerous. The are organized crime. God help the Dem that gets into office. He needs to go out and cut the legs off the demon. He needs to go after Falwell and Robertson and expose their con game with all the forces of the FBI and the IRS. He needs to go after the Limbaughs of this nation using the bully pulpit to tell the people they are destroying this nation, etc. A new president has to go after the pathetic morons these criminals have cultivated to keep themselves in office....in fact, god knows what they will do to this nation. They will kill people if need be to prove that a Dem can't govern. They ARE the evil.

12. And, again this is tinfoil hat optional...
"...They will kill people if need be to prove that a Dem can't govern. They ARE the evil..."

I absolutely believe they have. JFK, RFK, Wellstone, the attempts on Daschle and Wallace (Wallace would have split the RW vote with Nixon, potentially allowing a Dem to get in).

Furthermore (this is where the :tinfoilhat: can come in handy), Hinckley, Chapman, and Jim Jones can all be tied to the CIA, as, of couse, can Oswald and Ray.



And so on, and so on, and so on...

10. Tinfoil hat or no.............
I agree with your first statement, in that whoever 'they' want to be on the Democratic ticket will be on the Democratic ticket. It'll either be someone who is in the pocket of the moneyed elite or someone who is in the pocket of the moneyed elite.

Why anyone thinks that this government is "by the people, for the people" is honestly beyond me. We have a government by the wealthy and powerful, for the wealthy and powerful.

We don't have a democracy; never have, never will.

15. I agree with "never have", but...
...the "never will", part is up to you (us).

16. quinnox--even so,
I hope that the Dems spend 25% of their time and money pitching their own wares and 75% of their time and money grinding this bastard into the dust. They need to make the name Bush register in people's minds as: Liar, stupid, puppet, corporate whoremaster, etc. That is the only way to make the people immune to Bush's $200 million campaign blitz telling them he is God.

7. You are right
A great summary of how the Republicans operate. Forget the health care policy speeches--cocentrate on Iraq and the economy and what a mess we are in. It wouldn't hurt to emphasize what a disaster we are going to be handing to our children also...

14. I don't believe....
...it should be the job of the candidate to do the shredding. The candidate should stay above the fray and let the politicos do the work. As Bush did.

13. I see some criticism in editorials, but Dem candidates are not
hitting it hard enough. (People don't read editorial pages) They watch TV and listen to radio. While we can't win on the radio (almost all owned by Rpigs), there may be a chance to get some messages out on TV "News", but that's controlled too. The dirty bastard Bush is down now, and looking more stupid, more boring and more out of touch. The cable "news" are working hard for him, but I think its not working as well as it did 6 months ago for the dirty bastards.
