Republicans can say absolutely anything, even lie and contradict themselve |
|
themselves. Nothing is out of bounds for them, and no one says a word.
But if Dean so much as sneezes out of tune, EVERYONE jumps all over him - the media, republicans, even democrats!
This is driving me CRAZY

I brought up Dean today and all I heard them bitch about was the 'I hate republicans' line.
I asked them who the RNC chairman was and they didn't know. I just had to laugh at that.

2. yes,... when they were all calling us traitors, no one said a word |
|
when they sqaushed dissent with talk of treason, no one said a word.
When the tables are turned, however, all hell breaks loose.
This is precisely the framework we are up against. And as long as that framework (the LMSM) retains credibility we'll never win one debate. Not one.

3. The media is controlled by GOP corporates |
|
And even if the President changes to a Democrat, the media will not change its tune.

4. Somehow the Republicans have annointed themselves..... |
|
as the moral arbitrators in this country--the ones who get to declare what is right and wrong, good and bad. I can't figure out how that happened exactly, and more importantly how to change it.
One problem is that the Right is so ridiculously hypocitical and corrupt that pointing it out becomes like a broken record. It's more newsworthy when the Democrats do something because it's a lot rarer.

5. But why do the Democrats go along with it? |
|
This latest Dean supposed "mis-statement" about the GOP being a white republican party, for instance. Even Democrats spoke out against him.
No one says anything when Republicans say "You can't be a Christian and a Democrat" or "All Democrats are traitors" or whatever.

8. Because they've allowed the Republicans to bully them.... |
|
about this and everything else. They have bought the media garbage about how this country has taken a sharp turn to the Right and the only way Dems can win is by acting like water-down Republicans, even though that strategy is a proven disater. In other words, just because they are elected officials doesn't make them any smarter than the rest of the population.
I'm hoping that in the long run one of the good things that will come out of the Neocon nightmare of the last five years is a revitalized Democratic Party. Let the spineless Dems be jetisoned, and good people take their place.

6. Dean's in the cross hairs and |
|
the republicans own the media.
But the dems are falling for the traps the media sets for Dean and the Dems.
It is CRAZY inducing but just hang in there you have lots of company!
George Galloway said on Randi Rhodes that we should "Maximize Our Strengths and Leave Our Differences At The Door"..if we're going to defeat the fascists(my words).

7. It's classic schoolyard bullying. |
|
Anything is fair game for them to say or do, but any reciprocation, even of a mild character, and they cry like a bunch of babies. (along with their friends in the MSM)
It's enough to make you puke.
