To lure RINOs use the availability of free internet porn issue.
Tell them "The reich wing republicans want to take away your internet freedom"

Tell them "The Democrats want to keep your internet free"

It's an issue they can relate to on a personal level, as can we all.

Sure there are some exceptions.

There are a few Dinos who don't want to keep the internet free.

But just as in the war on drugs issue, there's no doubt which party is more rabid about prosecuting either the war on drugs or the war on porn.

Tell them not to throw their vote or energy away on any third party nonsense.

Tell them to vote for the Democratic Party which is in a position to oppose rabid reich wing republican nonsense.

Keep the internet free!

And keep it tax free too!

That's the slogan.

2. The Dems are way ahead of you!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/01/AR2005080100421.html

--SNIP--
A group of Democratic senators last week introduced a bill that would slap a 25 percent tax on Internet pornography sites to pay for a trust fund to "protect" children online. I'm sure they think this is a great idea, but as for me, I'm hoping it will end up at the back of the Senate parliamentarian's filing cabinet under the spare coffee filters.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on the proposal: "'Our children can literally stumble into adult Web sites that are inappropriate for their viewing,' said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who joined eight Democratic colleagues in introducing the Internet Safety and Child Protection Act of 2005. 'As parents, it is our responsibility to protect our children -- and no longer does protecting our children mean only holding their hand while crossing the street.'"

--SNIP--

So as you see; The Dems are trying to restrict the internet.

The Democrats are becoming the family values party don't cha know? It has nothing to do with opposition and everything to do with submission.

4. We need our DINOs, though they do annoy with such posturing.

I think the silent majority of both parties are "hoping it will end up at the back of the Senate parliamentarian's filing cabinet under the spare coffee filters"

6. Yes that sucks too. Though I support her in her re-election to the Senate
as we must do with DINOs.

7. Of course we have to support them...
Not supporting them would be like not supporting the Republicans and that is treason now isn't it?

9. No, not supporting them would be like supporting the Republicans
Oppose them all you like on issues, but if you fail to vote or get out the vote for them on Election Day then you have let us down.

10. I see...
So let me see if I am perfectly clear on this:

I should support candidates who support the Neo-Con agenda because they are going to change things by supporting and implementing the NeoCon agenda.

I should do this because we have always been at war with Eurasia?

11. It's a numbers game. We want to have a majority in the House and the
Senate.

And these DINOs do vote with us on most issues, otherwise they wouldn't be Ds at all.

If you think you can oust them, do it in the Primary.

If not, then you've got to vote for them.

That's pragmatism.

18. Everything is not exactly the same.
If everything was exactly the same then there would be no point in even thinking about it.

20. I'd rather not be in the party that requires everyone to agree on
everything.

Maybe she does it for the sake of those upstate votes.

16. So?
I don't care wat she's done in the past -- right now she is trying to push her morality on me and everyone else because *someone* made a mod for a game that was designed for people over age 17 anyway.

Not to mention she is wasting our money to do it to. Who really cares? Yay.

This is one of the most asinine things I have seen a politician do for at least a week.

19. That has nothing to do with internet porn.
What you're thinking of most often takes place online in G rated chat rooms.
