laziest party in the history of politics
bush's thug party is intensely lazy. i've never seen a party rely on predigested talking points like they have for the past 6 years.

they have no hope... they can't respond to complex attacks. all we need is to attack each of them on an individual basis and their "borg" approach will break them completely.

1. They worked very hard to develop those talking points
cleaver little catch phrases to keep the faithful in line.
It took KKKarl and his band of thugs a couple of minutes for each talking point they have used.
:sarcasm:

4. Actually, you'd be surprised.
For my marketing class in my MBA program, we watched a video about a GOP strategist who does focus testing on the effect of certain words on voters. It was a very detailed process.

The frontmen might be idiots, but make no mistake...there are some very smart people behind the scenes.

2. They dont NEED to respond to complex attacks.
Nobody in the media or Democratic party is capable of formulating one.

3. It's easy when the MSM plays along with you
if there were actual Journalists at the major news outlets, instead of Media Whores, their lame, bogus, stale talking points wouldn't even be allowed into the debate, because, well, they're bogus.

That's the purpose of a moderator. When a journalist is sitting between two or more 'pundits' they are acting as moderator. To let these BS statements go by like 'Saddam refused to cooperate with inspectors', turns what was once a debate into a circus sideshow farce, and nothing more, IMO.

5. True to the lazy 'philosophy'...
of Leo Strauss; the consummate fool who thankfully is no more.

7. No kidding
Republicans represent corrupt class interests, but democrats don't always seem to be the most effective vehicle for advancing the interests of working people.
