I think the Repubs are making a mistake.... |
|
Caught about 1 minute of Limpballs today, and he was playing a tape of Matthews defending SS, Medicare, and other social programs. Then, in his most annoying pontifical voice, he said the Dems didn't dare run on that "socialist" platform because the Dems would lose big time. I think I heard Oxyrush attacking SS and Medicare and Disability and like that.
I think that's a mistaken strategery for the Repubs. I know people are stupid, but not that stupid.
Then, I caught Medved, and he was arguing with a guy who represented a group of rich guys who want to raise taxes on the rich. Medved was defending low taxes for the rich.
I think - I hope - that attacking "socialist" programs and defending the rich will ultimately bring them down.

1. Never interrupt your adversary |

When he's making a mistake.
Loose lips and all that.

2. I hope you're right... |
|
though it seems the sheep are trained to respond to buzz words more than ideas.
Hmm.. in that case, maybe things like our two wars should be redefined as "socialist" wars? :)

3. Chris made an excellent point: he called out the left for defending |
|
the Social Safety Net---"the Left has not made the sale." He asked: "What would our country look like if there was no SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Assistance to the Poor--perhaps Calcutta with the old people living on the streets."

That is. . .if the IQ of the average American hasn't decreased to below 100!

7. As much as I'd like to believe that people are noticing the hypocrisy, the insensitivity, |
|
the stupidity and cupidity, THIS time---I recall rejoicing when the GOP nominated (anointed) George W. Bush in 2000.
I just KNEW that America was too smart to elect THAT shallow strutting punk President of the United States.
Has it boiled down to which party/candidate will make more money for corporate America?

8. I'd like to believe this, however why are seniors against healthcare? Why are Repukes actually |
|
saying OUTLOUD they want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare, and the people listening JUST DON'T CARE.... it boggles the mind.... so for all those people listening to Drug Rush, they indeed will listen to him and follow his every step, just like the sheep they have turned into.
