Well this is embarrassing.
Here is a leaked document from the National Republican Party in Washington. I suggest you read it.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/152696844/Fighting-Washington-for-All-Americans
It is hilarious. It instructs Steve Daines and his House GOP colleagues on how to tour their districts during the August recess. Namely, it is chock full of advice on how to seem popular, how to blame Washington for all of our nations ills, how to frighten people about Obamacare and red tape, and how to use all of these techniques, and many others, to increase the chances of getting re-elected.
......................................
find a hospital that is negatively affected by Obamacare, and tour the facility, but ensure in advance that healthcare workers agree with Republican messaging theme(s)
tour a senior center, to discuss with seniors their concerns they have about the current health care system and an out-out-control government.
invite attendees to events who will take (the conversation) in a direction beneficial to the members goal.
host a Millennial health care forum with a doctor to discuss young peoples health care concernsbut make sure to select a health care provider with the same stance on the issue.
take photos outside all of the schools you visits wearing the different schools team gear.
speak at senior centers, but only with built-in crowds.
help constituents pump gas or bag groceriesbut make sure to wear clothes in which you feel comfortable doing hands-on work.
and most important of all: never, ever remind your constituents that its your fault Washington is out of control.

I think we all need to ask what our priorities are.

(7,044 posts)The OP is not disseminating Republican Plans to Distort Reality & Mindf*ck the citizens of the USA, it is letting the people know about the deliberate Republican plans to lie, cheat, and mindf*ck. That's evil, and it's important to call it out for the evil it is...

(9,610 posts)I searched the scribd document tor many of the statements listed in the snippet. They did not exist (at least word-for-word). Someone is embellishing with a leftward slant. The left can be and is propagandized too.

Surely, no one would say something like that, much less write it down! Would they? Maybe I need more coffee to wrap my head around the thought that they are more ignorant and weaselly and horrible than I thought.

(10,942 posts)So, they double down on more lying and deception. More of their memos should be found and made publics. We need moles in the RNC and state republican parties. Them putting moles into our party hasn't worked because we aren't institutional liars who only work to deceive.
