Game Change - thanks for reminding us of the bankruptcy of the RW

Values, ideas, policy all take a back seat to the "message"! Any strategy to get through the next round of elections is okay as long as they can win, governing is for wimps.

Playing to the media is more important than governing for Americans. Talk about lipstick on a pig, pigs all across America are owed an apology.

Deadbart's minions over at Big Hollywood are going on the internet and posting comments on all of the reviews of this movie. This is a directt quote from one of their articles on the subject..."Simply calling out HBO isn’t enough. We need to watch the coming critic frenzy and specifically call them out as individuals along with their respective outlets." If you read any reviews of Game Change, they have already started to hit the comment section with their talking points. Just a head's up to those who have seen the movie and might want to post their own comments.

I thought about writing some things out which would counter their talking points but actually I think that might be a waste. Rather than responding to their comments and debating points about a movie they didn't even see, it would probably be better to submit fresh comments praising the things you liked about the movie and helping to generate buzz so more people will see it. They want to take over the comment section with arguments so best not to feed them.

If we could feel like it was just some po'd insiders venting, we could take it as entertainment.

Having this horror story still on the national stage is even scarier now and to have the real principles, except SP of course, verify the accuracy of the portrayals only makes it worse.

Luckily telling a story based on reality will always have a place in the public forum.

No wonder Schmidt isn't working for any campaign this year, whether by choice or necessity.
