Reply #23: An issue tailor made for the GOP machine [View All]

What better a way to distract people from the economy and the quagmire in Iraq/Afghanistan?

It's always better to use FEAR as a wedge right? Think terror alerts. These are Moral Alerts. Same effect.

I must admit that I admire the brilliance of their strategy.

I do not think this will backfire. In fact I think it will be a big win for them. Far bigger than most people would predict.

I am reminded of the OJ trial. All the smart folks in my office all were predicting a Guilty verdict. Yet I noticed all the knucle draggers knew without a doubt it would be Not Guilty. I started asking them what they were basing their assumptions on...not a one could tell me. They just knew. I mean they knew at a deep conviction level. It's like that with stupid people (the majority of the US population). They don't think through these things they simply react to largely if not always emotionally charged messages and issues. Rove gets it.

And the DEMs had beter get it or we will be obliterated at the polls as a result.

I don;t know the most effective response I just know the pre-emptive attack being launched is shaping up to be a windfall for the GOP.

I wanna puke now...
