The Biggest Change In The Last Weeks

[ThomWV]

The biggest change, I would say, is that the Administration is on the defensive. I would not have said that last week, or at any other time in the term so far to tell the truth. It certainly is refreshing and its going to get worse for the dud.


I don't know why it took so long. Nothing really new is being disclosed. Virtually everything that has risen up to smack the chimp in the face has been around for months. Knowing that I have to ask - what else is out there?

I ask because I'm really afraid that the cause of removing the worst excuse for a President this country has ever seen looks to me to be timed so as to peak far to long before the election. Simply put they have too much time available to spin their way out of trouble.

1. Stuff just keeps piling up

people are growing very much aware of the scams and the shams. When you lose your job, then your unemployment and you try to get a job only to find it has been outsourced, you might decide its time to volunteer to help the Democrats. When you're a senior citizen and you realize that the Medicare prescription law will cost you money and that the record deficits could mean the end of Social Security, you meet with others and pledge to vote Democrat, even if you're a lifelong Republican.

3. I hope it continues

to pile up. But, you know this administration has an arsenal of lies still to tell. And we can always expect that Oct. surprise. They are stealthy, crafty and mean and God only knows what they will come up with. This Ricin crap they have pulled is something else to avert our attention.

2. Big change in the way Democrats see the race

At last the Democratic Party is seeing and believing in the inevitability of removing * and turning our country back into a free democracy.
We won last time and we are winning again.

4. One more time for the record

The problem is with our big (tv) media.
I dispute that they are biased, like some want to believe. The problem is that they are commercial.
Therefore, they are not in the business of selling news, they are in the business of selling advertisement. The more viewers you have, the more advertisement you sell. The more you tell the people what they want to hear, the more they will tune into your programs.

Consequently the media coverage, or the items that they focus on, was bound to change once Bush's approval ratings crossed the 50% line.
They are simply still feeding their viewers according to their appetite.

So Bush's AWOL status has become "fair game" indeed, right after more important issues like Janet Jackson's boob.

5. It's now when we need to pull out all the stops.

A month ago the AWOL story looked dead. Now it's a big story. Why? Bush's popularity is below 50%, and falling fast. Liberal books are flying off the shelves. The democrats are marching.

Every story we've ever written, every corruption we've uncovered, is relevant again. All of those scandals that we thought had legs still do, they were just in hibernation. We need to hit them with everything we've got. We have the initiative.

Two and a half years ago Bush had a 90% approval rating. We've seen that fall over forty%, and it's thanks to us and people like us. We can't rest on our laurels.

We've still got another 40% to go before the only people who still approve of Bush are freepers and the jews in florida who voted for Buchanan.

6. Less defensive, though, and more a case of...

..."deflector shields up."

Apparently Karl Rove's master plan is that when Bush or Rummy or anyone else in the Axis of Evil Washington D.C. Branch gets confronted with cold, hard, facts, they are to "accentuate the positive." Never let the conversation end with an admission of guilt. End it with something wonderful you did, even if you are as guilty as hell.

And we're supposed to ALL be too stupid to see through this little ploy.

There was a reference on one of the cable news shows yesterday regarding the "jobless recovery" and how the true label should be "job LOSS recovery."

How cold, sick, hungry, broke, disillusioned and scared do the American people have to GET before they vote this miserable f**k out of office?

People who are surrounded by things that are broken LIKE people who "fix things." If Bush says "I'm on it," people...yes, some but not all...like him, because he said he was on it. He just has to say it, he doesn't have to do any of it. That's the real battle. Bush will promise whatever he has to promise while Rove continues rummaging around for dirt in the Dems' closets. Yes, we have made progress. Yes, many people are seeing through the lies.

But as long as we have Mr. & Mrs. America huddling around their hotplate and mouthing "The President is doing the best he can," we're going to need a much, much bigger change than the one we've seen recently. That's where the real work resides...the people who have lost everything and believe Bush when he says it's a-comin' back, maw and paw.

Rove will be waiting for the point where the Dems sit back and think "we have the election in the bag." Let's not give it to him. Let's fight until we vote his worthless sock puppet buddy out of the White House and KEEP on fighting after that.
