After watching Jon Stewart, and an interview on Hardball, when the governor said "liberal" three times in an interview and "folks of the Heartland" about five times, and reading a dozen or so articles where a con referred to someone as a "liberal democrat," I decided that we need to start busting out "Religious Right" and "Far Right" a lot more.
It has long said that the "Religious Right" GOP convention of 1992 helped out Clinton, a lot (and if there's any doubt, the keynotes for this convention are all popular moderates -- and many of them are pro-choice).
I think talking points kind of suck, because they make everyone into idiots -- but we have to jam the receptors of the people who will be hearing "heartland values," and "liberal democrats" over and over.
And I don't even think it's dishonest to say this -- it is apparent, that since 1994, these maverick, younger GOP religious corporate zealot idealists (those responsible for boycotting France/Rich Santorum types), who can certainly not be called moderate. The entire GOP is letting their extreme memes dictate the party talking points, in hopes to draw their base -- and it should be obvious to almost anyone that it seems desperate and pandering -- I mean, Bush is saying that God speaks through him, now.
Just a little "religious right" here and an "extreme right-wing" there, might help jam the receptors a little... but nothing to the extent of the pathetic GOP pandering.
