so...what was our message for this election year again?

[ulysses]

We're evidently handing them back the illegal wiretapping issue, per the DLC.

What's our message this election year? I know Dean's talking about a plan, but can we get the shit in gear? Now?

[leftstreet]

1. We have A Better Way

And no, I don't know what it means.

:eyes:

[PVK]

2. We can do better.

Is actually the phrase.

[leftstreet]

4. Oh.

See, I'm already screwing it up.
:rofl:

Thanks!

[ulysses]

5. "we can do a better way better"

Cover your bases. :)

[Sparkly]

6. I thought it was, "There's a better way."

Obviously we need a better way to create messages. :shrug:

[ulysses]

7. we need a message czar. n/t

[leftstreet]

8. There's A Better Way to do Way Better and that's A Better Way

That should do it.

[ulysses]

13. but does that account for the Third Way?

:silly:

[madeline_con]

3. That's vague. n/t

[The Magistrate]

9. What It Ought To Be, Sir

Is rebellion against a culture of corruption and lies. Everything else, whether appealing to the most moderate or the most radical, can find firm root in that....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDD!"

[ulysses]

12. I agree with that

with the caveat that it's got to be a true message. I don't think we get to "sort of" mean it but maybe once more, then that's truly all she wrote.

[The Magistrate]

15. A Pleasure To Be In Agreement With You, My Friend

With the probably not unexpected caveat that of course a political line need not be true or even truely meant to be effective....

"Sincerity is the key. When you can fake that, you've got it made."

[ulysses]

21. likewise, sir,

with the equally expected caveat that, at least this time, it does need to be true, at least if we're interested in keeping the support of African-Americans. I watched the CSK funeral today at school surrounded by my black students and black colleagues. Let's not fake it this time.

[rsmith6621]

10. We Do A Good Job At.......

Sitting on our hands.......

[radio4progressives]

26. There's a Better Way to Sit On Our Hands...

I'm sure someone can show us how... :crazy:

[unkachuck]

11. our message is....

....'we will sit down and shut up until the corporations say otherwise'....

[The Magistrate]

17. And Who Will You Be Voting For, Uncle?

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[unkachuck]

18. that Sir....

....is a very good question....

[The Magistrate]

19. Who Is The Democratic Party Running In Your State And District, Sir?

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Greyhound]

33. The old "who ya gonna vote for, the repukes?" strategy... n/t

[AtomicKitten]

14. You guys don't think Howard Dean has something better in mind?

[PVK]

20. I know he does. Dean is my hero.

And "we can do better" is his phrase.

I don't know why everyone is knocking it. He's used it a long time and no one called it "weak". Of course, things have gotten quite a bit uglier.

Maybe we should start saying "we couldn't do worse".

[AtomicKitten]

22. hey, it's better than "we suck less."

I'm kinda partial to "We obey the law."

[radio4progressives]

27. :D

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[ulysses]

23. I suspect that he does, but I've heard

that he wants to wait to unveil it. I find that a poor idea. We need to be hitting people with the goods from now until November.

[kid a]

16. Put corrupt lobbyists as the POSTER BOYS for every NEOCON, Repug

candidate!!!

Tie that stinking, hypocritical, corporate backed party to the SLUDGE of DC.

Play it , and replay it, until every American tie corporate filth with the average, middle-age, smirking corporate Repug whore who wears a suit, smiles a lot and thumps the bible with one hand and pick-pockets you with the other.

[ulysses]

24. that's a start.

Let's pair it with something positive on our end.

[hopeisaplace]

25. It's all over but the dying - be pro-life, choose Dems. hahahahaha

[kentuck]

28. We won't steal half as much as they do...

:)

[Dr Fate]

29. Honest defense policy, healthcare and large middleclass tax-cuts.

Or so it would be if I were King Democrat.

[FrenchieCat]

30. What about.....

DUE PROCESS OF LAW FOR AMERICANS WHILE FIGHTING A WAR THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT IS POSSIBLE. DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU OTHERWISE!

OR...

NEW SCHOOLS AND LIBERTY FOR IRAQ?
OUTSOURCED JOBS AND HIGH GAS PRICES FOR AMERICANS?
WHY?


VOTE DEMOCRAT; BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE PRIORITY IS YOU!

[JWS]

31. Something about "Democrats do it better." or

some such thing.

[kentuck]

32. Big Spending, Big Government Republicans !

Not conservatives!
