The essential truth of Politics 2006. And a question.

[Stinky The Clown]

The Republicans are geat at offense. They suck at defense.

The Democrats are okay at defense (learned the hard way).

Will they suck at offense?

The golden goose is laying eggs at a deliciously frightening pace. Can we make political omlettes?

Or will we just watch and learn ...... to keep laying eggs?

1. Republicans count on public perception

it ain't looking to good.

2. I think we're making use of the opportunity...

... and might be able to score some points at long last. The pathetic thing is that THIS is what finally got the MSM and the great unwashed to sit up and take notice. Not the lies, not the killing, not the mangling of the Constitution.

4. You gotta go with what ya get .....

.... and it appears our side is doing exactly that ....... so far.

3. Offense/defense? Dems should emulate Tennessee DL Albert

Haynesworth who kicked a fallen Cowboy lineman to the head several times Sunday. Yes it's dirty and unfair but that's what has been happening to us for the past ten years. It's time to portray the GOP as the party of pedophiles ( Foley), enablers (Hastert) and incompetents (bush, Rice, Rumsfeld).

5. I think the best spin is to say .......

..... "They can't protect children and make bad decisions based on politics. How can we expect them to make the bigger decisions and protect the country?"

Use the page thing not as the end, but as the cudgel to beat them up about all their other shit. Don't dwell on the pages. the media will do that. Our story has to be their clear preference for politics over policy.
