Don't get fooled by the hype!!
It's all about getting the base to vote in November. Rove is using the same tactics he used in 04'. Scare the shit of the weak minded and get them to vote against the "crazy" liberals.

WMD's, Gay Marriage, and 'Cut and Run' are all tactics to get the followers all worked up into frenzy.

Yes, we need to counter it, but just realize that their goal is not to get out the truth. It's to feed the fear.

1. Gays with WMD's staying the course
to destroy everything that's Christian in our country. And these people vote, so sad.

2. Now that you mention it...
I haven't even seen the "terror color chart" in almost two years, but I bet they trot out an "elevated" alert by August.

Probably in reply to a Republican embarassment by then.

3. Feeding the fear..
...that's what has us by the short hairs: Fear

How do you starve the fear? If they are feeding it, it seems we counter by starving it.

We need solutions, and we need 'em now. Is DU up to the task or are we just a new class of pundits?

4. The difference is, the stronger-minded people are in the majority now.
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 11:08 AM by rocknation
It's OUR fear they need to feed--that our leaders are weaker than theirs; that we can't win in November; that it's too late to us to regain control. They know that THEIR base is no longer big enough to swing the election, so the'll have to weaken ours by cheating and/or making sowing the seeds of defeat.

5. They used WMD in 2002 to GOTV.
When all of this madness began in earnest, IMHO.

6. I thought the gays were the WMD.
They certainly seem to scare the right more than Saddam ever did.
