The Republican propaganda machine has these Wednesday morning meetings hosted by a jerk off named Grover Norquist. Norquist is a corrupt right wing radical anarchist in the sense that he wants to shrink the government's role providing social and economic safety nets for the majority of Americans whose incomes are not in the top 2%. He is the driving force behind the tax cuts for the rich and the paying off of big defecits by cutting all social services. He is buddies with Karl Rove, Tom Delay, and one of his former partners appointed by Bush as the head of the government procurements dept was recently hauled off in hand cuffs.
At these Wednesday morning meetings Grover and those in attendance including Republican Congress people set the propaganda agenda for the administration and the party in general for the week ahead. The agenda and propaganda talking points are sent to all the right wing media outlets and pimps such as Limbaugh and Hannity and OReilly, the Wall Street Journal editorial staff and all the right wing so called think tanks such as the Hoover institute and Heiritage foundation.
I mention this because listening to some of the right wing stooges on the radio today I heard over and over, the new talking point and soon to become the new Republican mantra to offset their shrinking popularity with the voters. "The Democrats can only attack the President and his policies. They have no policies of their own to offer. Thus, they have nothing to offer in the next election". I even heard this on the network news tonight as one of the lead stories. So not only does the propaganda get spread through the right wing media but the timid and brainwashed mainstream media (yeah the same one the righties say has a liberal bias) repeats these right wing lies as if they are facts.
So what are the democratic alternatives. I'm no policy wonk but they are pretty obvious to me, as they should be to any potential voter and especially to the mainstream news media:
D for defense, catching Osama and Al Queada,and not starting a civil war in Iraq
E for equal education, funding public education,supporting teachers,and affirmitive action.
M for money, and reducing the defecit, ending tax cuts for the rich, and creating jobs.
O for Oil, ending our dependance on oil, and seeking alternative fuel choices.
C for choice, conserving the environment,checks and balances, and affordable care (health).
R for individual rights and their protection and for regaining respect in the world
A for all inclusive, including gays, immigrants and minorities
T for truth, and an end to Republican lying.
S for a safety net for the poor and saving our consensus form of democracy.
Being a former male cheerleader even W can relate to this "give me a D........
