Speaking Our Own Language
I'm not brain dead.NYT:
"The only reason he's still up there in the 40's is that the Democrats are really brain dead and have nothing positive to put on the table," said one veteran Republican who has close ties to the White House, referring to approval ratings in polls that are at or near Mr. Bush's low points.What's this guy talking about? Bush has done such wonderful things for this country, like years of peace, no deficit, scientific advancements, and a renewed biparitsan spirit.
Oh.
I'm going to try to make that one of the last times I talk about Bush, or his cronies for that matter. Once we start phrasing our arguments in terms of the opposition, the oppsition has already won. Plus, we are just handing over our air time by explaining how we are against A, B, or C.
We must come up with our own language. Instead of talking about "up or down votes," we must talk about the OBVIOUS and GLARING incompetence of judicial nominees that we oppose.
We must start talking about the SPECIFIC and SIMPLE steps that we will take to repair our country and its foreign relations after going into a war on faulty intelligence and without any plan WHATSOEVER for how to fix what we have broken (the violence in Iraq is increasing, not decreasing).
Most of all, we must start planning for the next round of elections, and be sure that no one in America can say that they didn't know exactly what we stand for!
