It's Time People - A Democratic War on ERROR!
Sat Sep 02, 2006 at 06:55:46 PM PDT
We all know about the Republican color coded War on Terror ... but it really sounds more like an advertisement FOR terror rather than a strategy for combatting Terror.
What mis-steps, malaprops, cavils, lies, cheats, steals, etc do the Republicans get away with daily simply because the Democrats don't call bullshit on them?
Follow below the fold... more will be revealed...
What's needed this last 60+ days before the election [and a continuing work in progress for the '08 race]: A Time-line of the screw ups, the malfeasance, the frauds, the sins - large and small of this administration and overweaning power-mad government.
Which will spawn:
A series of
Timely T-shirts [isn't alliteration SO media -friendly?]
Bounteous Bumper Stickers
Significant Signs
Terrific Talking Points.
All advertizing the
Democratic WAR ON ERROR!
How?
List the screwups etc. Point to a timeline [Wikipedia or other] It's time for the ammunition to come out and the gloves to come off folks. Point to Republican errors often, and you can use the handy, oft-used media mechanism for listing oopsies... "One year ago today," "two years ago today," "three years ago today," four years ago today," "5 freakin' years ago today".... follow this sqib with the ERROR that was perpetrated by the Republicans at that time. Source the info so that it is undeniable and post it.
Get your Demo-ammo here.
Any volunteers to create a "War On Error" daily column? Any interest in creating one? BiPM's got his Cheers and Jeers but there's room for more. Snark is optional but works well in deflating blowhards.
As an example September 15th is a particularly rich day for malfeasance. 1972 some of the Watergate "Plumbers" were indicted. quotes from the Encyclopedia Americana
Americans were deeply troubled by the scandal. Attempts by Republican officials to discredit Democratic leaders and disrupt their campaign threatened the political process. Electronic surveillance presented a threat to civil liberties. Abuse of "national security" and "executive privilege" to thwart the investigation suggested that those concepts needed more precise definitions. The misuse of large campaign donations suggested the need for further reform legislation. The willingness of Nixon and his aides to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in unlawful or unethical ways against their "enemies" was a reckless exploitation of the bureacracy.
This is an example of a Republican led Government gone wrong. Sound familiar? Got some examples of this administation to share? Add them in the New and improved, Democrat War on Error listing for today, September 2nd
[Now with extra crunchie Bits] that follows immediately after this lede.
