moved over from debize's thread.  (s?)he starts:

...the assumption that "Bush is a decent guy" will be progressively eclipsed by the "Bush is a traitorous creep" assumption, as a starting point for political conversation...The ONE thing that will give the Dems a fighting chance against Bush is to stop using euphemisms for his lies, corruption, sellouts of Americans, and yes, his protection of traitors.

(emphasis mine)

however, my contention is

if we're to say so, we also need to defuse the "angry dems" meme.  any ideas on how to do it?

so: how best to do that?
