NOT going after Bush* is "trickle up" politics; that REALLY doesn't work
And yes, this is my second and final GD thread of the day.

It's ridiculous to not go after Junior. Most people only understand the very surface of things because they don't pay much attention. I'm not dismissing the capacity of the average citizen, merely his/her willingness. It is essential that the lies and greed are made to stick to this privileged little drip in a major way.

Who cares that some people will call us partisan to do so? The very act of bringing it up makes them deploy and deal with the issues. The issues are far-ranging and none of them has been resolved. Enron, Harken, Intelligence failures, economic lies, environmental lies, paybacks to supporters from the peoples' treasury, all of these things may have receded from the flood of curiosity, but they are very alive. Each time people hear a little, they're a little more disgusted. They will see him smirk along with something they've heard disputed, and they'll begin to doubt. As they doubt, so do their friends.

This man is not a good liar. Shocking, for someone who's had so much practice, but true. The seeds need to be planted.

To avoid going after Junior in favor of whittling away at the Junta TAKES TOO LONG. This man needs to be put on the defensive on core issues of his sick ugly personality NOW.

1. During the Clinton years, every time a repuke was on TV, they never
missed the chance to slime him and any other Dem they wanted to damage. There is no reason why every time a Dem is on TV, they should have the courage to say the truth about bush*, and have a spine for once to not back down in the face of criticism from the media or the repukes.

2. ya got that right.
Phoney phoney phoney phoney.

Liarliarliar. "Hey! Nice $18,000.00 suit Lord Fauntleroy; how many pairs of pants do you get with 'em? Are they fireproof?!"

Don't call him stupid (THAT'S actually not his fault) because that will galvanize support for him. Picking on that just isn't nice, anyway. Never forget that Forrest Gump was best picture and Reagan was elected handily.

Get him for being an underhanded cheater who likes to screw the defenseless. There's still a sense of fairplay in this country.

3. {Adopts Joe Lieberman mode}
Oh please don't say anything bad about Bush. He's a good man. Really and truly. Everything his administration has done has been totally on the up and up, with nothing but the best interests of the greatest number of Americans in mind every time.

{Morphs into another mode}

Why, you people just like to blame America first! You don't appreciate how wonderful you have it in this country if you criticize the President, Senator Lieberman, or any of their policies or pronouncements, which are the very soul of the nation itself. Get in a time machine and go live in Stalinist Russia is my practical rebuttal for your criticism!

{Morphs back into gratuitous mode}

Yuck. A. Doo. What was I saying, and why does my mouth taste like day-old turd?

4. Just have a nice double Victory Gin, it'll kill the taste
Conservatives have long said that liberals hate themselves, it's only recently that they've convinced the liberals of it.
