The Democrats' Newest Tool: Subliminal Katrina Messaging!
If Bush tore his Achille's Tendon on Hurricane Katrina, I say let's hit that torn tendon every time.

"How?" you may ask. Subliminal Katrina Messaging!

It's really quite simple. Within each statement, be sure to subtlely slip in the words "hurricanekatrina."

Let's start with a recent quote from Howard Dean:

"With Roberts' confirmation hearings set to begin, the White House's bureaucratic (hurricanekatrina) bungling and political stonewalling must come to an end (hurricanekatrina.)"

See - wasn't that easy?

On Social Security:

"Privatizing social security (hurricanekatrina) will only hurt our citizenry's ability to save for their retirement (hurricanekatrina.)"

On the energy bill:

"The energy bill merely lines the pockets of large oil companies (hurricanekatrina), hurting the American consumer (hurricanekatrina.)"

See? An '06 (hurricanekatrina) victory guaranteed!

6. That wasn't subliminal...
and we shouldn't be either. Bring it right up, and ask the hard, answerless questions right to the face of the GOP.. in every interview, in every political debate, in every public appearance. Bludgeon them with it.

Everything has changed since Katrina. It's a "Post Katrina World".

Sadly, don't hold your breathe waiting for the opposition party to risk their dinner dates with their close GOP pals over something as trivial as the destruction of a major city. Like a battered wife the Dems don't want to get their GOP hubby angry. After all, it's the GOP that wears the pants in this political family, it seems.

5. Just use words like flood, abortion, disaster and strings like, that took
longer than it took Bush to help NO! or What are you waiting for? Disaster aid from Bush?
His failure is now the stuff of metaphor.
