Stay WHICH course? "CUT" what and "RUN" where?
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 05:30 AM by Jeffersons Ghost

While reminiscent of the Titanic, is "stay the course" a strategy? Any novice chess-player soon realizes charging pieces forth along a predictable course is absurd. Certainly, wing-nuts will begin understand, because even in checkers the scenario spells disaster. A military approach employing such a foolish notion, however, brings to mind spoiled rich-boys playing army with new and improved REAL human life, as advertised on T.V. throughout the sixties.

"Stay the course" is not a strategy at all. At best, it is ridiculous rhetoric. At worst, it represents a real plan, leading to countless deaths and ultimate defeat. Perhaps, precise plans should remain "secret" to We the People. These are perilous times. Indeed, it is a sign of desperate days when chimp intellect leap-frogs human wisdom on the evolutionary ladder. Instead of despair, let us rejoice over perhaps the six good months of net-neutrality left in our Neo-Renaissance of information. Reason can still flourish.

With such ample time, let us address the absurd propaganda that ANY Democrat, especially battle tested veterans like Murtha and Kerry, are suggesting "cut and run" tactics. Like Dr. Dean - Feingold, Kerry, Murtha and others - offer a concise unified plan for success that has nothing to do with running. Redeploying troops in a strategic manner will not only stabilize the region but also pressure the Iraq government to take a greater role in a civil war set in motion by smirking crooks intent on bilking billions from our treasury.

Did the current administration foresee the escalating ethnic bloodbath as bump in their course? Oh well, these little religious rivalries play out faster than an Irish leprechaun leaping for his gold in a pre-school story. Why should we worry? We The Commoners, might become confused by spooky decider secrets, so we must avoid contemplating their private game-plan. Still, it requires very little imagination to see a younger Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and a slew of Congressional Republican rich brats enthralled in games of spy or soldier but at some point, adults must put away childish things.

Apparently most of the Republican kids got temporally bored by the time Vietnam blossomed into a "conflict," because very few of them got anywhere near the real fighting. A surprising number of elected Republicans lack any experience at all, which is why the Halls of Democracy echo with criticisms, ranging from basic ignorance to all-out cowardice. When draft-dodging nar-do-wells transfer their inadequacies to better leaders it is more than childish name-calling. Hanging this label on better people is like a thief assuming that everyone steals to justify their own evil actions. Psychologists call this mental illness, Transference.

Possibly media is in love with the phrase "cut and run" or, more likely, sponsors that now dictate every aspect of news, are drooling over profits from the kill-fest. "News reports," is a term one must use loosely because media now offers mostly repetitious rhetoric designed to break down mental barriers in a "war of ideas." Repetition is the oldest game in media. In commercials repetition sells product.

As for the lie cut and run, it's well past time for top Republicans to cut back on insulting the intelligence of America because in November voters are going to run them from the hallowed halls, where a few great patriots still serve with distinction. As for Diebold doomsayers try not to oversell the scare-tactic because while it is potentially valid, it brings to mind previous juvenile attempts by this government to dis-empower the populace. If electronic impropriety is your peeve, why not look into Electronic Frontiers Foundation? EFF represents a crafty group of Democrat lawyers that focus on transparent voting and a free internet. I bet they're still begging for funds and volunteers. http://www.eff.org/

3. you might be making a mistake emanymton. please check your DU inbox...
I think I heard John Kerry say "LIE AND DIE" on CNN last night. At any rate, I doubt it was a GOP bumper sticker.

6. If It Is Not Yet, It Will Be
I personally hate bumper sticker catch-phrases. But given the simple, simplistic and shallow 'public debate' going on, one has to fight fire with fire.

'Lie And Die' is an absolute winner when liberals/humans are fighting back against the morans of the RW. The slogan is simple and simplistic; cutting like a knife in response to GOP's 'cut and run.'

Those who use the GOP's 'cut and run' are not interested in sorting out an issue. They are trying to score points in the media. The way to stop them is to score higher points with 'Lie And Die.'


Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

4. It`s the age of buzzwords.
No substance, just a handful of words strung together that Rove can order repeated. Imagine using political tactics as substitutions for meaningful debate on a subject as serious as war?

Mission accomplished
Wanted dead or alive
Kill `em there so they don`t kill us here

14. but seriously we do need to start talking about where we are going to meet
up to start our march from. should it be started on the west coast and pick us up here as it passes through. I am closer and closer to believing that is what we are going to have to do, march on the WH. I think this cabal is in so deep that they can't afford to step down because it will mean stepping into a jail cell. :shrug:

15. GOOD LET'S FUCKING GO TO JAIL OR HELL IF IT WILL FIX AMERICA..
IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME SOME OF US OLD HIPPIES HAVE HIT THE CELLS. THEY RARELY LET IT GO TO COURT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A FEW RIGHTS. IF WE TRY TO TAKE OVER THE HOUSE OR SENATE LIKE IT'S A CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING THEY MIGHT MAKE SOME CHARGES STICK. LET'S START AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL AND MARCH TOWARD WHERE CONGRESS MEETS! ANYONE REMEMBER THE WORDS TO "WE SHALL OVERCOME?"
