GOP campaign strategy leaked.

[BM OUT]

The GOP only ever runs on fear.  They aren't progressive in the slightest.  It's either fear that your guns will be taken away, fear terrorists will attack, fear your healthcare will be cut, fear, fear, fear.  There are never any ideas tabled under a republican majority.  It's the same old tax cuts for this, war and harsh words for that.  I'm not saying a democratic majority is always the answer but damn it at least they table ideas to help Americans.  Republicans would rather it be 1910 than 2010 with the dribble they propose. 

Yes the democrats dont do that at all.They never say "republicans want to take us to war" or "republicans want grand ma on the street and they will try to take away your social security and have you eating dog food" or "republicans want to take your right to choose away" or any number of other fear tactics.They certainly never play on racial fears like that NAACP ad with the daughter of James Byrd.Yeah,your right,they are progressive thinkers with great ideas,like raise taxes,spend more,steal from those who work and give it to scum bags.Your an idiot.

By the way,can you ever name ONE time where tax cuts didnt spur the economy?

[kcballer]

100% correct, where obama is taking us I would much rather go to 1910 than the communistic NWO  Brave New World. 

And there you go, wishing it was some time in the past and not acknowledging that America in fact changes and so should it's laws, government and people.  Sadly little changes because of people like the GOP - the party of fear and no.

And their "fear" has been DEAD ON THE MONEY, because loonies on the left...ahem..."progressives" do just that.

That's why the people of this country don't want ObamaCare. All those "fears" are being confirmed, with each passing day.

That's why there's the opposition to the stimulus, because the "fear" (that it wouldn't reduce the deficit, create jobs, or keep unemployment under 8%) TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE.

Tabling dumb ideas is not better than having "no" ideas. In fact (as we've learned the hard way), it's much worse.

Here is the thing billy.  The republicans DO want to take away social security, medicare and medicaid.  Those are stated by their own party officials throughout their time in congress.  But yet they spread lies to sow their seeds of fear, that is the difference.  Death panels, reduction in care, stimulus doesn't create jobs (while taking the money at ONE THE JOB SITES) etc etc all LIES yet all used as fear instruments by a party with no solutions other than outdated policies from a so called 'golden era'.

Or, the Dems, telling blacks (via black liberals and "civil rights leaders"), that voting for Bush would be one step short of putting them back in the fields to pick cotton.

Haha you have NO clue 333.  None.  You cling to your fear mongering sound bites like 'socialism, communism, marxism' without understanding very little has changed in the day to day operation of America from the past president to this one.  There has been no fundamental change (hence the liberals being more and more upset with Obama).  If this is 'socialism' then Bush must have been a socialist, marxist too.  He wanted bailouts which resulted in government takeovers, his father implemented a cap and trade like system in 1990, (must be NWO right?) all he had different was a red party hat.

National GOP leaders are doing damage control today after a Politico scoop lifted the curtain on the party's plan to tap voters' "fear" in the coming campaign season. The PR problem started when an absent-minded attendee at the Republican National Committee (RNC) confab on February 18 in Boca Grande, Florida, left a 72-page document from its 2010 strategizing session in a hotel room. Today, Politico reporter Ben Smith's expose is making headlines.

The memo tracks the fundraising presentation that RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart delivered to the RNC's $2,500-a-head annual retreat. The best path to victory in 2010, the document advises, is for Republican candidates to depict themselves as the best hope for resisting the "trending toward socialism" taking shape in a Democrat-dominated Washington.

And the document doesn't shy from making its points graphically. MSNBC showed the images this morning on "Morning Joe":

The presentation portrays the Obama administration as "The Evil Empire," including the now-infamous image of President Obama made over in the makeup Heath Ledger used in his performance as the Joker in the 2008 Batman movie "The Dark Knight." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears as Cruella De Vil from "101 Dalmatians," and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is the witless cartoon dog Scooby-Doo. The memo candidly confirms that the aim of such caricature is to amp up "fear" among the GOP's conservative base. The memo also makes fun of major RNC donors, categorizing some as "ego-driven" and easily pacified with "tchochkes" (a Slavic word for toys).

The embrace of harsh rhetoric and the swipes at the large donor set seem to signal the GOP establishment's growing comfort with employing tactics associated with the activist Tea Party movement—and with plying Tea Party sympathizers for cash. Of course, it isn't unusual for parties out of power to court controversy and play with fire to rile up donors and grass-roots activists. The RNC has caught heat for fundraising tactics in the past, most recently when it was caught sending out fake census forms to raise money. And Democrats have shown a demagogic streak in the past, depicting George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as Bond-like supervillains and playing up alleged GOP plans to kill Social Security to rally voters behind a popular entitlement program.

When asked by Yahoo! News if the leaked presentation reflects a coordinated effort to appeal more to the Tea Party movement, RNC spokesman Doug Heye replied that the group's chairman, Michael Steele, "was recently invited by Tea Party activists to a meeting, which he was happy to do. Following the meeting, it was clear those in the meeting shared a common goal: stopping the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda." As for plans to further that alliance with the inflammatory material in the memo, Heye reiterated what he'd told Politico earlier: "The language and the imagery will not be used in any capacity in the future."

There's no question that the Obama-as-Joker image—long a familiar icon at Tea Party rallies—is a toxic association for the GOP establishment. Oddly enough, though, that image's origins can be traced to the activist left. As revealed by the Los Angeles Times last year, the image was created by a supporter of Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a University of Illinois student named Firas Alkhateeb, who told the Times that he uploaded the photo onto his Flickr page, and a conservative activist promptly snatched it up.

Such are the odd convergences of movement politics. However, the RNC may have more trouble distancing itself from the equation of Democratic policy with socialism, however, since Michael Steele is credited with originating that meme in the health care debate.

 

The Lib party has screwed up so bad we don't even need a strategy. As long they keep doing what they're doing we're fine........just like I said in the first month of this clown's presidency.

Remember GB senior "NWO" speech?  

I did not like Bush and i dont know how many posts I have to make tp prove that to you.  

However, there is ZERO doubt in my mind that obama is a hardcore communist radical.  As every day passes it becomes more and more obvious what he is.

I didn't say you liked Bush.  However, you never once said he was a marxist, communist, etc despite their being pretty much no fundamental change in America.

[LurkerNoMore]

WHAT PART OF $100 TRILLION IN DEBT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? 

The RNC claims that they have raised over 81 TRILLION dollars for their campaign.  Why not take that money, pay off the debt and be heroes for once?  If they did that, the other parties would cease to exist on the spot.

GWB was a NWO shill and fiscal socialist.  he did the bidding for his buddies and was a disaster his second term.  Is that enough for you?

[Mons Venus]

Bush called the Constitution "just a goddamn piece of paper" and Obama's the communist.

Where was all this when he was in power?  You never ONCE said anything like you do for Obama, yet like i said nothing has changed.  Except the president's party and background.  Now what is it that you really have an issue with, a democratic president or something else?

[kcballer]

You still haven't answered.  I mean there has been no change you've said so yourself.  In fact it's been mocked by many on the right hasn't it?  I mean no hope or change as yet right? So if it's the same why is one a marxist and one just someone you don't agree with some things on?

No, GWB flirted with fiscal socialism, Obama is full in and 100% full steam ahead with this garbage. 

Obama:  "I sought out the marxist professors" 

[12secGT]

Bush called the Constitution "just a goddamn piece of paper" and Obama's the communist. 

In what context did Bush say this? Was it the silly story on MSNBC, with Keith Obermann? We all know Keith's stand on Bush. Point taken. At the time this story was in the news the Bush Admin was working on making sure this country was safe from terrorism. Now I don't agree with the face value of this statement, but you don't have a constitution when you don't have security. And in this context, Bush needed to aliegn with the right people who will do what it takes to keep this country safe.

Nothing has changed? KC what are you smoking?
For one, we have tripled our debt in ONE YEAR. Take over of banks, gov't telling CEO's how much they can be paid, we are on the verge of healthcare takeover... And nothing has CHANGED?

So what did you vote for? Didn't you vote for hope and change?

The stimulus bill has created ZERO jobs.The health care scheme will provide worse health care[can you name one thing where government improves a thing],the democrats run on racial fear EVERYTIME.Republicans dont want to take away social security or medicare or medicaide that is a lie.They want to save them from the filthy democrats who never want to pay for anything.You,by saying that prove that democrats run on fear and do it everytime.The very fact that Obama says the economy was the worst since the great depression when he ignores Carters economy is another example.Saying "we have to pass these things RIGHT AWAY " or we will be in a depression is another example.Sorry,democrats are the party of fear.
