The Republican Strategy
From Raw Story: A 91 Page Booklet that describes the Republican strategy for the mid-term elections. The pdf is at the end of the article, aptly named, Raw Story acquires 91-page Republican playbook for 'homestretch' campaign.
Nothing surprising here, though since this PDF is indeed the GOP's own internal rhetoric, its playbook, everything is going to look a lot more benign than what we'll see.
It's going to be an "Apple Pie" blowout and people will fall for it. Fear of commie flag burners, the ghost of Terri Shiavo, and the spectre of those horrible homosexuals who think they have the right to do whatever they want--these motifs are going to have lots of currency in the months ahead.
Now, if only someone could get a war started with Iran, ideally one built to result in nukes, we could really ratchet up the jingoism. Gee, I wonder how they might get such a thing going....
Sigh... too bad the Dems are so fixed in the range between complicit and incompetent.
