Kicking Ass, and so, therefore, the DNC (thank god), have it exactly right - set up the asshole Rove against America, not just the Dems. The entire staff of the White House Palace is on record supporting his vicious remarks. Not a single Republican has stepped up to defend the half of America he was slandering. This is the GOP v. America. From Kicking Ass so you can get the idea of where they're going:
Democrats
Believe capturing the person primarily responsible for the attack should be a top priority.Republicans
It's been four years, and Osama bin Laden is still free, even though Bush's CIA chief says he knows where he is.Democrats
Investigate the intelligence failures that led to 9/11.Republicans
Do everything in their power to block the 9/11 Commission from doing its work.Democrats
Propose creating the Department of Homeland Security.Republicans
Push tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.Democrats
Believe we should have stayed the course in Afghanistan, not allowing the Taliban to resurge, the warlords to take power, and the opium trade to skyrocket.Republicans
Ignore Afghanistan as the situation worsens.Democrats
Believe that we should be honest with our troops about the reasons we go to war, give them everything they need to be safe, and make sure we go in with an exit plan.Republicans
Manipulate intelligence to trump up reasons to go to war, don't give our troops the support they need, constantly mislead the public about the direction the war is going, and fail to make an exit plan. And turn Iraq into the ultimate terrorist training ground.
It's a beautiful thing. On-message, small target, easy to digest.
Here's the question - can the Dems hang together on this long enough for the significance of the asshole Rove's remarks to sink in? Can they weather the inevitable storm that is already churning their way to be able to come out the other side winners? This is going to be about re-branding the GOP as out-of-touch, bullying and divisive. It's possible to do because it's true. If they can keep remembering that, they'll be okay. And, if they use Liberal Oasis' policy strategy at the same time, they'll never stop winning.
