When it's time--probably late spring of next year--they can start spending the money. And they WILL spend it.
You don't have to spend money... The next time there's a debate, you should have Cheney, Rice, and Powell, and perhaps Frist and Hastert on all major news shows showing the counterpoint...
It's easy... 2 things, and 2 things only...
1. Challenge the Dims on the lies. Cite specific lies (there should be plenty to choose from) and press the media to ask the questions, directly confront the candidates.
2. Raise the point that the media gives the Dims a free ride. Ask the media "why don't any of you ask the Dims how THEY would do things differently... How THEY would ensure the capture of UBL, SH, how THEY would deal with the WMD issue and terrorism in general...
Listen up fellow FReepers, many people are in fact sheeple, and they'll believe charges (lies/distortions/etc) if they hear them often enough, ESPECIALLY if they continue to go unchallenged...
Remember the the CUT in Medicare? No? Well, most Americans think that Newt wanted a cut, when in fact, he wanted a reduction in spending. The Dims would pound away at that theme constantly, NO Reps would challenge it, so... it became a De Facto cut im voters' minds.
This will continue until they fight back and challenge the lies.
