6. A blanket accusation won't work
BUT they do need to say "LIAR!" on an individual basis when Bush, Cheney etc blatantly lie.

14. It will work be cause they ARE liars, and would have to prove they...
...are NOT.

All Politicians lie in one way or another, the difference is, Democrats do it (or should) for the greater good, Republicans lie for the select few.

26. Democrats do it (or should) for the greater good
I don't know, but it seems to me that nobody who finds out she has been lied to, is likely to be happy about it. So I don't think Dems should lie, even for the greater good. We're either the Party of integrity, or we are not. If we are not, what makes us better than the Repukes?? And why should we lie? We have the better people, the better ideas. Just tell the truth.

Also, do you think the American people will decide the Repukes are "liars" just by us repeating it over and over. We've been doing that for years. Two additional things are needed. One, it has to be so. OK, it is so. Two, we have to get the proof, the evidence, out there. Concrete evidence not subject to several interpretations by people of ill-will. OK, and three, we have to have a vehicle to carry it for us. How to get it to the MSM? That's where the problem is, the corporate media.

If we just could get a fair shake on the MSM, we could convince the American people. In the meantime, we need to keep it up on such media as we can. The internet, AAR, etc.

27. OK, here's why
it won[t work. They don't have to prove they are not liars. You have to prove that they are. Now this can be done because, well, they are. But it has to be shown, not just yelling "liars". That proves nothing, and just makes those who make such a claim without substantiating it into something despicable. Innocent until proven guilty, ever hear of that? Put the proof out there. Concentrate on individual politicians for specific lies. Not generic BS.

7. Understanding Rove's tactics....
Is repeat the lie often enough, people start believing it.

And we know how stupid/clueless/uninformed the majority of the voters are! I mean, Bush won the election based on who would you rather have a beer with

Just this week, we all thought Kerry was leading the filibuster from the ski slopes of Darvos ! He was at an economic conference...but the sheeple didn't bother to hear those details
