Think this might be part of the problem? Perhaps they should try discussing the issues instead of acting like anyone who disagrees with them is a criminal.
If we say, for instance - in a unified, uniform, unblinking way
Well we know he has a thesaurus next to his knife/gun/tank.
- that the Bush administration has been spying on political enemies, the Republicans have no good responses. Never mind that they will say, "Well, we don't do that." And we'll say, "Why are you spying on political enemies?" And they'll say, "We don't spy on political enemies."
I'm rubber you're glue...whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you! At least they'd appeal to the 2 year old voter (who actually probably does vote democrat along with her long departed great-great grandmother).
And we'll say, "We know you're spying on political enemies - just like Nixon," and they'll have nowhere to go. And so we repeat that meme, louder and more often: JUST LIKE NIXON. And again, they'll have nowhere to go with that - there's no good response that won't raise more questions and add more validity to the charge.
Yeah, that'll work...remind people how you guys can't rip yourselves away from the past. Let them see you haven't had an original thought since Watergate.
There is no way they can defend against a relentless onslaught of that, unless they're willing to open up the NSA program (and every freaking other illegal COINTELPRO program that they're running) to scrutiny. Which they're not.
Defend against it? Hell, I want to ENCOURAGE you to do this. Aside from the fact that you'll look like a raving, neutered idiot without any REAL ideas, even the most "caveman-like" among us (in your eyes that's everyone who doesn't agree with you, which is a big part of your problem...but that's another nuanced subject) want proof.
I swear this guy is a plant...no one can be this paranoid and brain dead can they? Oh please, oh please oh PLEASE...use this idea (I double dare you to infinity)!!!

Think this might be part of the problem?
That, and the fact that their hero Bill Clinton was never guilty of anything in their eyes, despite having been proven guilty time and time again. Shows yet again how selective their standards are.
