Any propaganda uses had better be incredibly simple or the voters won’t understand it.

"voters won't understand"

You mean about 35 to 40% of the voters. Conservatives understand what happened. And probably a good percentage of libs do to. But the ignorati, the great majority of Dem voters, do not have a clue. The story must be told however, and the person telling it has to be very good. If a conservative candidate can just convince about ten to twenty percent of the ignorati who vote, a Pubbie will easily win in 2012.

it won’t be a game changer- today’s GOP is stupid and they fight like girls...the rats will call the GOP hurtful if they bring up the topic and the GOP will back down...

it should’ve been a game changer in 2008;

1- Jim Johnson/CEO Fannie Mae- $90/mill in salary over 6 years and he cooked the books....then began an obama economic adviser throughout the campaign...

2- obama’s connections to harold raines....

3- obama, chris dodd, joe biden- biggest recipients of campaign contributions from fannie/freddi....

barely touched in the campaign by mccain/palin.....

if the GOP was really serious about fighting this they would be demanding of audits and investigations into fannie/freddie since 01/2009 caling for transparency in government....

Use cap and trade schemes rather than command and control to control carbon through the market — and by creating an international market that will make money for financial firms.

I wonder how THIS will go over...it feels good to be right. Now let’s see how they come after these authors.

Totally agree. Of course, we could do what the democrats do and repeat the gist every time we get the chance: “The Dems colluded with Wall Street and fringe agitators to screw us over!” We try to explain it as much as we can when we get the chance, but we shout the short of it from the mountain tops. People will complain, but it works

What recent Democrat Party recent action has worked for the benefit of the American people?

Obamacare? We are heading for disaster. Business will drop coverage and there will be rationing of helath care.

Stimulus? Short term government union members. Just a waste of money with no long term benefit.

Energy? What an irrational policy by amatures. NO drilling?

Housing? Barney Frank and company.

Budget and Debt? No budget and huge debt.

Jobs? 9 to 20% unemployment. Zero doesn’t know how (and doesn’t want to) to stimulate the economy or grow jobs!

And many more!

We need to wake the idiots up and tell them anyone who votes for a Democrat is voting for Hell in the USA. I think some of them want to go there.

Who is Walter Russell Mead?

Until 2010, Mead was the Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations"

Mead currently teaches American foreign policy at Yale University. He is a Democrat, and has said he voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election.[2] In 2003, Mead supported the Iraq War.

Interesting. Coming Civil War in the Democratic party?

the problem is there are a zillion game changers for the GOP both now and in 2012- the economy, unemployment, oil/gas prices, immigration, voter ID...the last two should’ve been game changers in 2008 but the GOP never fight the fight....

how about the next time zero or any other uber liberal claims GOP immigration policy is hurtful someone with the bullypit in the GOP talks about how allowing lawbreakers to use our freedoms and systems is hurtful and screwing the middle class???

how about next time doggie doo wasserman talks about the GOP wanting to go back to jim crow laws someone in the party with balls gets up and points a finger at her claiming she and her party could care less about the votes of law abiding Americans counting- they just want to stay in power- then talk about the voter fraud of rat backed groups like acorn, more votes being tallied in wisconsin precints then the amount of registered voters in that precint, on and on and on and that the rats want to let the fraud continue????

these are easy arguements to win- but the “braintrust” of the GOP is stupid...they didn’t take back the house in 2010- we, the Tea Party, did.....

I'm with you. It would be just like the Repubs to complicate this into total confusion and ultimately obscurity.

Looks good to me. Let’s find a film maker, present the facts to the American people and then hang the fascist SOBs. But first we seize all their wealth and give it back to the taxpayers.
