Perhaps the GOP is overdue in trying to mirror the losers' tactics of the communists.
Yes, this IS a war. Winner take all...
A word to the wise.

House Democrats should launch a media blitz as soon as the Supreme Court rules Thursday on President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, according to a strategy memo obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The memo, from the House Congressional Democratic Leadership operation, advises members to be on the alert Thursday morning to "quickly and effectively" communicate with media and constituents "as soon as the decision is announced."
The memo outlined a game plan to use traditional media--plus FaceBook and Twitter to "serve as a way to inform your followers of the Court's decision while adding your voice to the conversation. Members should be prepared to have a concise message to send through these accounts once the decision is released."
Of course, there is also the usual press release: "Members should be prepared to have a statement written quickly, once the decision is released, to send to press and post on his or her Congressional website."
After the first wave of comments, House Democrats next are advised to hold a telephone town hall Thursday and through the week.
"While still in Washington, a tele-town hall will allow Members to speak directly with constituents about their positions and answer questions stemming from it."
There are certain rules about taxpayer funded communications that Members have to be careful about, the memo stated.
"Be mindful of tele-town hall franking rules if your office is in a blackout period and contact the House Administration Committee at 202-225-2061 with any questions. A draft script for announcing a tele-town hall to your constituents and vendor resources are available on DemCom."
There are also some more standard suggestions, such as booking interviews with editorial boards, reporters and bloggers. "Before the ruling is released, contact print reporters, bloggers, and television stations to schedule an interview following the announcement. Members can also contact local editorial boards about the possibility of penning an op-ed following the ruling."
That can be buttresses with mail and e-mail. "Once the decision is released, compose correspondence to send those writing and calling your office, as well as targeted constituents in your district."
The Supreme Court is ruling as members head home for a summer break. Members are being encouraged to "hold events underlining the importance of the Affordable Care Act," with guidance available to work "with health care groups and how they can help you find Americans and small businesses benefitting from the law for your event."
There are even suggested sample events, such as holding "a press conference with those helped by the law, such as young adults able to stay on their parents' coverage, seniors paying less for prescription drugs, or women whose gender will no longer be considered a pre-existing condition."
So if the libs have all this cash and the Rep have non, how did Walker win?

***There are 14 liberal groups that have a billion dollars in assets.***Wonder how much of that is taxpayer money?
Media CONSTITUENTS?
Sorry, RINO business-as-usual losers...
As a free American, I can and will spike the ball to my heart's content.
You clowns are STILL part of the problem.
On their "Obama-Phones" no less.
Thanks STARWISE.
At age 25 I had already been through four years of the military, been in a combat zone, been to college and was in the working sector; married with a town home and a kid on the way I asked for no help, I did it myself.
These sniveling "kids" today at 25 are going to be the ones still complaining at 45, and 55, and 65.
I bet MSNBC and CNN and CBS and ABC and FNC have all the anecdote sob story performances lined up if not already in the can. I bet there is already video of “i can’t believe the USSC overturned the will of the people” even though the opinion is not released.
may?
strike that.
WILL
They fear us.
We outnumber them .. physically and ideologically
(But, those billions of joined $$$ pay for the thug rally protestors in huge numbers
to make the evening schmooze that sways the uninformed, buys the untruthful ads, hires the internet thug posters on Facebook, Twitter, websites, etc., who brainwash young skulls full of mush, and fund the gatherings of the lib freaks, etc. etc.)
Horowitz addressed this point about how Scott Walker won despite the dems financial advantage....
Horowitz’s response: “People are waking up!”

IMO, the liberal philosophy is:
more words makes me more right
more passion and emotion makes me more right
A calm, rational and short reply is thus inferior to a verbose plea or an impassioned shouting match.
And the Slave Party operatives have their talking points and the consultants have rehearsed with the empty suits in expressing their breathless aghast!

Roll 'em!
Does this memo mean the ruling is in their favor? Or is this a “get ready to spin it either way” notice?
Understand that neither my opinion, nor your opinion, counts in this conversation. Understand only that the Obama administration only cares about preserving Obamacare and its long-term radical promise -- in whatever semblance they can maintain.
There are arguments that the left may actually view the stripping of the Individual Mandate from the act as being an opportunity.
Because other provisions of the act require the insurance industry to a.) cover everybody, regardless of pre-existing conditions and b.) accept any and every application. Meaning that people could go completely without insurance, without penalty...until they suffered an injury or disease and needed it.
Of course, the industry would have to raise their rates to reflect the new higher (and certain) risk factor they were working under. Under these circumstances, why would anybody buy insurance...until they needed it? Which means it wouldn't be "insurance" at all -- merely a payment plan for projected costs.
At this point, insurance providers quickly leave the market...leaving it to the government to provide coverage as the "insurer of last resort"...achieving the single-payer plan that Obama and the Democrats wanted in the first place.
Of course, at this point, the Democrat's hopes hinge solely on Obama's re-election and re-gaining control of Congress. But they will do whatever they can to keep their options open...until that opportunity is closed off.
If by 'strategy' you mean "reach across the aisle, then yes. {By "their agendas" I'm assuming you mean the Democrats's or perhaps the globalists's.}
