How to respond to Puff and the Dems new Tack.
TOH

Posted on 01/04/2002 9:39:35 AM PST by The Old Hoosier

There's already a thread up for Daschle's speech. We need to develop some talking points to counter this siliness.

The dems obviously want to make the loss of the surplus into an issue. Here's my suggested reply: "We wisely spent it to rebuild New York and increase our national security. That's what surpluses are for."

Any other ideas are welcome.

The administration, Senate, and House should immediately get a half dozen telegenic, well spoken members from the House, Senate, and Economic team to study "talking points" meant to embarrass Puff and tell the truth. They all go on the talking head shows and repeat, repeat, repeat the points so the sheeple understand

How about" we bailed private industry out to the tune of 15 billion and established a terrorist victims enrichment plan that will bankrupt the nation if applied to future events"(God Forbid).

These are not the actions of a "conservative" government.

World War II was won on borrowed money. The cold war was fought on borrowed money. Now the world is more prosperous and freer than at any time in history. The surplus is American and not Democrat money. Democrats - like Bill Clinton and Tom Daschle still think the job of spreading freedom is over. 911 demonstrates that America must still shoulder the burden of guardian to the free world. Maybe Daschle will want to build a new mosque at WTC site.

Daschle is a mean-spirited left wing partisan who loves to demonize, scare old people, and lie in order to gain power. He really is an ugly human being.

Puff Daschle's soft-spoken fascism is BEGGING to be parodied. Where the heck is Paul Shanklin on this? Maybe a little ditty on how some of Hitler's edicts would sound in Puff's voice, to bring home the point to obtuse liberals.

That would presuppose that the Republican Party had a clue when it comes to politics in the Media Age..... they don't.

Good point, my FRiend...Shanklin's unique ability to sing impressionistly would be hilarious when applied to Puff Daschle!!

The RATS started out 2001 claiming that Bush was ruining the economy by talking it down. While I don't agree with that, look who's talking it down now.

The fact is that the economy was stressing during the Stainmaker's last term. The "you're talking the economy down" talk was a coverup of that fact. The RATS think they've mastered coverup. They either say "It's the Republican's fault" or when all else fails they say "Everyone does it."

The RATS really do believe in recycling. They use the same tactics over and over and all we have to do is recognize the patterns. For example: their attacks on Rep Prez candidates is always either they are mean or they are stupid. Over and over it is basically the same thing.

The economy argument is the same argument recycled as well. If the media wasn't so dishonest they would recognized the contradictions in the RAT economy story.

Remember when the economy took a small down turn during the presidential elections of 1992, then, began to recover before the Narcissist Stainmaker was sworn in? The claim was "the economy is recovering in anticipation of ME"

I am humbled! One talking point could be that there will be larger surpluses upon the defeat of terrorism - just like there have been from defeat of totalitarianism, fascism and communism. Dashle priority is on cashing in too soon.

Exactly, my FRiend...methinks we oughtta include Dick Armey, Phil Graham, and Whoever'sGonnaWhupSenatorJawnWahnah'sButtInThisSpring'sGOP-Primary...Ollie North?!

But the "Repeat!! Repeat!! Repeat!!" advice is crucial..."Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!! Daschle and the Left are Liars!!"...and so on and so on and so on.....
