The Republicans do suck at propaganda. These days, they'd have a hard time selling a life preserver to a drowning man (unless he lived in the southeastern US or Texas). As for "excelling at propaganda" in support of liberals, some of that is true (e.g. MSNBC), but a lot of that is just whine made with sour grapes. An image of being fundamentalist-ridden, combined with support for an unpopular war and an image of inept, apathetic governance (not all of which is the GOP's fault) put the GOP (and much of the conservative movement, which is a separate thing entirely) in the position it is in today.

The GOP could not get agreement on a wh*rehouse for shoreleave of the Pacific fleet; let alone get anyone laid. The donks will run it for 80 years. The GOP congress and President Bush started this socialism. Can you imagine if we had let them privatize social security? The retired/disabled class would vote in anyone with a pulse that promised no 38% reduction in bennies.
