The ONLY two talking points Dems need to win in November!!!!!
1.) Bush lied.

2.) Then he fucked it up.


This can be applied to the Iraq invasion, the budget (think lies about where the tax cuts are going); the Medicare prescription drug non-benefit (cost is several hundred million more than they said)...


....Keep going...this applies to EVERY issue.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

1. Great. But, politicos can't use that language

Bush misled then sped -- over the cliff

Bush lied the pied -- and the stink scares help away

Bush scammed then scrammed

Bush lied

Then cooked the books

Bush Lied

then bungled
then fumbled

Trying to improve. But only profanity works.

2. Why not?
Remember the interview where he said "Did I expect George Bush to fuck it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did."

There's no way that someone as bright and aware of himself as Kerry would just "slip." That was intentional.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but if he were to do the same thing again we all know what would happen. The Repukes would start wetting their pants and crying about it all over the place. The donwside is that it doesn't look Presidential. The upside is that it would get repeated. Over and over again. And to be fair, it's as direct and accurate of a talking point as there is.

3. Either way, the point is to keep it simple. Simplicity wins...it's a sad
commentary, but people can't grasp complex issues, nor can the dolts in the media. Keep it simple, and repeat it over and over and over. You can't have a serious discussion about issues with the pathetic state of American media--they can only grasp tlaking points, and you have to feed them what they'll eat!!!!!!!!!!

4. It would be great to have a bunch of surrogates running with this.
