Solutions are different matter all together. But hey! Frank Luntz and Karl Rove just keep those ideas coming!

11. Exactly!
Like throwing a war after cutting taxes without raising taxes, or without planning for the post-war, or basing it on lies and not caring if anyone finds them out: STOOPID!

3. But if they are bad ideas
then they are of no use to anyone. Except a select few. So he can stick his ideas somewhere. Somewhere that we can't see them.

6. Their only idea is cutting taxes for the rich
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 12:57 PM by Radical Activist
That's it. That has been the only real Republican idea since 1980.

12. Republicans are the party of BAD ideas.
Repeat 20 times per day. Preferably to another person.

Bad Ideas:

Privatize Social Security
Privatize FEMA
Sell Forest lands
Sell National Parks
Invade another country without provocation
Revise Medicare per big-Pharms guidelines.
No Child Left Behind.

Shall I go on?

If election theft, looting the treasury, bankrupting the nation, torture,
unprovoked wars of aggression, dirty air and contaminated food are ideas, then yeah, they're the party of ideas.

16. Let him proclaim it from the moutaintops: "I have an Idea!"
Let's invade a sovereign nation at the cost of billions of dollars and thousands in American lives.

Let's do what's necessary to raise gasoline prices to debt- and poverty-inducing prices.

Let's turn back the clock on science and proclaim that the earth is only 5,000 years old.

Let's privatize the IRS so that the most private of personal data is released to private companies. In the process, let's collect taxes from those who can't afford to pay and stop insisting on collecting the billions from the wealthy.

Let's eliminate millions of US manufacturing jobs and ship them to China.

Let's be sure to remain someone at the bottom of the list of developed nations in education, science, math, adult literacy, broadband expansion.

Let's continue to cozy up to "our" sort of dictators, just like we did with Saddam in the 1980s.

Let homophobia reign!

Let's ignore just about every scientific study about global warming.

Let's eliminate enforcement of any environmental legislation.

Let's make sure kids in America can't get the drugs they need from such third-world countries as Great Britain and Canada.

Yes, indeed. The party of ideas.
