Serious question - Who supplies the talking points for the RW now?

[rurallib]

I know during Bushco it was a job shared by Rove and Grover Norquist. Are these two still filling that job? Is there still a morning call to make sure all are in line? Seems there is still some form of lockstep going on. I can't believe Boner is smart enough to make up talking points let alone keep the zombies in lockstep/
While we poke at limpy as the new leader, I doubt he gives enough of a shit about anyone but himself to do that much work.

1. I think Rove still has his fax machine humming to a few

high profile friends.

2. Good question

My understanding it is used to be the 'gang of five', but I have no idea if they are still influential or not.

Supposedly Representative Jack Kingston does it now.

5. More so than Rush?

9. No, I'm just making noise. I imagine talking points are generated

from their think tanks.

[Catshrink]

13. That was my thought too...

Probabaly from the American Enterprise Institute, Cato, and what's the other big one? I can't keep them straight. But where do they get theirs talking points from? It's like they're distributed and all the RW talking heads :puke: the same thing. I love it when Keith or Jon Stewart has them on.

10. Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and Rick Warren. n/t

[Catshrink]

14. Bachmann and Palin are too stupid.

I don't know about Warren. Does anyone listen to him?

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Yes. And?

The question in the OP was who is supplying the GOP with talking points.

Not, who has good ideas for the GOP.

[Catshrink]

17. Oh.. good point.

I don't think they do think. I wanted to quote Ugarte from Casablanca but it doesn't fit. Maybe I can't think either or I'm too tired.

[ColbertWatcher]

19. When discussing the GOP it's best not to think. n/t

11. As I recall, it used to be a "blast fax" from the RNC

Which meant of course, that it came directly from the blood-stained desk of Turdblossom.

I have NO IDEA where it comes from now.

One thing's for sure. It ain't coming from either Boehner's or Steele's office.

12. Rush - That would explain the yo-yo talking points

The Repugs have nothing.....

[Imagevision]

16. Lately? Cheney - Cheney - Cheney....

18. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

(the curtain is pulled away to reveal an impish Karl Rove still pulling the levers and pushing the buttons). Plus, as a regular on Faux he can sell his evil wares first hand. I'd bet that Cheney is still calling some shots too.
