Repubs roll out "Strategy Memo" for discussing Iraq war in 2006 campaign. Surprise! It involves deception, lying, and BASH Democrats...

Well, as C-dems.blgspt.com predicted months ago, the Democrats are in full "SNATCH DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY MODE," as Republicans trot out their "new" Campaign Strategy for mid-term elections 2006.... and guess what!

The "new" strategy is the SAME OLD STRATEGY! Lie, deceive voters about the REAL Republican agenda (which is to turn American workers into South-American style poverty cases), and BASH DEMOCRATS.


Oh sure, Democrats will get up in front of the microphones and deliver oh-so-many well crafted speeches on policy and issues and great plans for the future... BUT THEY STEADFASTLY REFUSE to CONFRONT the Republican PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

So the election of '06 is already lost...




EXCLUSIVE: Majority Leader Boehner’s Confidential Strategy Memo For Thursday’s Iraq Debate
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/14/boehner-memo/

On Thursday, the House of Representatives will hold a debate on the Iraq war. Media reports say Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) “hopes to match the serious, dignified tone of deliberation that preceded the Gulf war, in 1991.”
ThinkProgress has obtained a “Confidential Messaging Memo” from Boehner instructing his caucus to conduct a very different kind of deliberation. Here’s a quick summary:

1. Exploit 9/11. The two page memo mentions 9/11 seven times. It describes debating Iraq in the context of 9/11 as “imperative.”
2. Attack opponents ad hominem. The memo describes those who opposes President Bush’s policies in Iraq as “sheepish,” “weak,” and “prone to waver endlessly.”
3. Create a false choice. The memo says the decision is between supporting President Bush’s policies and hoping terrorist threats will “fade away on their own.”
