Stop replying to threads righties start that are both wrong and negative to our cause. Let those threads go unanswered. What the righties are doing is using a tired old tactic from their GOP playbook of always trying to control the message, right or wrong.
So if they create a thread that says Obama is bad at math or was born in Kenya, just ignore it. Maybe it will force them to have serious/honest conversations about things that matter.
I'm noticing none of them want to talk about Romney lately. They don't want to because there is nothing good to say. Voting for him would be like putting GW Bush back into office. So they want to make this election about Obama, not Romney. And they don't mind making stuff up.
As we get closer to the election, republicans are going to try to constantly control the message. Remember in 2008 they tried to make an international crisis over Russia and the country of Georgia? This year, so far, they have tried to stir up their base with that FAUX Catholic birth control issue. Funny Obama handled it beautifully and came out looking good with his compromise. So the GOP will just move on and create another made up issue. Always controlling the message.
My GOP buddy called me trying to make a big deal out of the Catholic church/contraception thing and I just laughed it off. I knew Rush/Fox or Drudge got him and every righty on this board riled up with just anothe wedge issue designed to devide us. Don't take the bait. They are just trying to get middle class voters to vote against their own finacial interests with made up wedge issues. God, gays, guns and racism.
And remember when they talk about free trade they mean free to screw over the middle class and poor Americans.
Great example. They ran on jobs in 2010 because we were bleeding jobs and Obama/Pelosi/Reed were in charge. Never mind it was GOP policies that sent those jobs overseas and crashed the economy. Never mind they obstructed anything we tried with a record number of filabusters. They simply said Obama wasn't fixing the economy and his ways won't work. Forget the facts! Remember, they control the message!
But notice as soon as they won the midterm, they changed the subject from jobs to deficit spending? See? They insist on controlling the message.
And why does a liberal media help them? Maybe because it is no longer liberal? Clinton went along with the GOP and deregulated the media. 7 corporations purchased every news media outlet and now they help the GOP control the message. Examples would be how they wouldn't let Monicagate go but they never talked about how Bush lied us into war. Or notice how the media gave the tea baggers all that attention but tried to ignore the 99%ers all over the country? They dwarfed the tea baggers.
Only when everyone realizes the media is no longer liberal and is helping the rich control the message will people stop voting against their own financial interests.
