Jokes about our opponents

ILLUSTRATED: Our party is united with an agenda and a coalition. We are simply choosing a leader.

I have not written a post in a while as our party is having a wonderful primary season that is galvanizing our voters and captivating the entire world. I had been participating with one campaign, but went back to neutrality. Our party is largely unified on an agenda, an agenda that this blog helps articulate in simple terms. We are, however, sorting out who are next leader will be.
In the meantime, here is a humorous post with witticisms all Democrats need. These sassy lines however are not an affirmative message, only comebacks to Republicans. Our affirmative message is basically: "Government is a trust for the public interest; judges should interpret the Constitution as if it is 2008 and not 1789; and America is strongest working with the world community, not against it."

Romney's 3 word telegraph

ILLUSTRATED: I think the GOP just outlined their line of attack for 2008

Mitt Romney used the phrase "surrender to terror" today in describing the Democratic party on Iraq and Al-Queda. Let's break that down:

-George Orwell would point out that "Surrender to terror" is grammatically incorrect (as Romney asserts it) because it is intellectually dishonest. "Terror" is an emotion, not a group. The Republicans want to change our constitution due to fear, and that is surrendering to emotion. It means you don't have faith in the document or the people, and that is the biggest victory for terrorists.

-A "surrender to terror" is not what an Iraqi pullout is. It is reallocating resources and realigning our course in the assault on terrorists. Bush took us off course, now Afghanistan and our own borders are shaky.

-Remember, I suspect McCain may make Iraq a moral decision, which it is. He will portray us as causing a civil war. We must make it clear that if the "surge is working" the Iraqi people must now assume responsibility for creating a new political system. We cannot afford to stay, if we knew the true costs, we would never have invaded in the first place. Having American soldiers die in a political conflict they cannot solve is immoral.
