Reply #49: TOTALLY! I love this - "the objective is to fracture the right wing." [View All]

You BET your bippy it is! This is excellent. We need to keep gnawing away. Sow the seeds of "reasonable doubt." There are more people wavering now, especially as they see the Democratic primary juggernaut dominating the news. The media cannot help but cover the Democrats. It just can't. It can't get around that this is big news because it's an election year and it's primary season and they HAVE to cover it. They can't just go around canonizing or being apologists for bush 24/7 with primary season to cover. They HAVE TO COVER IT. So that means what they're covering is the Democratic viewpoint - it's FINALLY getting out, because all those stump speeches and campaign sound bites and cheering crowds and campaign signs and posters and man-on-the-street interviews with DEMOCRATIC voters (this IS the DEMOCRATIC party primary season, that is), ALL of it is finally getting coverage. There is absolutely no way the Democratic message can be ignored or swept under the rug now, because it's primary season. So FINALLY, our side of it is getting out. And it IS influencing people. The proof is in the polls. Our boy bush hasn't had a strong uptick in his numbers since the SOTU, and it's only going downhill with everything that's happened since.

If nothing else, all this "new" input for America is beginning to provoke questioning. When the voters start hearing the other side of it, they have more to think about, and more to weigh. And for many of them, they're hearing this stuff for the first time.

We need to do everything we can to contribute to that objective - "to fracture the right wing." That's what observers always say is the problem with us Democrats - too many fractured pieces that don't come together in a smooth whole. That's supposedly what the republi-CONS do so well - come together in a smooth whole. Now, it's THEIR turn to be fractured and in disarray. We need to encourage this, every possible way we can.
