Republican: "We have to win the PR battle."

[aquart]

Quoted by Bob Schieffer on CBS.

Can you believe they still think the problem is PERCEPTION?

[neuvocat]

Bush's Chief of Staff was a marketeer

so I'm sure he's pushing the GOP to keep sending out the GOP's message no matter what happens.

1. Yes, they think they can do whatever as long as it's gift wrapped

2. Real Americans try to win the Truth Battle

3. They lost the war in Iraq, so I guess this is 2nd prize.

4. That *is* the problem - they still think the problem is PERCEPTION n/t

5. Oh, hell, they...

... know they're all thieves, liars and general all-around despicable shitheels, but they can't exactly run on that reputation, can they? :)

Therefore, it's necessary for them to win hearts and minds with BS. They've been doing that for a long time. They're in trouble now because Bush's teflon coating is quite so good as Reagan's....

6. Boy they really buy into that lame "perception is everything"

crap don't they?

[sendero]

7. The Republican Party..

.... has become the Boy Band of politics, all image and no substance.

Image won't win a war, provide health care or put food on the table. Americans are realizing that real leadership matters and the Republicans offer none.

9. A while back, some of us on DU decided Rethugs should be called

The Dick Army (take-off on Dick Armey). Good name for a band!

[Stinky The Clown]

8. PR and Marketing .... like soap flakes
