One little tactic the Dems could use, but don't - really pisses me off...
In the one debate a few weeks ago Biden used the one liner that all Dems should be working into their campaigns every chance they get but fail to do and that is line that Guiliani can only speak in three word sentences: a noun, verb and 9/11.

Again, we have another lesson the Dems just have not learned. To illustrate, Al Gore's wrongly attributed issue of being a serial exaggerator STARTED in the Democratic primaries. The Dems have to start thinking toward the general and who will be the possible Rethug candidate and start landing some body blows.

So each Dem should say something like, "As my good friend Sen. Joe Biden stated the other day,......."

It's also a lesson taught well by that asshole Rove: turn a person's greatest strength into a weakness.

But do the Dems learn from past shots to the nuts? Heck no.

1. I agree! Works best when it's just hype..Guiliani is no friend to the fire-fighters of 911-- but
he sure made a bundle on speaking engagements!
They need to start checking BIOs and dig for the truth..For example-They should have checked Bush and his family's business dealings...:puke: I hate to say it but we need someone like rove.. makes me sick that we have to stoop so low... Rove, like the president, put politics and power above the good of the people ...His legacy will be that he was the political genius behind getting bush elected...



Wanted-- A rove-like political genius who has a conscience...

3. Love your graphic - which is quite telling too...
Your Rove graphic is a perfect example of how easily people are hoodwinked (not you, but those Republican voters). What really gets me is I think it is perfectly reasonable and important to understand our enemies to defeat them. Here this asshole takes that need or practice and turns it into a sign of weakness.

Heck, if one looks at it, that second sentence is exactly what people like Gen. Petraeus build strategies on.

2. I was thinking that after Biden's "Joe is Right" video, we probably won't
be hearing any of the other candidates referring to him in the future.
