Rove strategy to debut next week.
From Andrew Sullivan, a conservative no less:

Next week, I'm informed via troubled White House sources, will see the full unveiling of Karl Rove's fall election strategy. He's intending to line up 9/11 families to accuse McCain, Warner and Graham of delaying justice for the perpetrators of that atrocity, because they want to uphold the ancient judicial traditions of the U.S. military and abide by the Constitution. He will use the families as an argument for legalizing torture, setting up kangaroo courts for military prisoners, and giving war crime impunity for his own aides and cronies. This is his "Hail Mary" move for November; it's brutally exploitative of 9/11; it's pure partisanship; and it's designed to enable an untrammeled executive. Decent Republicans, Independents and Democrats must do all they can to expose and resist this latest descent into political thuggery. If you need proof that this administration's first priority is not a humane and effective counter-terror strategy, but a brutal, exploitative path to retaining power at any price, you just got it.

2. It attacks fellow Republicans?
We need to research this more, maybe we can backfire it upon the Republicans.

3. The Constitution of the United States of America has no place in
...a fascist dictatorship, so KKKarl Rove is right on target :sarcasm: We will see neocons Christian fascists dancing in the streets the night Bush personally sets fire to the 219 year old document

6. This offers a treasure trove of talking points for Dems!
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 09:35 AM by thoughtanarchist
Edit: spelling


All we need is the echo chamber.


Republicans are complicit in violating the constitution.

Democratic party is interested in upholding the law.

Republican party is weak on crime.

Ours is a nation based on the Rule of Law.

Constitution is the Law of the land.

All politicians take an Oath to defend the constitution of the United States.

The lawful action is to Impeach.

Republicans are complicit in violating the constitution.

Democratic party is interested in upholding the law.

Republican party is weak on crime.

(Refrain)

This message will reverberate, and gives us the opportunity to turn their last remaining perceived strength into a weakness.

8. At least Sullivan is seeing the light...
...more and more genuine conservatives are realizing the nature of this regime. If they really are going to be overthrown, it's conservatives--honorable ones--who have to be part of the fight, anyway...that was true in Britain in 1688, and it was true in America in 1776...and hopefully, 2006 as well...
