We need people on MESSAGE.

While the White House and its minions (as on Fox News) pushes the War on Terror as a way of framing (i.e., "hiding") the Iraq issue for the election, we need people to bring it out of hiding.

I suggest the subject line of the thread is one way of doing this:

"Republicans and the administration don't want to run on the mess they made in Iraq, so like a magician they try to distract our attention by covering it under the umbrella of 'A War on Terror,' thereby hiding their blunders from the conception to the execution of the war, from WMD's and Sadam-terrorist's links to the civil war which is now in full progress. It's a giant shell game. We need solutions, not PR tricks and a magician's slight of hand."

Why can't we frame a message simply and compellingly in order to bounce these jokers. Almost all of the important facts are on our side, especially since the Republicians and the administration has been such an obvious failure by almost all standards?

2. Are We Still In Iraq?
The way the media has been covering it the past few weeks, you would think the war was suddenly over.

Of course, the opposite is true, and it's falling even deeper into CHAOS.

From the CORPORATE WHORE MEDIA? crickets. chirp. chirp.
