Do people believe Democrats are responsible for the mess we have?
Just like so many believe Saddam was responsible for 911? We are fighting a war we were lied into. An economy going south. Civil liberties being shredded. Huge financial and trade deficits. Growing numbers of people without healthcare. A significant portion of workers becoming very poor. The very name of America being despised throughout the world. All due to Republicans. Yet from the media you would get the impression that all this is the fault of Howard Dean and obstructionism of Democrats.

1. The media coverage of the Dean "issue"
has been overblown and ridiculous. However, I haven't found any MSM stories suggesting, in ANY fashion, that Dean is in someway responsible for any of the list of problems you cited or for that matter the obstructionist congressional Democrats are responsible for this list.

Media coverage of Republican miscues and misdirection have been shockingly tame or non-existant but they really haven't been beating up Democrats about the state of the nation.

7. And they are STILL trying to blame FDR for everything they don't like
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 01:40 PM by havocmom
Just cuz he clamped down on Bush's grand daddy and his banker buds for helping the Third Reich with their financial planning and decided old people who had built the nation deserved a little security insurance in their dotage. Geeze, what a bunch of sore-heads

9. Right -- Posthumous Revenge
You heard Bush's swipe at Yalta last month, didn't you?

The Conservatives have been sitting on this FDR thing for DECADES. Even NIXON wouldn't take FDR's legacy on.

This has gotta have the martini crowd cackling in Newport, on Cape Cod, Beacon Hill, West Palm and the Hamptons.

8. What I am getting at is.
Do you think there are some Americans who still believe the Democrats run this country. It just has not yet sunk into their brain that, in fact, the Republicans have the WH and Congress.

10. Of Course They Think That
Because Faux News has told them to think that.

Remember the "Big Lie" theory. Served Hitler well, until it didn't.

4. Have they blamed Bill Clinton for Pearl Harbor Yet?
OF COURSE it's all the Democrats' fault.

I can usually bring the screed to a stop, when I find myself among RW'ers, by asking rhetorically if they've blamed Big Bill yet for Pearl Harbor.

Reductio ad absurdem. I admit it.
