What is the Republican "plan" ??
Nobody has asked them. They say they have one. They say the Democrats don't have one. What is the Republican plan? Can anybody help us out here?

1. Step one: Make the worst foreign policy decision in U.S. history
Step two: Complain that the Democrats lack a plan to fix it

18. Exactly
Edited on Sun Jun-25-06 02:39 AM by Tactical Progressive
It's what Republicans have always called 'taking responsibility'.

Goes for the whole 'war on terra' as well, with them pooh-poohing Clinton's attempts to address the threat of terrorism throughout the 1990's, all the way through Bush's extraordinary negligence throughout 2001. It's never their fault when they do bad things that have horrendous results. Each dawn is a new day for their sanctimonious, unaccountable abuse of power.

It's everybody else's fault but theirs. It's always a clean slate for them in their own minds.

Gosh, you said it better in two lines.

20. It's always worth remembering their treatment of Clinton
who, all things considered, actually made more of an effort to kill bin Laden than has Bush. But he was just wagging the dog, trying to take the public's mind off of real problems like consensual foreplay and the meaning of "is."

3. Lie, Steal, cheat, slander, and put out the non issues such as
abortion, flag burning, gays, more terror alerts and when all else fails bring out the swift boat liers for more lies and slander. SOP for GOP during an election cycle.

6. I suppose we are supposed to guess what it is??
Is it a secret? Do they plan on staying until 2500 more troops are dead? Do they plan on ever leaving Iraq? Are they going to sit Dubya up as the dictator of Iraq, once he is thru screwing America? I wish they would tell us what their plan is??

9. Repug plan? Just keep doing all the same shit over and over
again and pray to the spook in the sky that the outcome is different down the line. That's it.

You do realize all this whining about no Democratic plan is just a scream for help, don't you?

Best thing the Dems can do is just smile sweetly and say "We fixed his Poppy's mess, we can fix this one, too."

They did, they can.

People know.

10. The repuke plan..........
1) Fill as many congressional seats as possible with repukes by stealing as many elections as possible, or keep the dem seats filled by Democrats that can be blackmailed by with info gathered by the illegal NSA surveillance.

2) Keep the American public distracted from domestic happenings by keeping our military involved in conflicts all around the world.

3) Slowly strip non-whites of their right to vote (or have their vote counted) by having them declared suspected terrorists (there isn't even a court proceding necessary to do this anymore)and held in captivity indefinitely. Eventually there will be no need to steal elections because there will be no need to have elections!

12. It's About the OIL
So long as American military forces control Iraqi oil production (the world's second largest confirmed reserves), the world supply of crude can be suppressed. This raises world oil prices.

As oil prices reach record highs, men you never heard of, grey-suited men who control mulitnational oil companies, become obscenely wealthy. Those Republican politicians who receive massive campaign contributions from those same obscenely wealthy men continue to be elected.

It's about the oil. It's about scarcity. It's about OIL SCARCITY.

15. Increase tonnage of bombs and missiles dropped on Iraq
Maybe if we kill so many of them, they will simply stop fighting the occupation. We will rape them with firepower, and we will beat them so hard with it that in time, they will come to love us because we won't give them the option not to love us.

:sarcasm:

19. To keep churning out the catch phrases.
Bring it on
stay the course
cut and run
with us or against us
WMD WMD WMD WMD WMD
911 911 911 911 911
terra terra terra terra terra

They don't have to actually accomplish anything good for the country. Between Diebold and general Democrat ineptitude (which I'm hoping Howard Dean can do somethign about) the R's have been able to get by with just catch phrases. I am still in awe of how much bullshit Americans are willing to take.
