We need another really stinky, vile putrid rethug scandal, and we need it now!

[truthisfreedom]

C'mon! Give us a scandal, somebody! A steaming pile of it!

[Skittles]

1. the GOP is full of steaming piles

here's one:

[Dr Fate]

2. We have plenty of them. Democrats simply refuse to capitalize on them.

If Foley had been a DEM, every single elected Republican would be bringing him up on TV every chance. I have not seen an elected DEM on TV even mention him in weeks, it seems.

Then we have Allen's sealed arrest records- I have not heard any DEMS on TV say much about that one either. Or Woodwards book- all our leaders seemed to have flat out forgotten that one too.

OH-that's right- we are waiting on Republican "journalists" to talk about it some more on our behalf- yeah.

[truthisfreedom]

3. We need to be referring to these clowns as "Mark Foley Republicans"!

Why aren't we fighting dirty like they do?

[dubeskin]

4. Remember. We are the ones with values

If we take away our values, we are just as bad as them.

[truthisfreedom]

8. erm... playing dirty doesn't mean we give up our values.

it's called fighting fire with fire. we just have to be righteous about it.

[KurtNYC]

9. The voters don't perceive a difference

There is no poll showing that Americans think Dems campaign less dirty than Repubs. There is nothing to lose by going with what works.

And simply telling the truth about Foley, Hastert, Frist, Schiavo, Cheney, Rumsfailed, et al is going to SOUND negative. In the immortal words of Colbert -- "the Truth has a well-known liberal bias"

[Dr Fate]

14. Telling the truth about Republicans is not giving up our values.

No one is saying we lie about them like they do to us.

[AJ9000]

5. Believe it or not Melhman himself may bring us even more scandal soon.

[Hippo_Tron]

15. Ooh if his involvement came out in the NH Phone Jamming Scandal

Before election day... That would be so sweet.

[dailykoff]

6. Easy. It's been lying in plain sight for five years

in downtown Manhattan.

But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. :crazy:

[kentjay]

7. story on raw story:saddamn was ready to

give in to the u.s. demands but the rethugs wanted war.but this story won`t fly in the major media market.

[KKKarl is an idiot]

10. No scandal

just the facts. Stick to the facts & all will be won. No need to stoop the republican levels of morals.

[Dr Fate]

12. No one said we had to fabricate or lie about a scandal.

We do not "become Republicans" or stoop to their level of dishinesty simply by making factual statements that happen to make them look bad.

[niceypoo]

11. Bush cut and ran from Saudi Arabia in 2003 as per Bin Ladens demands

Last U.S. unit leaves Saudi Arabia - Security - 363rd Air Expeditionary Wing - Brief Article
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0LIY/is_3_91/ai_110734279

Bin laden issued a fatwa demanding the US military leave saudi territory, and Bush did so. Thats why there have been no attacks on US soil in the last 5 years, because Bush bent to the demands of the "Terrists".

[demo dutch]

13. How about this.. "Money trails lead to Bush Judges"- on Salon.com today

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/10/31/money_trail/index_np.html

Snip
A four-month investigation reveals that dozens of federal judges gave contributions to President Bush and top Republicans who helped place them on the bench

16. winning control of congress due to scandal

means you won primarily because you weren't the other guy.

I would rather acquire control of congress and support for our
progressive agenda.

although maybe a minor little rethug sex scandal would be okay. :evilgrin:
