Reply #8: Hey! That was MY idea!

Just kidding -- sort of...

Last Wednesday, Elementary Penguin started a thread: Friend in Kerry Camp wants suggestions for JFK response to Torturegate!

Here is an excerpt from my post on that thread:

What I REALLY want to see is a BIG theme! Like "What is America?"

So design a campaign that actually calls on people to ponder something. Pose the question: "What kind of America do YOU want?" Get OUT of the Repug frame of "War on Terror" and "security" and such, it's all bogus anyway.

Create an entirely new frame: "Let us come together to be the BEST of ourselves. Let us live up to our highest ideals of freedom, courage, equality, and rule of law. Let us be a light in the world -- not by empty words which are betrayed by actions that have created more anger and hatred in the world -- but by living up to the true heart of what America has always striven to be, and CAN be again."

Here's what it says on MoveOn PAC:
"Go Big! Ask More From Us!"

Do great minds think alike? ;-)
