Questions anyone?
Is the powder dry enough yet?

At what point do the Democrats unload some high explosives on the Republican propaganda machine? Why are they afraid to blast Republican lies out of the water?

And why is it that all we ever seem to see and hear on the corporate media is the Republican point of view, either from McConnell, Boner, Gingrich, et. al. ?

The Democrats better start firing for effect because soon their dry powder will be dampened by Tea Bag piss.

1. I've been saying that a lot lately - their Noise Machine is better than ours (I don't
think we have one). People say "well I don't hear the Dems saying....." but they're saying it, just not getting the coverage.

3. Their noise machine is 95% of the media. We only we a neutral internet
Considering those odds, it amazes me that we are even in the game. Yet on an issue by issue basis we win hands down.
Where we lose is with blue dog Dems who make it look like the Dems are split and blithering. The 95% repug media exploits the differences and leaves indelible bad images of Dem politicians.

2. It is very difficult to stand there and call someone a LIAR if you have ever been guilty of it yours
What politician has never told a Lie? Calling them on their LIES has to come from other sources like Keith or Rachel or Major Newspapers or Magazines or Blogs......We need to repeat their LIES and try and get as much attention to them as possible...It is a task that would overwhelm almost any investigative body. Their LIES are constant and virtually everywhere..

4. Is this in response to the news yesterday that the Democrats have started to unload on the Repubs?
Trying to seem like a prognosticator when the bird has already flown the coupe?

5. Let's hope
They've responded with enough force to turn the tide. With the current vote tabulating devices the Republicans only need to be within 5 points in the polls to rig an election without anyone questioning the results. Look at what happened to Max Cleland in Georgia. And Remember Peter King (R-NY) declaring in 04 that the election was already decided and it was all over but the counting and "We'll take care of the counting."
