When will GOP wake up? Dems do focus groups etc. to find a winning formula, some person or group they can successfully demonize, then they follow that strategy and neutralize the enemy.

GOP sits around with their heads up their a#$%! and think they're going to sweep mid-terms while ignoring Dems attack strategy but they will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Soooooo frustrating!

Democrats really dig public attacks on private citizens. I think that’s how they get their jollies.

“Democrats really dig public attacks on private citizens”

I agree. Yours would be an example of a wedge issue the GOP could use against the Dems.

Good job!

I had to unfriend a person in real life when he started spouting company-line as regards the Koch brothers.

The GOP should have the list of Leftist donors handy to launch their own ads. The billionaire, Steyer, who is giving $100,000,000 to the Democrats to further his climate change religion is an obvious target.

The two Koch brothers have given about $5,000,000 each to the GOP, and they have contributed to the Democrats, as well. These facts refute the “Kochs are devils” mantra of the Leftists who are running scared as they see the Senate slipping from their control.

ALINSKY RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

They are really having to fire up their base this time. Nobody cares who the Koch brothers are, apart from the true nut jobs. Let the Democrats run against the Kochs. The Republicans should focus on hanging Obamacare around every Dem neck.

Two can play at that sort of game. They attack the Koch brothers, so we should draw attention to their money bags such as George Soros.

When your argument falls flat demonize someone on the other side. It’s a tried and true tactic by the Left.

In 2000 when I was working on the first marriage initiative in California the media was desperate to make it about the sponsor, Air Force hero and State Senator Pete Knight. We refused to play along. He just smiled and politely declined interviews referring the media back to the campaign. All of our press avails and media appearances were with assorted celebrity supporters and spokespeople. We kept change the “face” of our campaign so that all that was left was our message - and we won big.

I had no idea the Koch brothers were running for office.

Is that illegal or something?
