Set the Record Straight: Tell Us About False, Misleading Attacks

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

If you see or hear Democrat distortions on television, radio, print or during public debates about any Republican, please call immediately at 1-866-NOT-TRUE or go to the Website:

DemocRAT Attacks.com, so that Republicans across the country can be on notice and respond.

If we set the record straight and focus on our positive agenda for the American people, Republicans at all levels will be successful in November.

Over the past two years, the President and Republicans have articulated and advanced a positive agenda for America’s national, homeland and economic security. Democrats have, on repeated occasions, been unwilling or unable to articulate or advance a positive agenda and have resorted to desperate negative attacks for political gain. This web site will set the record straight on the Democrats’ false and misleading attacks and will give you the opportunity to report what Democrats have been saying in your area.

I'm beginning to think the "New Tone" thing was a give 'em enough rope to hang themselves "strategery". The less fuss that was made, the more emboldened and outrageous the Dem's claims have become. McBaghdad was icing on the cake IMHO, Their true motive, power at any cost, has been exposed for all to see and it's not playing too well with the populace.

[PhiKapMom]

Go for it! Whatever they are doing out there will find its way across the Country!

[PhiKapMom]

Thank you much!

Their true motive, power at any cost, has been exposed for all to see and it's not playing too well with the populace.

I'm not sure that sweeping references to "the populace" are quite warranted. The Dems are still getting plenty of cover from most of the media. One of the media watchdog orgs did a report on the coverage of Daschle's Pink Tie Rant, for example, and found that Fox News, and a couple of newspapers, were the only sources that reported the full context of the remarks by Bush that Dasshole and the Grand Wizard were misrepresenting. Dems still get the best of the big media spin, and huge numbers of Americans still buy into it.

Nevertheless, I agree that the "new tone" approach is wearing away at the effectiveness of traditional Dem and pro-Dem media tactics, and slowly undermining the stereotype of "mean spirited" Republicans. Even if it is only having marginal effects, well, elections, and culture wars, are often won or lost on the margins.

I don't know. Where can I find that information? I'd love to have it for my commentary.

It works because Bush isn't looking for a 100% conversion of the populace. He has 40% in the bag already with his base, the Dem's control another 40%, and he's looking to build in the majority in the remaining 20% of the fence setters. Take half + 1% there and your talking possible landslide elections (in picking up seats in Congress) with very long coattails.

[Humidston]

Awesome, PKM. You are fantastic! Thanks for a great thread!

Here's a special bump, from me to you. ;-)

Truth only frustrates and subsequently emboldens the rats to strike out like a badger on PCP.

I am predicting violence at our polling places this election cycle. It will take place about two hours before poll closing, causing petitions to activist judges to force polls to remain open. I am sure they are already rehersing their tactics in New Jersey warehouses. It will take place in every district which is tight. Scripts are being handed out for the news camera interviews as certain as the sun will rise.

It's the pink tie rule. How can you hammer a guy wearing a pink tie? BTW, does anyone know why Daschle always looks like he uses a deep fryer as a facial sauna? He's always got that shiny greasy skin look. Is he applying some sort of stem cell fetus oil to his skin for that Dorrian Gray look for all of eternity or something?

Halloween! Bobbing for french fries instead of apples?

Whoo Hoo! What a winner! Thanks for the heads up and the link!
Must agree with the statement on the website, the Pubbies have tried to present a positive attitude to the nation, which is why the President's ratings are high IMHO! Americans prefer that over the caustic rages of the dark side!

[OldFriend]

Hah, for starters we should just forward the NYTimes, the LA Times, Boston Globe..............hope they have someone designated to search the front page that's supposed to be news and is filled with opinion......and start from there.

Makes me glad I donated to the RNC last week.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for the links! Much appreciated!

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for donating! I was one of the co-founders of the unofficial Let's Dump Nicholson group!

What a change and all for the better!

Makes me glad I donated to the RNC last week.

Hold that thought. Your fun is just beginning.

I made a modest donation ($100) to the RNC back in January (I usually donate either direct to candidates or to my local GOP organization). Since then, I have been inundated with gimmicky requests for more and more and more and more money. I figure they have spent every nickel I gave them, and maybe more, not fighting democraps -- but in soliciting more money from me!

I'll continue to work hard for the ticket, but will think twice before I send'em another check.

[PhiKapMom]

Would agree with too many fundraising letters!

Save the postage would be my motto!

Not only is Racicot a classy representative when he goes on TV to speak for the Republicans, the entire operation seems to be more responsive. When I called they already had a raft of material ready to go on Lautenberg.
