Bush Uses September 11th and the Prisoner Parade to Score Big Wins for the Republicans


With the "Republicans Must Win No Matter the Cost" PR machine in full throttle, we now see the plan clearly llaid out by Karl Rove and Cheney:

1. Deflect criticism of war in Iraq be labelling dissenters "fascists"
2. Label all Democrats "supporters of Islamo-fascists"
3. Rally the Converative religious vote by convincing them that the End Times are near
4. Rally the moderates by convincing them that an attack is imminent
5. Parade the "high-value" terrorists in front of the camera RIGHT BEFORE the elections - you've been holding on to them for just this photo-op moment
6. Splinter the Congress by asking for legislation that is clearly anti-constitutional  - amend the damn thing so that the Right will always have the Might
7. Play up the prisoners and Sept 11th so that you can ramp up patriotism and deflect criticism about the dismal state of fiscal affairs
8. Attack Bill Clinton in the Press - everyone still loves him, damn it and he doesn't deserve it!
9. Use rhetoric that is purposefully confusing or misleading so that no one knows what you really mean
10. Continue to keep the White House on Lock Down - remember, no real authoritarian state ever lets the People know what is really going on

The sad thing is that with the all the right pieces in place to have the current administration ousted, the Left will inevitably lose because of its own inertia... I see nothing going on out there except poo-poohing, which gets us nowhere.

We should all be concerned about the blatant increase in Executive power, ad hominem attacks against dissenters, and the well-crafted creating of an enemy within - all harbingers of the authoritarian state to come.

It matters not to Rove and CHeney what is constitutional, what is fair play and what is the truth - all that matters is that their party remain in power and have access to all the monies that power allows.
