This is a short Diary... but it's Meme Warefare and I like 'em short, sweet and deadly
Here is my comment on the ABC site featuring Diane Sawyer's Bio
Diane, Last night you misinformed the public as to the Republican Minority's decision to FILLIBUSTER the Reed/Levin Amendment. You said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid intended to Fillibuster. That is untrue. Senator Reid decided to make the Republicans follow through with THEIR threat to FILLIBUSTER. If you have any integrity, you will apologize to the American People. Further, to amend for the disinformation I suggest you devote at least 10 minutes to a discussion on the operation of the Senate and the what a Fillibuster truly is.. something the Republicans called the Nuclear Option. Why don't you open tonight's newscast with the caption "Republicans use the Nuclear Option to prevent a majority of Congress from demanding Bush to begin plans to withdraw from Iraq.
Now, let's hit 'em hard with some Meme Warfare.
Republican Fillibuster
Republicans refuse to honor up and down vote on Iraq
Republicans use the Nuclear Option.
Republicans Push the Button and Nuke the Democratic Process.
Republicans Senators Opt for Nuclear War.
Republicans Hold Congress Hostage.
Republicans Senators Terrorize Congress with threats of Nuclear Option.
Even as the Iraq war is swirling deeper into civil war with bombs going off inside the Iraqi parlament,the Republicans refuse to allow the Democratic Reed/Levin Amendment to require Bush to begin plans for a withdrawal. In fact, the Republicans have dropped a bomb on the Senate Floor and opted to Fillabuster the Democratic Reed/Levin Amendment, a tactic the Republicans once labeled the "Nuclear Option" of Senate Politics.
Bush still pulling Republican strings.
Republicans cower to Bush's demands.
Democrats make a stand on Capitol Hill.
Washington turns into a replay of Gettysburg. The Dems know they have the high ground. Will the Republicans retreat of get slaughtered.
Now's the time to throw an Anvil. C'mon troops channel your inner minuteman (the real ones) and let's take this one house to house. In a war of ideas, each person you encounter is an opportunity to get the message and the truth out there.
