Enough of this howling after the Massachussettes Massacre with Scott Brown whipping our idle, complacent President with OUR populist message. Now is the time to come up with a plan, maybe a crazy plan, but a plan to gain seats in the November congress.
Yes. You read this right. I said GAIN, not lose, seats in the Congress.
We just have to co-opt our GOP populist howlers by using their dirty tricks against them. Harness the populist rage again and take back this country from the GOP and the Conservative Dems.
Forget being a nice guy, talking Senator talk like John F Kerry. that got you NOTHING. Time to play the GOP game against them. PLAY HARDBALL
279 days left, START TODAY
Get a Hollywood Producer to run this, Watch the Movie Wag the Dog. That’s what we have to have. But not a name producer, some unknown producer with political instincts.
FIRST this is a three act play. First Act; Make the Dems that are conservatives or traitors to the liberal cause WALK THE PLANK.
Establish a dozen or two congressional inquiry committees (where the Dem Chairman isn’t already compromised).
The Committee Chair sets up inquiry’s (don’t call it an investigation) agenda. Subpoena the bad guys, and some good guys, and televise them on CSPAN.
Figure out who you want the bad guys to be. The roles are Wall Street Fat Cats, Insurance CEOs who make millions, lobbyists like Billy Tauzin (former Louisiana Senator)
Must get new people to become the good guys. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, they are too easy to hit by the GOP to put them out in the lead. Some new, young, inspiring people that are state legislatures like Scott Brown was.
SCOTT BROWN THE GOP
Inquire, Inquire, Inquire
Don’t adjourn the congress, keep it in session for the next 200 days, sure some days not many people will be there, but keep it going. This could be the legendary Long Parliament, like in England. It needs a cool name. The congressmen can raise money from washington DC by a telephone. They don't have to be back in their district that much.
MAKE THIS A LEGENDARY CONGRESS.
There won’t be much legislating done in this election year. This could be a watershed election with the Deems losing control unless they do something now. But pass simple, easy to pass, legislation that will help people out like help for wounded vets. Something that means something to people on a symbolic level. Make the GOP look like Jerks if they vote against it.
SECOND ACT
Starts on the July 4th Weekend.
WE ARE WINNING THE WAR, So a lot of troops come home to parades. (the message is that the Dems won the wars, the idiot Republican started them and them messed them up).
Ticker-Tape parades (in many parts of the country), flags waving, all the usual GOP stuff, but this times the DEMS are running this show. WE WON THE WAR
Patriotism raised to the third power.
July and August should be how great we are doing creating jobs and winning wars. Highlight each large bunch of people hired. The media will eat this up. Instill confidence in this government. Just don’t cover the people being laid off. Sort of like the Iraq War. Just cover the good stuff, never cover the bad stuff. CONTROLL THE MEDIA. They love the Dems, and really want to help. If this story is great they won’t cover the Tea Bagger rallies in August.
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, it didn’t happen. Apply this to the tea baggers. Drown them out.
Put Dem operatives at ALL THE TOWN HALL meeting where the Dems have a change. CONTROL THE MICs, just like the GOP did. Copy their tactics, and turn them against them.
ACT THREE The final 100 DAYS
July 25th to Nov 2nd (the FINAL 100 DAYS) is the parade time. We are going great. Hearing are going on tying the GOP into knots. They will be distracted with the hearing while we are winning the elections.
NO SUMMER RECESS. Keeps congress going. Coordinate schedules, keeping most congressmen in races with no competition back in the Congress banging on the good-times drum. If you are in a tight race them go out and campaign.
THE APPEARANCE OF SUCCESS is ALL THAT MATTERS. That's what the GOP has brainwashed people to believe the last thirty years, so we have to use that. That's how people think
REMEMBER THAT.
