Reply #1: That's a good one! [View All]

To learn how the spin doctors play their game is very interesting.

There's also the question of WHY they do it. Don't they, like us, respect their voters integrity and also respect democracy (in which the real truth is meaningful, while spin is meaningless)?

That's where the 'feel-good'-doctrine comes in; the respect for the Repub voters are non-existent as far as real democracy/truth goes, the point is that they're supposed to feel good. And if you can make them feel good, that's a proof that you have the right thing going.

I heard a Repub spin doctor say this at the BBC during the RNC in NY earlier this year.

When the reporter inquired wether this was the right thing to do, he got the answer: Oh, your'e a JOURNALIST, you wouldn't understand.
