Election Year Distractions
It looks like the media is setting us up again--

Kobe
Euthanasia
Partial Birth Abortions
The Pledge Case

If this remains the media agenda between now and election 2004, the Democrats lose...

Distractions!!!

No doubt they will bring back the sharks :(

1. Culture-war type shit
gay marriage, multiculturalism, affirmative action, liberal bias in media and higher education, abortion, ten commandments, flag burning, etc. etc.

2. The quasi-religious association of "Good News!"
This *is a religious war, right? So why not cloud it with religious phrases. Keep it all on the subliminal track.

3. Here's my take..
The democratic party could possibly do the biggest disservice to itself in the upcoming election year with one simple action; starting another recall action in California.

Not only will this take much needed attention away from pres candidates, it will start up the GOP mudslinging corps and they will start in on a new campaign of villifying the democractic party. So much for winning that presidential election! :hurts:

4. You left out one big thing.....
When Rove orders the plug pulled on Reagan the second the gavel goes down at our convention next summer.

5. They're "Exposing Dangerous Liberals"
The more issues that will bring out 'A mindless mob of communists and terrorist supporters' the better.

Neat trick.
