Somehow I got on the mailing list for the “Pink Elephants,” which is either an email group for Republican alcoholics or a social group for women of a certain age (like the Red Hat Society, but for the queen size gal).Anyway, they send me “talking points” every week, so I know what I should think about stuff (usually Democrats) for that period. And I feel that I should share the wealth, so here are a couple of points for YOU to talk about:
A Party Divided
Millions of Democrats believe Barack Obama is not ready to lead. Democrats are concerned that Barack Obama does not have the experience, judgment and leadership we need today when our country is facing critical challenges at home and abroad.
This is a “talking point” because Republicans hope that millions of Democrats will believe that all the cool Democrats don’t think that Obama is ready to lead, and somehow they just got left out of loop.
But here’s a talking point for you to spread around at the water cooler at work, or on the Internets, or at the local bar (wherever you choose to hang out) : millions of Americans are concerned that George W. Bush does not have the experience, judgement and leadership we need today when our country is facing critical challenges at home and abroad, including many critical challenges that he helped to create. So, are you going to take leadership advice from the party who gave us the WORST PRESIDENT EVER?!? What are you, STUPID???
But on to the next bullet on why Obama is too inexperienced to lead us out of this mess:
Barack Obama says he wants energy independence, but he opposes new drilling at home; opposes nuclear power; and opposes encouraging invention of an advanced, affordable electric car.
Obama opposes encouraging the invention of an advanced electric car? The bastard! I bet he is also against encouraging the invention of a flying car that can talk and fight crime! And just what is his policy on encouraging the invention of personal rocket ships and energy-efficient death rays? Voters need to know!
On Iraq, Barack Obama says he wants peace, but even today he opposes the surge strategy that succeeded in Iraq and will succeed in Afghanistan. Barack Obama’s policy of unconditional withdrawal could result in renewed violence and a third Iraq war.
Yes, any day now the surge will succeed in Afghanistan. You just keep watching – things could be be hunky-dory over there as early as tomorrow, so just be patient and believe in The Surge. But hey, if it doesn’t look like it’s working, it’s just because you have insufficient faith.
Oh, and it seems awfully wasteful to start a third Iraq war when we haven’t really finished the second one yet. So, I guess that’s why we should vote for McCain: he’s old, and having lived through the Great Depression, is probably pretty frugal. I bet, despite not knowing how many houses he owns, he saves soap slivers and darns his own socks. I think this should be your talking point for today.
Real men don’t “darn” their socks.
They DAMN them!
