Read it and weep. In the Muslim world, the mullahs spread lies about America to young men in order to foment terror for political gain.
Meanwhile, in America, rightwing radio spreads lies about terrorism to an eager audience of impressionable, un-smart Americans — in order to foment the fear of terror for political gain.
Which is more cynical, and which is more dangerous?
Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.
*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
Why are we not hammering the republican guard with their own “FEAR” card? Why isn’t every candidate replaying FDR’s, “You have nothing to fear…; Patrick Henry’s, Give me liberty or…; Ben Franklin’s, “Those who would trade essential liberty…; Why are we not proving that republicans are the party of FEAR, Democrats the party of STRENGTH.
Every republican is motivated to promulgate FEAR as a way to cow the public. republicans want eternal war based on FEAR. Democrats win wars based on STRENGTH.
All the republicans talk about is FEAR, MORE FEAR, AND STILL more FEAR. Democrats should point out that when America was “The home of the Brave” we won wars with STRENGTH AND BRAVERY, not fear/war-mongering and entering fights we can’t finish because we are AFRAID.
VOTE REPUBLICAN, VOTE FEAR. VOTE DEMOCRAT, VOTE STRENGTH AND BRAVERY.
I don’t think we can overplay this, as it is the truth, and most Americans know it.
bush allowed Osama to escape because he FEARED that would end his eternal war. Democrats will arrest Osama, put him on trial, gain a conviction under our laws, and send him to prison to rot, because WE BELIEVE IN THE STRENGTH OF AMERICA AND ARE NOT PARALYZED BY FEAR.
FEAR makes republicans spy on Americans illegally. Democrats are BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRUST OUR LAWS AND WAY OF LIFE.
Make it our mantra: republicans FEAR everything foreign, while Democrats know America’s STRENGTH is what made us a country.
I will never understand how difficult it is to get through to mouth breathing/booger eaters. Even after our dry, drunk prez tells everyone there was no connection between Iraq & 9/11 they still have unshakeable support for the past lies.
Well, we already know their IQ. What did you expect…enlightenment?
Those who support a total failure, blindly following a proven fool over the cliff are by definition mentally deficient to the point of needing “minders” or perhaps “guardians” would be a better term, to “look out for them” which, most obviously George W. Bush IS NOT, as he himself claims to be JUST A GOOD OL’COUNTRY BOY, without much SMARTZ.
And he proves it over and over every time he opens his mouth!
It’s like George Costanza is the President.
