RepublaJoe Lives!
Tried to leave this at ConnecticutBLOG, but my browser crashed on HaloScan.0 comments
Anyway, I cross-post it here. I'll try to re-cross-post it there when I can get through.
G.N.
===============================================================
STOP!
It's important for all of us to stop asking philosophical questions about what Joe Lieberman's future decisions might be!!!
FOCUS!
Accept it.
The prom king broke up with us.
Joe is now the Republican Party candidate for Senate in CT.
Period.
We no longer have time to fret about what Joe may or may not do in the future. Joe doesn't even know all he's capable of, for pete's sake. Face facts. Karl Rove doesn't need to send us a press release.
AS OF NOW, we go after Joe AS THE REPUBLICAN! With everything that implies. Fine, Joe wants to court R's, then he's going to get everything the other R's will be getting.
We are now going after the Republican incumbent for the Senate seat from CT.
Forget Iraq. That's old news. Been done. Even now, Joe's using it as a shield. You now use every other vote he's taken or speech or appearance he's made against him.
We have the best of all worlds here. While Joe's votes have been too conservative for us, they've been TOO LIBERAL for R's!!
Democrats and Independents will, most likely veer towards Ned Lamont.
Since he will draw his strength from Republican turnout, our goal is to make Joe anathema to Republicans.
Cease ALL talk of Joe and Democratic themes.
"Joe: Not good for Republicans?" is our new focus.
"Why aren't Republcans turning out for Joe?"
"Just how bad will Joe be for the Republican Party?"
It fits, whether you speak of either during the race itself, or if he wins, as a R Senator.
"Will the R's get stomped in Nov. in this anti-R environment by Joe's drawing out a rabid Dem crowd?"
"The coming anti-Joe tidal wave"
What if he were to win?
"Can R's stomach Joe's LIBERAL positions from over the years?"
"Is Joe TOO moderate for R's?"
"If Joe flushed the Dems down the toilet for his own ego, WHEN will he do the same to R's?"
Joe fought with D leaders, can he be counted on to support R leaders when it really matters to them? Or will he simply be a pain in the ass to R's as well?
Simply Joe-for-Joe's-sake -- as a R, as well as a D.
As a Republican, Joe officially becomes TOO LIBERAL!!!
Joe is WAY TO THE LEFT OF moderate R's Lincoln Chafee and Arlen Spector, who've had to fight off strong challenges from good ol' American, god-fearing conservative R's.
Get that lunatic fringe into the lather they so love being in!
Plus, Joe can't be trusted by good, conservative R's. This is just too iffy a bet, Joe's too much a loose cannon for conservatives to embrace him fully without the slime getting all over their own suits.
Remember, conservatives don't want Joe, George Bush wants Joe. But, then, Bush wants AMNESTY for illegal aliens!
Forget Iraq.
"Do you support AMNESTY for illegal aliens, Senator?"
Watch the R's take out the long knives.
Wrap EVERY SINGLE smelly piece of R fishwrap 'round and 'round the Joementum until he's fighting for air.
He's no longer Joementum, even.
He's now:
"RepublaJoe, The GOP Foe!"
If the DoD job rumors are true, can Bush afford a SoD who just botched his own campaign up so badly to take over the mess at Defense? Will Joe become an EVEN BIGGER Democratic pinata as SoD than Rumsfeld has been? Does Bush need all that much more bad press?
Ladies and gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES!
You know what to do.
