Rossi Releases Latest TV Ad. Democrats Have Aneurysm. And a Point.

Nice catch!

those rebuttals are just astounding.

WHY are those 2 clowns employed?

Dino’s ad is really effective –

of course, like Raygun & Bush (ailes, atewater & rove) there ain’t a lick of truth to it, BUT

that barely matters!

hello dim-0-twits !! you’re smarterer and noblerer and gooderer and betterer

and you still can NOT stuff lies back down the liars throats!

where’d you test market your responses, Queen Anne Library? I’m so happy ya’ll can make erudited convoluted responses – I suppose if your goal is join Greg Nickels & Peter on the lobster end of I-90, down the hall from Doris Kearns and David Gergen – well … keep it up!

do ya ever consider winning? do ya EVER consider making your responses to this liars lies as simplistic as his lies, cuz … it will work a hell of a lot better than Kennedy School of Government speak.

no wonder we lose.

rmm.

I normally think you’re a whack job, but you speak the truth.
Where did you pick up that Jack Kerouac style?

And don’t say “On the Road…”

It’s a little off-putting, and East Coast, but it works.
Barely.

So how would you respond if it were you being asked for comment?

How is it an “aneurysm” to point out that the economic problems Rossi is talking about originated with his political party’s disastrous policies? They’ve been building under the rapaciously anti-regulation Bush Administration, backed to the hilt by Dino Rossi.

Rossi’s clinical history is right, and he’s close on the diagnosis. It’s his treatment plan that’s completely wrong.

oh my gawd!

IF I talk nicer and smarter and gooder, THEN I’ll be invited to the dilettante salons of Queen Anne, Wallingford and Cap Hill!

Then I could run for office as another non offensive pasty milquetoast who won’t scare “the middle” with Dirty Fracking Hippy (DFH) rant!

thanks for your support!

psst! yo, rocket scientist – I was NOT hired to do messaging or communications for major political figures or organizations.

I already have a job. IF I were the boss of either of these two, I’d fire ‘em!

You ever notice how the GOP has extremely cult like behaviors? Just sayin’.

So “I have no idea how to answer such a complex question, so I’m just going throw cracks from the peanut gallery” is what you’re saying.

Shouldn’t you be helping Gregoire cut property taxes for the endowed?

Seems like the “economic collapse” started in January 2009.

Shouldn’t you be helping out at the Kent Rotary Club?

December 2007, under Bush’s watch:

Non sequitur…but I agree with the premise. We are headed into a Jobs Boom and a Great Compression.

I do what I can.

Rossi’s ad is highly effecive. It focuses on the issue people care about: jobs. It admits the problem started and continued under both parties. The responses you see here are sooo intellectual, wonky wonk that I hope murray doesn’t make them in response to this ad. No, what she has to do is talk about how she and the obama team have a plan that in the near term future will create jobs and growth. The infrastructure bank is a tepid start on that, but since they’re basically too afraid to say what they believe — that more debt and bigger government IS the way to growth — they, the democrats are likely going to basically lose this election over failure to message. By lose what I mean is losing the house and almost losing the senate; IMO murray will eke it out. The infrastrucure bank won’t pass mainly because Obama et al. have failed to spend the last year teaching america that yes, dammit, big government and more debt means more jobs and growth and proposerity for all. This fear hamstrings them. It’s why his current proposal is all about tax credits for r and d, etc., and not a simple WPA style “Jobs Bank.” This leaves too many people wondering if it will all work, thus they become easy pickings for right wing lies and propaganda against big gummint. The Rossi ad is effective because it is a toneir way of appealing to repitlian fear (big scary gummint is bankrupting you) and the democratic response largely fails because too often it addresses the future in a rationalistic wonky way instead of inciting repitilian fear (which would be easy to do, if you aptly and appropriately put the blame here it’s meritied: squarely on rossie the gop the banksters and the economic royalists who rig the system for their own profit at expense of the rest of america). Democrats need to start blaming more and assigning it to the GOP not just debating this all like it’s a case study problem in the harvard school of government. (For an example of that kind of approach, see the comment that eaqrmarks are just one percent of spending. That’s a very graduate school level kind of argument, totally missing the emotional chord that earmarks strike in most Americans. Earnmarks are totally corrupt. One percent corruptness means the whole deal is corrupt. for Democrats to defend earmarks or be blase about them is a huge missed opportunity, as they benefit the GOP way more and are a hallmark of how the system screws america yet the dems can’t seem to get on the populist side of things. Typical. The aversion to being populist even where merited is simply bizarre.)

I think there needs to be a little more care in reporting that Dino chaired Ways and Means when all those “earmarks” were written into the budget. We don’t have earmarks in the sense of the term that exists at the federal level. Also, nearly all the projects typically referred to as pork are found in the Capital Budget or sometimes Transportation, both written by a different committee. Ways and Means is responsible for the Operating Budget.

And then they accuse the other party of having that mindset.

In fact, they do that “accuse the other party of something we ourselves do regularly; of course we’re not hypocrites, we’re Republicans” thing all the time.

let me guess, you’re 1 of those well credentialed Dim-0-cratic dilettantes who keeps their job by blaming the underlings for your incompetence, OR, you want to be 1 of those dilettantes, OR, you don’t know what I’m talking about.

I’ve been listening to excuse makers like you, AND your excuse laden horsehit for the yuppie scum of the Democratic Party, way before I lived in Tip O’Neil’s district as a 7 buck an hour cook / serf to the well to do in 1985.

Don’t get me wrong – IF you’re in the first 2 groups you SHOULD blame the underlings – you’ve got decades of losing to lying fascists AND getting hundreds of millions of dollars to piss away every 2 years to lose to those fascists – what the hell are you going to do? Get a REAL job, OR, blame us peanut gallery pee-ons for YOUR incompetence!

p.s. – IF you’re too dumb to know what I’m talking about, you’re a dream lackey!

Funny how the palin-ittes defend the thieving scum bosses and blame the underlings, and the Democratic Leadership Council sycophants blame the underlings and defend the incompetent bosses!

rmm.

Oh, where to start.

-First, I really think you need to look into an anger management class before you blow your head gasket. That or invest in some purple stretchy pants (if its good enough for Bruce Banner…).
-Second, point to me the section where I was making excuses for anything or anyone. I asked you a question for which you still haven’t answered.
-Third, you do realize there is a vast difference between the grassroots activist base of the party and the corporatist DLC, right? While lumping them all into the same boat makes for an easy argument, it doesn’t make it true.
-Fourth, Dim-0-crats. Yea, that’s not catching on. Just let it go.
-Fifth, speaking of word usage, look up the word “fascist”. In the words of the immortal Inigo Montoya, that word doesn’t mean what you think it means.

I LOVE IT!
Call out your dilettante $ocial cla$$ bullshit, and now I need “anger management”.
About the DLC vs. “grassroots” – so you’re NOT paid to defend the pathetic, but, you use the same tactics of the DLC sell outs! Congratulations.
Finally, I suppose your dilettante salon training has made you incapable of understanding that the people HIRED to do message should do message which doesn’t suck! That is kind of tricky to get your head around, isn’t it! But – don’t worry – just blame me and my anger management !!

BTW – there is a diary on dailykos today you’d probably love – the author is Geekesque, a ‘master’ of blaming the heretics for not clapping louder and not being more enthusiastic over 30 years of sell-out-ism to fascists.

(oh! there is that word again! used in a manner NOT approved by the Kennedy School Of Government Political Dilettante Society!)

Hopefully we’ll get to met in meat space someday – I’d hate for you to think that I wouldn’t say all this to your face.
WHO are you, Ms./Mr. Dim-0-crat sycophant ?
