“Fellow citizens, if the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain's resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry left never will.”
Here in a single statement George Bush encapsulated the standard Republican strategy of divide and conquer. He divides the citizens of the country into groups that he wants to hate each other: The Angry Left and the rest of us. It was Carl Rove at his best. There are the good folks like us, who will just go to the polls and elect another Republican president and there are those terrible people who want things to change and are angry about it.
If there was any doubt about what the Republicans intend to do this election season you can read Rick Davis’s statement that issues are unimportant this election CLICK HERE.
How do the citizens of this country combat the cult of hate that lies just under the surface of the Republican strategy? Rick Davis gives us the answer—the one thing they fear most: that the people of this country will take a serious look at the record of failure, mismanagement, and outright criminal activity of the present administration and say “THANKS, BUT NO THANKS.”
Let’s keep our sights clearly on the issues and let those who would distract us with smoke and mirrors finally fail to win with divide and conquer tactics.
