At the Daily Kos, they're feeling cocky after the last two debates, insisting the Dems won both. "LeftHandedMan" wrote "Obama got Romney laughed at. F---ing laughed at. Taking it to them is better. Taking it to Movement Conservatism itself would be best." He insisted it should be sitting on the ash heap of history with communism.
He wrote of a ridiculously wimpy news media and Democrat establishment: "Sadly, the Movement Conservative Right, free of having to deal with such troublesome matters as 'facts' and 'math', and aided by a methodically gelded traditional news media, has also benefitted from the Democratic Party being far too nice for its own good."
On and on the rant went:
The Right is not discredited, the same shit works over and over again because it is still credible and viable, and this reality slapping us in the face like a massive dead fish over and over again never changes how we don't tear down conservatism itself.
Let's call it "the Reagan is So Obviously Ridiculous We Can't Lose" fallacy.
In the aftermath of Obama's win, yet another in an endless series of reminders that these guys can't win a fair fight, I feel like we really should be tearing Conservatism itself apart based on the evidence we keep being offered by how pitiful the GOP is when faced with strong defenses and clear punching back...
But while I will always agree that the establishment political media is a rather useless castrated murder of fail, yes, absolutely, that is true, I have to say. In a two party system, there is only one party, one poltical force, that being the Democrats, who can truly check, and then rollback, the poisoned fruits of modern Movement Conservatism and the misrule that always seems to follow gains made by the extremist Republican party.
Movement Conservatism should be as seriously considered as Communism at this point.
Should be, but isn't, and largely because Movement Conservatism keeps its nose clean and its reputation intact even when individual Republicans get the royal shit kicked out of them. Time to take things to another level. Attack Movement Conservatism itself as well as taking it to the latest GOP hack, all the evidence is there that its a great idea.
We should do the foundation beneath Romney's feet, what Obama did to Romney himself tonight. Do it harm. Make that harm stick and make it unspinnably the story.
Attacking Movement Conservatism, and attacking it pointedly as a tried and definitely failed ideology, is fundamentally the key to not only beating Movement Conservatism, but making sure that it stays hobbled and is not quickly coming right back like some political Jason Vorhees or Michael Myers with its always everpresent machete raised.
He concluded with more media-bashing: "Going forward, no rank and file Democrat should ever assume the political press will do its job, that both parties will be held to the same standards by the media elites or even the beltway political establishment itself, or that the public will just 'get' that something that is pure bullshit is bullshit."
