In plain terms, Scanlon confessed the source code of recent Republican electoral victories: target religious conservatives, distract everyone else, and then railroad through complex initiatives.
"The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees," Scanlon wrote in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. "Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them." The brilliance of this strategy was twofold: Not only would most voters not know about an initiative to protect Coushatta gambling revenues, but religious "wackos" could be tricked into supporting gambling at the Coushatta casino even as they thought they were opposing it.

| Yeah, I just saw that earlier. Like you said, what we have here was the winning '04 GOP strategy. Worked like a charm, didn't it? |

I saw this, and its something I've been saying since 2004.
Any good businessman knows it... you have to exploit the weakminded masses in order to gain.
It was so painfully obvious when Bush was running that he was using Hitler-esque tactics of rallying the people AGAINST a cause in order to get elected. The causes he used?
Homosexuality and abortion.
So basically, Americans got duped for being so unbelievably naive and foolish as to even care about these two stupid "issues". And now we're all suffering for it. |
