Well look at how Pete Sessions, the Chair of the NRCC is advising his members to fight the stimulus package. I don't know if this is the most effective messaging ever (Emphasis mine):
"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."
Nope, of course he's not saying the Republicans are like the Taliban. He's just saying Congressional Republicans will study the Taliban to develop their strategy. As head of the NRCC, is he advising Lance, LoBiondo, Smith, Frelinghuysen and Garrett plan to sign up for insurgency training? Is the NJ GOP planning to study the Taliban for tips and tricks too? So much for toning down the rhetoric.
It's in a quicktime format and runs around 15 minutes. If it loads slow for you and stops/sputters; just pause it and leave that window alone for a spell. Then come back after it's loaded and it should play smoothly.
I'm trying to load a second, longer excerpt. If you appreciate this one; the second will be better.
Unfortunately my battery crapped out so the end of the event was not recorded by me. However, I dare say, there'll be more than enough to get the flavor of what our Constitution is up against.
