               == Democrat Talking Points FAQ ==

Question:  But, haven't all of the Democratic leaders said 
           the same thing about WMD at one time or another?

Answer:  Of course, but just ignore that.  The objective is to
         win the election, not to be honest!  Make it sound like
         Bush pressured the intelligence agencies into saying this.

Question:  Are we saying that we wish Iraq was still under the
           control of Saddam Hussein?

Answer: Don't get trapped into answering that. Respond by rubbishing
        George Bush at every turn. But, we can't afford to be seen
        as favoring a brutal dictator like Saddam, even though that's
         what it sounds like.  Talk around that.

Question: This is all negative, and is simply an attack on Bush.
          Don't we, as a political party, have to ''stand for 
          something,'' have our own message, or say what we are
          going to do differently?

Answer:  Are you a plant from the Republican Party? You will just 
         have to do the best you can on this.  We have no real plan 
         to do anything different.  Right now, we are focused on
         defeating Bush by pounding on his negatives.  We'll figure 
         the rest out later.

Question:  It is hard for me to seriously push any of these Democratic
           candidates for president.  I mean, Al Sharpton, give me a
            break.  Or, Dennis Kucinich, for that matter.

Answer:  Hold your nose if you have to.  It's for a good cause.  
        Get Bush out at any cost.  As I said, McAuliffe figure out 
        the rest after that, yeah Hillary owns his soul, but oh well.

Question:  Do you realize what you are saying, ''If we're lucky'' 
           more soldiers will be killed, the American effort to form
           a democracy in Iraq will be a failure, and more people 
           will be put out of work. 

Answer:  Now you know how important we feel it is to discredit 
         George Bush.  That's a tough price, but Bush must go at 
         all costs.  Forget everything else.

Question:  We sound like a bunch of pacifists.  Anti-war and all.
           Won't people wonder if we can protect the national strategic
           interest?

Answer:  Stay focused on the messages contained in this document, 
         and ignore those trains of thought that distract from our
         case.  Remember, if you get stuck just shout, Bush is bad!

Question:  What are we Democrats proposing for the economy?  Bush 
           cut taxes.  Are we going to raise taxes?

Answer:  Don't get distracted by this ploy.  Mumble incessantly
         about ''tax cuts for the rich.''  Of course, we can't 
         be seen as in favor of raising taxes, even if that is
         all we know how to do.

Question: Why is the Democrat Party's symbol an ass?

Answer: Well, don't let on that it is the symbol of the evil
        Egyptian god Set. Tell them it's because we are for
        Ass and not Bush. Bring in the Supreme Court Gay
        rights ruling if they don't get it.
