When you have to be schooled on how to talk tough on an issue that you really don’t care about, it’s called “acting”.
Dems go to talking-terrorism school
““The Democratic approach on security — or at least my approach — is that we know how to be tough and smart, not tough and reckless,” said Harman, a Blue Dog whose district is home to an enormous Air Force base and a number of intelligence contractors. ‘For some Democrats, this is difficult.’
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) attended one of Harman’s sessions when he was running for office in 2008. Now the president of the Democratic freshman class, he helped lead a session for other Democrats late last month. He said his party has to ‘avoid the trap of looking soft and weak’ and that ‘there are strong adverbs, adjectives and verbs as opposed to weak.’
One example he offered: ‘I’m going to fight for American interests abroad” as opposed to “I’m going to defend American values.”
Does this also include posture training? If so, I wanna see the pictures of these politicians walking with a book on their heads.
