I have no idea as to the origin of this "memo", but it really does not suprise or bother me. It has always been SOP to use issues to knock down the other party. It is commonplace for both the Republicans and the Democrats to plan out strategies. Have you ever noticed that when some big issue comes out, eveyone from a specific party say basically the same thing? This is because they have been provided "talking points" which are usually planned, written and distributed by party officials.
Frankly, I would be dissapointed if the Democrats were not at least exploring all the possibilites available to them. What I wish was, that the Republicans were not so much better at this than the Democrats, who used to be better at it.
