Danni,
Yeah, I wouldn't want to have to defend the Dem's records either, so your strategy sounds like a good one, except...
1. The Dems have done nothing to stop the spending the Reps indulged in so heavily...they've had 2 years to do SOMETHING about it....
2. They plan to jack everybody's taxes through the roof.
3. They have no plan to reduce the price of gas, but many of them have favored gas-tax hikes in the recent past.
4. Democratic congresses NEVER balance budgets or reduce deficits....
5. When they lose the War, gas prices will go WAY up, as our sources of oil fall under Iranian influence...they will not be nice to us in setting the price.
So, what do they really have to talk about?
Race.
Gender.
Sock it to the rich!
Same old shit. People have heard it all too often. It is no longer convincing, since 60% of Americans own stock now and have a direct financial interest in corporations doing well. Dems know this, that's why they've prevented the fixing of Social Security...which keeps helpless old people beholden to the government in a way it was never intended.
Yeah, I'd attack too if I were them. It's just finding a good one.
Wait a minute! Weren't we supposed to rise above attack politics and stick to the issue that are important, like:
1. Losing the War
2. Jacking up your taxes.
3. Ruining the healthcare system for everyone.
4. Making the public schools worse...oh, that's right, they haven't really been talking about that one.....
Hmmm.....very tight spot.... Oh, I know!
MCCANE IS OLD! MCCANE IS OLD! MCCANE IS OLD! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! MCCANE IS OLD! EXPERIENCE...Oh wait, that one doesn't work...CHANGE! MCCANE IS OLD ! CHANGE!.....
GODDAMN AMERICA! Oops! CHANGE! CHANGE! SIEG HEIL!
