Blow off "Wedge Issues" period. |
|
I don't mean giving up the fight for civil/gay rights, abortion, etc... Let's not just use them as a platform. Stick to the basics, Environment, Education, Jobs... focus on these issues.
Example: When Bob Scheiffer asks "John, what about gay marriage?" John should say "What about it? I'm worried about the environment, education, etc... Marriage doesn't put food on the table, no matter who it involves."
Do you see where I'm going here?
BTW, DU gays, please don't smack me. :ithurts:

5. OK, OK... lighten up. It's been a long week. |

I think too many people thought they were voting for POPE, not PRESIDENT. The religious/moral/"value" issues are BS.
Not to mention that Bush is a LIAR, a MURDERER and a WAR CRIMINAL.

what we really care about. It's the opposition who always defines the argument by focusing on wedge issues. I think from now on we should concentrate on the lies, facism and theft of taxpayers money by the right wing and don't let up. Two, can play the propaganda game.
