Something else we desperately need to do to win in 2006

[mtnsnake]

We need to show the sheep that Democrats will help them net more money in their pockets than Republicans can. It's as simple as that. Half the assholes of this country vote with their wallets and not their heads. They might tell you that they voted for Bush because they think he's stronger on terror than the next guy, but that's bullshit. That's just an excuse they use when they're really voting for Bush's tax breaks, not just wealthier people but also lots of poorer folks who are being conned by Republican propaganda that Democrats want their hard earned money.

Democrats need to figure out a way to get around this tax dilemma that's costing us election after election. Democrats have done very poorly in explaining how Bush is causing the sheeple more financial hardship than the Democrats policy of "higher taxes" causes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating us lowering taxes, I'm advocating us getting through to Mr and Mrs Sixpack's wallet and pocketbook. The deficit doesn't scare them because it's not affecting them today, not right now, not right this minute. All they care about is now. Money in the short term is what they're most concerned with when it comes right down to it. We have to figure a way to get through to them on this and explain it in terms a 2 year old can understand. Until we make them realize this, I wonder if we can ever win again.

Rich people own and control everything. Very few of them are going to ever back a Democrat, knowing full well that Democrats always threaten to raise their taxes. How the fuck the average American voter can't understand that is beyond comprehension. We've gotta figure out a way to get around this.

1. Republicans are LOW WAGE CONSERVATIVES.

Democrats are LIVING WAGE LIBERALS
Under Republican leadership you get unemployed
Under Democratic leadership you get RISING WAGES

Under Republican leadership you get cuts to education support
Under Democratic leadership you get affordable education

Under der FURER you get mislead into unwindable imperial wars of aggression and AmeriKKKA loosing all semblance of international respect.
Under Democratic leadership you get peace and prosperity.

5. tongue in cheek, but that's what the dems have been doing, promising

us everything some people want to hear, but always coming through on the side of the ruling class and the wealthy.

Barak Obama now on the side of the ruling class.
