A very simplistic campaign theme for all Democrats

[INdemo]

"Are you better off now than you were 6 years ago?"

[Smarmie Doofus]

1. I was waiting for the DEMs to go there in '04.....

but it never happened.

Instead we got something trite like "Forward Together" or "Together Forward" or something close and equally bland. Shaping and *sharpening* a political message is not what we do best.

I would change the Reagan era 'Are you better off' to the more egalitarian ( and Democratic) "Are *we* better off....".

Either way... the logic is inescapable and the answer is inevitably 'no'.

2. I`m not better off

My debt has more than doubled in the past six years and it`s not from buying things I don`t need,it is from the extra fuel cost up fom 1.00 a gallon to 3.00 my insurance(home owners and garage liability)from $2200.00 a year in 2000 to over $7000.00 this year.I have been buying insuance 32 years the insurance companies have never been out one thin dime on me.

3. not too late to edit the word "simplistic." pug themes are simplistic,

designed to appeal to simpletons

I know what you're trying to say, but simplistic is not the correct way to express it

Reagan/Bush I/BushII/Rove, etal employ simplistic solutions to complicated problems
