If the Dems can't go after the Rethugs for signing that budget cutting bil
that Bush says he will sign...after Cheney cast the deciding vote...I will have had it with them and I will not send any more contributions to any of them. They MUST hit the air waves whenever they get a chance and give the facts on the draconian cuts just approved by the Republican controlled Congress. Students loose, their parents loose, pharmaceutical companies and other corporations were protected from the cuts while your working families will suffer all the pain. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS SHIT!!! I know the MSM will not give them must leeway, but whenever anyone of the Dems appears on any talk show THEY MUST TURN THE CONVERSTATION AND RE-FRAMW ALL ISSUES INTO TALKING POINTS ABOUT THE BUDGET CUTS!! It's what Americans of all stripes understand unfortunately. They don't give a shit about war, killing innocents, endangering women's lives, corporate corruption, record oil company profits along with record gasoline prices to consumers, a lying President and lying administration, injustice, racism, the elderly or born children. ALL THEY WILL REACT TO IS HURTING THEM IN THEIR POCKET BOOKS AND MAKINg it difficult for them to get credit!!!!

Dems must act now or lose the entire ball of wax!!!

1. All the Democrats in both Houses voted against it. NOT one Dem
voted for it. A few "moderate" Republicans voted against it also because they are scared it is going to be used against them - and it will.

The huge fight was back in December. I remember it. The Dems were railing on the Republicans constantly for it.

The Dems are going to run against the Republicans on it in November.

2. I know that. But are they going to do NOW is the question.
They must use this opportunity to drive the message home to the dittoheads supporting this administration. They must use this to win in 2006.

3. nothing will be done, or HEARD about it, cause the media
refuse to discuss it.

I've had CNN/MSNBC on for three hours today, and haven't seen it mentioned yet

4. We need to help frame the issue
Conservatism = stealing from the American people to give to corrupt bunisesses that will use the money to ship American jobs overseas.
