Republicans can't be trusted with your money.
Republicans will spend your money.

Republicans will spend your pension plan.

Republicans will spend your children's future.

Republicans will give your money away.

Republicans will give your money to wealthy people.

Republicans will spend your child's education money on war.



Why don't we hear this from Dems.

No complicated reference to vague policies and programs. Just plain talk.

1. because republicans own the media
it all goes back to that

dems say plenty that does not get reported, a perennial of DU is posts from know-nothings saying things like "why doesn't mary landrieu speak up?" well she speaks up plenty but if the nat'l media refuses to report it, then it's the old chestnut abt a tree falling in the forest

they tend to speak in complicated terms. Just use plain speak.

4. and the country knows it
I saw a poll recently (and it was a faux/dynamics poll) that had the Dems way out in the lead on the economy. This is our strongest asset, and we should beat the drum on this.

6. EVERY Dem should repeat this simple message that
Republicans can't be trusted with your financial security or future until they are blue in the face. EVERY opportunity; EVERY venue.
