One part of securing a Democratic victory in November.
Send every single voter the Republican budget proposals as demonstrated by Paul Ryan.

Effectively scrapping medicare and social security.

The DNC would not need to add anything. All they need to do is just re-print their proposals and send them door to door.

These ideas need to be slapped down in America, because those ideas will infect World wide policy discussions if they gain even the slightest foothold in the US. 100 + years of progress gone.

1. Good idea, although the Repubs already saw the dangers and have distanced themselves from him
But, if the Repubs even consider it...

2. It is up to the Democratic Party to not give them that distance.
He remains their hero on this. They need to be exposed.

6. Our party doesnt want to really expose the GOP since they seem to be
on the same side more often than they're actually the opposition.

The list of policies or goals shared between them is longer than the differences.

4. You'd make their eyes glaze over
And then they'd blame the DNC for giving them a 'reading assignment'. Most mushy-middle Americans simply don't get the nuances of anything more than a paragraph, they merely vote for whoever scares them the least.

5. There are enough swing voters in marginal states
that will care. Direct access is the way of getting them to care.

7. I don't think so
McInsane scared them last time, but the Rethugs will learn how to make President Obama really scary by 2012. They're more than halfway there already.

If you want to scare them back, then summarize Ryan's proposals. You have to spoon feed things to the swing voters. They're swing voters only because they're not regularly paying attention!
