Helen Philpott should be writing ad copy for the Democratic Party

[renate]

Folks, from where I sit, we’ve never had it so good. One less war. Most of the TARP money paid back and another Great Depression avoided. Unemployment numbers are shitty – yes - BUT imagine how bad it would be if Republicans had done away with unemployment benefits like they wanted. And as someone who has Medicare, I can assure you that government-run healthcare isn’t Obamacare, it’s common-decency-care.

The Tea Party wants to complain about Obama’s “run-away spending” but the fact is Bush spent billions on wars while Obama has spent billions on an economic stimulus package. Fact. More private sector jobs were created in the last 8 months than in the entire 8 years of the Bush presidency. Fact. The only thing the Republican Party has increased recently is the number of gay teen suicides.

1. What is also sickening is a lot of the deficit is from

the Bush administration's two wars. And the lack of revenue from the tax cuts to the rich. But yo never hear one republican admit that. It is all blamed on this administration and the dumb a** public goes along with it.

4. Absolutely! She nails it clearly, and with the kind of language that explains

policy in terms that tells people how policy directly affects them. (Is it effect? I used to know that one.)
Bill Clinton has that ability with words too.
