The Rude Pundit: This Ain't Rocket Science
Ads. Everywhere. Now. Here's the taglines:

1. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want poor people to be able to eat."

2. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want you to not have feces on your food."

3. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want the men and women who rescued people after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 to get healthy."

4. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want firefighters and police officers to be able to get fair pay."

5. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want all Americans to be able to openly serve in the military."

6. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want women and men to make the same wage for the same work."

7. "Republicans want billionaires to be richer. We want to make the nation safe from nuclear weapons."

This even leaves out vaguely controversial things like the DREAM Act.

You wanna start framing things for 2012, Democrats? You begin now. You let everyone know where Republicans stand. And you at least try to pretend you stand for something else.

1. Tut, tut; get with the program
We have to work with Republicans in order to ensure that billionaires will get richer. It's a very subtle, nuanced game of 12-level Vulcan chess that sadly, your little mind just isn't advanced enough to grasp. Ignore the plain facts of what you see before you, and believe deep down in your heart that this is all for the best and couldn't possibly be any better.

Oh, and these aren't the droids you're looking for.

8. It is simple. But since they are complicating it, they are in on it. It's that simple.
