Perhaps someone can explain this to me I am confused

I have seen advertising (bombarded is better word) from the RNC (or one of their us-chamber/pacs) on tv about social security, medicare, medicaid, the debt ceiling, the deficit ect...

but, I have not see a damn thing not even a little pushback in advertising lately by the DNC to refute the republicans...

Where are our donations to democratic values going? Why are they not at work to refute the nightmare that is going on today?

Who the heck is in charge of the message?

Any explanation please?

2. Not one proposal has revenue increases in it.
I'd call that a pretty solid win.

3. Personally, I think it's because BOTH parties have been
robbing soc. sec. for decades and ALL of them don' want to pay it back. That's the reason they, ALL OF THEM, want to get rid of soc. sec. before the American people wake up and realize what they've done.

6. Again this is about the message on tv
Nothing seems to be getting across by DNC operatives...no ad's. no commercials...only a few moderate and progressive commentators...

I just watched another ad paid for by the us chamber of commerce saying "Bohner has the ideals, let him lead" whatever the heck that means...is he running for president and is about to claim he can magically fix everything with a wonka bar or his orange oopma loompa up the butt?

7. Do the job and save money
All the President needs to do is hold a press conference and the communication is done - and saves money, too. I liked his suggestion last night, to e-mail your senators. I think he has some innovative ways of dealing with the issue. Let's flood the lines and crash the servers. There is also, the commercial where the three seniors say, "What were you thinking?" but I'm not sure who sponsored the ad.
