You can serve the greatest restaurant food in the world but you will go out of business if you don't know how to advertise your product. Democrats need to attack the GOP + the Conservative media relentlessly. Here's how.
1. On foreign policy issues, you state that you are for capturing + killing the terrorists (Bin Laden) Bin Laden harborers (The Taliban) and Bin Laden's funders (The Saudis) and contrast that to Bush who believes in letting terrorists get away with 9/11, forming govts with the Taliban, and being friendly with Bin Laden's financiers. YOu call republicans anti-troops, anti-military, weak on national security, a joke, failures, unAmerican, and you don't let up.
2. On domestic issues you link every GOP social issue to that of Bin Laden's. (Run ads morphing your local GOP congressman into Bin Laden if necessary) You blast them on gas prices, health care costs, the environment, the minimum wage, education cuts, middle class tax increases (NEVER let them call their proposals tax cuts)and destroying America. And when you do 1 + 2, you WIN!!!
