So here I am at work minding my own business. There is apparently a heated discussion going on in the next office of a political nature. The lone Democrat-leaning person is being eaten alive by the Republicans in the room. I decide to try to do a rescue.
Many issues came and went. The biggest two that I heard where 'Do what do the Democrats have to offer except to destroy Bush?' and 'If the CIA report was true why should we not have invaded Iraq?'
So here I begin my discussion with them. I talk about environmental policy, minimum-wage, health care, getting out of Iraq and more. The idea that the Democrats have a message still fails to reach them. I go on about oil, oil, and more oil. How Iraq was all about the oil. One of the guys says we can't afford to wait for a smoking gun to protect ourselves. We couldn't wait for Saddam to have WMD. And even though North Korea does he feels neither side has a good solution there.
My question to all you Kossacks: Where does one get the unified Democratic message? Where does one find out about the initial CIA report? How can I best show, say on a side-by-side comparison, how Democrats are better for this country than the existing bunch of Rebulicans? Someone had to do a spreadsheet there!!!
Help me win a few more converts. I'll post the follow-up discussions I have on here too.
