GOP and conservadems are Lucy. They will pull the football away every single time you try to kick it. Stop falling for it. They won't play ball with you.
So here's what you do. Ask them to hold the football, run up like you are going to kick it, but..kick them instead, in the asstrix as hard as you can. Put your boot up their keister so far that they can finally tell the difference between shite and shinola.
Play to Win. You need to remind everyone why things are so bad now -- not simply to blame, but to underscore fact that root causes of current problems lie with failed Republican't policies. We can't go back to Republican incompetence and corruption. Talking points below the fold...
Here are your talking points. Hit them again and again until November.
- Economy is in trouble due to failed GOP policies. GOP stands for tax cuts and deregulation. We tried this under Bush. It failed. Tax cuts led to deficits and deregulation led to Wall Street excessive speculation and financial collapse.
A. Massive deficits were largely caused by Bush Tax cuts which failed to generate sufficient growth and excessive GOP spending.
B. GOP is party of fiscal irresponsibility with massive wasted spending. Iraq war and Bridge to Nowhere are prime examples. Think what we could do with the trillion we spent on Iraq.
C. We need to reign in Wall Street and re-regulate. Tax the Banks to repay the Bailout. Don't give up on this one or you will lose the people!
D. Obama economic plan saved economy with stimulus. Thousands of Jobs saved and created, economic disaster averted thanks to Democratic policies.
- We are winning in Afghanistan. We did more against Al Quaeda in 1 year that Bush did in 8.
- We need to fix Health Care. Republican't obstructionism and lies are hurting America and middle class Americans. GOP should contribute or get out of the way.
- Science and Historical Facts matter. GOP wants to deny science and re-invent history. We need to address climate change and move to 21st century economy.
