This is the first of a diary series I plan to post repeatedly during these last three months of the campaign to help us defeat Republican candidates this fall. The idea is to compile, post, and keep updated a list of the most damning facts and attack messages against ALL Republican candidates.
Here are a few very general examples of the kind of ammo we need from you:
How many Americans have lost their jobs because of the 2008 Bush-Republican recession? (as of what month?)
How many Americans lost their homes because of the 2008 Bush-Republican recession and because Republican House and Senate members repeatedly voted against Democratic bills that would have saved those Americans their homes?
How much did the 2008 Bush-Republican recession end up costing each American?
By how much has the minimum wage not kept up with inflation because Republicans have regularly voted against those increases?
During the Bush years, how much less money did average Americans earn annually due to stagnant wages, even after Bush tax cuts?
Here are a few general examples of the kind of attack messages we need:
Very few voters this fall will vote for the same Republicans that destroyed their economy, and cost them their jobs, homes and life savings.
If American voters are foolish enough to vote for Republicans this fall, those Republicans will bring back the same Bush economic policies that caused the 2008 Global economic meltdown.
The 2010 election will be nothing like the 1994 election because everyone knows it was Republican economic ideology and policies that ruined our economy, and American voters are in the mood to punish those unrepentant Republicans.
In each of the updated diaries, I’ll post the facts and messages you come up with for the preceding diary, and hopefully also list them by category. With each new diary, I’ll also ask for more ammo so that we can build a bigger and bigger arsenal. Before long, we should have a solid and devastating ammo stockpile that we all access anytime by typing "ammo against Republicans" in the Daily Kos search box.
I hope this will prove useful to our Daily Kos attack machine; I’ll do my part by compiling and reposting your facts and messages, but I need your help to come up with them. One last point; there will probably be some Republican supporters trying to mess with us by posting erroneous data, so it would be a good idea to provide a link to your source. That way, whoever uses the fact can verify that it is accurate.
Let’s fight so ruthlessly against the Republican Party this fall that come November they find themselves LOSING seats in both the House and the Senate, and also LOSING Governorships!
Now, let’s see what we’re going to hit them with again and again and again!!!
