This is what I woke up thinking about. The Democratic Party is the party of moral values. I was spooning blissfuly with my loving husband and I all wanted to do was yell at the world.
HOW CAN THE MIDDLE CLASS REPUBLICANS NOT REALIZE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY WITH MORAL VALUES????
Thanks. I had to get that out. The Republican values are all about making money. Making money for the rich. I get why a lot of rich people vote Republican. They want more money.
But the rest of the Republicans that may actually have a heart are voting without the facts.
Here is what the Dems care about:
elderly
children
poor
earth
peace
everyone
Is that so fucking wrong? We want to include everyone. Shoot us down now. We must be horrible people.
We are clearly not selling it right. I am not giving up on the American people. It cannot be all about the money.
We need to keep our message simple to the American public. I like my list. Elderly. Children. Poor. Earth. Peace. Everyone.
I think Kerry's messages were too complicated. We may know the messages weren't really complicated. Raise taxes on people who make over $200,000 a year. Sounds simple to me.
Whatever. George Bush said things like "We are working hard." This was in reference to the war in Iraq. Working hard.
Although, I think that this is a very ridiculous statement. It resonated with many people. Working hard. I can hear them in their homes. "Yep, he is working hard. I am working hard. We must be doing something right."
Working hard is a central value of the American culture. Not for the rich. They want us to work hard for them. We are suppose to consider ourselves lucky if a few dollars trickle down our way.
What are your suggestions for getting our messages our to the public? When we talk to our families and friends, what simple phrases can we say to share the values of the Democratic party?
