... in so very many ways. But today, let's help them figure out how to simplify the message defining what they stand for and how they're different from Republicans. Democratic pollster Ruy Teixeira said recently that Democracy Corps' latest list of focus-group tested phrases sound too much like a laundry list. So let's lend a keyboard.
Here are some I thought of yesterday after reading Teixeira's post:
We want what's best for all Americans, not just a chosen few.
We want better, not bigger, government.
Everyone should pay their fair share. Nobody likes to, but everybody has to.
Are you better off than you were six years ago?

Eyewitness Muse has a great one in an otherwise
hilarious write-up of the Bush administration's latest assault on evildoers--testing sewage for cocaine residue (NOT an April Fool joke).
The Republican Party used to stand for limited government. But under Bush it's become the party of government without limits.
Give me your tired... I mean, your ideas. I'll make sure that some of the Party poohbahs see the best ones.
