How to Win the Elections
- Establish that the Republicans are the ones most responsible for the economic collapse
- Establish that job losses were approaching 600,000 per month before Obama was sworn in
- Establish that Republicans worked in lock-step to block the Stimulus Bill – with zero House Republicans and only 3 Senate Republicans voting for the Stimulus
- Show that, within just a few months of passage of the Stimulus Bill, monthly job losses decreased by (roughly) two-thirds
- Show (via headlines) that despite that reversal, Republicans continued to oppose virtually every job creation, business development and economic stimulus bill right though September 2010 – based, ostensibly, on "philosophical" issues
- State that The Recovery is not a philosophical issue – it is an economic one
- Connect how, as Republicans blocked bill . . . after bill . . . after bill, The Recovery began to lose steam
- Explain why Republicans, as the ones most responsible for the economic crash, decided to block The Recovery in order to save their party – knowing that an economic recovery credited to the Democrats would spell political devastation for the Republican Party for years to come
- Establish that, to this day, they are still blocking The Recovery (despite working feverishly on behalf of their corporate sponsors and wealthy donors)
- Suggest that if Republicans focused their efforts on making America succeed, instead of spending their time trying to make President Obama fail, America would be well on its way to a full economic recovery by now
- Position the vote as a vote to either put those who tanked our economy (and who then deliberately blocked The Recovery) – in charge of America’s future . . . or to entrust it to those who tried to speed The Recovery and help tens of millions of Americans regain their independence and dignity
