Born and bred in North Carolina, I'm not used to our primary votes truly being "counted." I'm not even sure that I voted in a primary until after college. I DO know that I didn't like Ronald Reagan in college, even as my roommate loved him and thought he was god. Ugh....after he was shot--and, yes, after I KNEW he was okay and was going to make it--let's just get back to the NCAA Championship, 'kay??

I liked Carter, even though he said "nukular"...much as Preznit Bush does now...and I voted for Clinton and liked him--moreso his policies--though I did not try to defend his moral ground--there was no defense for it--and there were many times I felt hoodwinked or slimed on in their (Bill AND Hillary) defense of their remarks, associations, pardons, etc. Sometimes it just felt slimy.

Over the past couple of years--as I've turned into a (lurker) political junkie--I've been teeth-grinding frustrated with how easy it has been for the right wing cabal to latch on to media sound bites that become repetitive in defining Democrats.

Oh you know them, I'm sure:
Defeatocrats
Tax and Spend
Cut and Run
Death Tax

Once these sound bites are thrown out there, they are repeated ad nauseum and they seem to stick in the minds of the "information-challenged" in our population. What I'd like to see is a straight-forward, clear, no-nonsense response to these Republican frames. Here's what I'm envisioning:

In all the great questions of life, here is one thing I've never understood: If the Republican platform is so wonderful, the right vision for America; if their policies are (as they claim) so great for the economy, national security, the military, the environment, big business as well as workers, international standing, etc.....then why in the world would they have to resort to some of the atrocities they have been accused of over the past 8 years (at least)? I mean, really, shouldn't the Republican party just be whaling away, beating Democrats handily, accumulating majorities of, perhaps, 80-90%?? Shouldn't we ALL be voting Republican in droves???? I mean, shouldn't we?

Why aren't we all voting Republican?
