GOP's nadir, how to exploit it
ILLUSTRATED: The mantle for the economy, Iraq, and valuing families is ripe for the picking.
A lot is happening in the news within a week of this writing. Back in June, I mentioned that Bush was finished politically, now I predict serious damage is being done to the Republican Party brand now in September. On the economy, Iraq, and family values, the GOP has been discredited. Now is the time to swoop in and offer an alternative.
- "The Bush economy is growing"? There is breaking news that 4,000 jobs were lost in the August. Normally, we need 150,000 new jobs just to sustain population growth. The overwhelming majority of Americans are worse off than they were last year.
What we say: "Democrats will create portable, affordable healthcare, lifetime education, and fair trade policies."
- "The surge is working"? The Iraq report will come out in a few days with no sign of success. This means an oil revenue deal combining with securing the entire country to allow an enduring political structure. None of this is happening.
What we say: "Redeploy to Afghanistan and our own homeland, and leave behind enough troops to fight al-Queda, protect our assets, and help contain the territorial integrity of Iraq."
- "The party of family values"? The Larry Craig scandal proves that the words "family values" are just rote, empty words spoken by Republican politicians. They are human, with typical family issues. Their party's policies do not value families.
What we say: "Democrats enact policy that values families."
