Perception vs Reality

I can't understand why the red state people vote against their own economic interest and we aren't letting them know, hey, guess what?

Minimum wage - you haven't had a raise since 1996 when a Democrat was president.

Bankruptcy - see what they're doing to you - good luck with the medical bills

Medicaid - they're going to cut it to shreds

Social Security - the President has been pretty consistent since his days at Harvard that he wants it gone.

Family leave act -thank a Democrat

Tax cuts? Not for the average American. I paid more this year (AND IT HURTS) than last year.
Estate tax? Yeah, Paris Hilton won't have to pay, good for her.

The problem as I see it, and feel free to help me out with this, is the most people want to be rich so they think that voting Republican will get them there. It's like a "W" sticker on a Yugo, no one wants to think of themselves as a Welfare Queen, but the reality of the matter is that the Red States take most of the money from Washington and the Blue states are sending it to them.

We need a comprehensive marketing plan to educate people that the Republicans are taking away from them and the Democrats are actually working for them to provide a better life.

It's so frustrating that we get bogged down in the single issue shit. God help me, I'm prochoice but NAARL and Planned Parenthood you aren't doing anything for progessives.

The Republicans win because they're on message, consistently. They work together, in spite of the current rift we're seeing.

WE NEED TO DO THE SAME.

Healthcare and Gas Prices, hammer it home and we will win.

The problem is, who is going to lead?
