6. We need to take the issues the Repubs are weak on and....
frame them in our own terms. For example, the deficits are a good example. We need to define them as robbing our nation of a prosperous future, indebting our children, and placing a permanent tax upon every American that they will see nothing in return for the taxes they will pay on the huge debt the Repubs are running up.

Another issue is their plan to reform Medicare and Social Security. They call it "reform" but it is more of a plan to destroy it...because they have traditionally been against both programs and America would be naive to think they have changed their minds after 60 years.

They say they are for our military but their deeds belie their words. They have cut massive amounts from our veterans, including veterans hospitals, and they have used our troops as if they were pawns in a gam of chess. They have not respected our troops or their families. yes, they are there to defend our country but they are not there to die for lies and preemptive wars.

Those are some weak areas that I think we could attack immediately and start making a difference.
