...over again on their lies and shortcomings. Not just Bush, remember he isn't the one that's going to be running for President, but every single corrupt, lying, sack of fertilizer in their party. Make the people begin to have some doubts about not getting off their butts and voting. In the process we might just take back a few of those 'security moms' who defected.

We also need to reach the working class, again. We need to form solid easy to understand opinions about how they are getting the short end of the stick from the Republicans and how we plan on fixing that. Point out that they hold the power to change their lives by voting the Republicans out. Then we need to have every single party member preach it from their soapboxes.

We need to start out on the offensive this time around and stay there. IF we give them an inch they turn it into a mile.

Last and far from least. Teach the youth. It's been my own personal pet project for the past two years. Teenagers are more receptive to views that don't mimic their parents then you might think. Bush is making this easier for us as more of their friends are being sent to Iraq. The letters they are sending back home are not all the raving endorsements you see portrayed on TV.

Another way to reach the youth is to offer them better chances of funding their college. There's still far too many kids who can't swing college tuition. They know they have no real hope for a meaningful future. Offer them a chance and you could make a Democrat for life.
