6. Sun Tzu: "On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground,
... FIGHT.

<clip>

This is an election about throwing the bums out and Democrats need to make a clear statement of fundamental values, not policy differences. Some strategists insist that Democrats must adopt the religious code words that Republicans use to signal character and values to evangelical voters. I would suggest that all Americans, religious and secular alike, share a language that is full of words that describe character and values. How about we start using some plain English words like unethical, dishonest, unfair, untrustworthy, dishonorable and lies. I think everybody can understand what those mean.

More of Digby (at his very best):

Senator Feingold and Congressman Conyers (and a few other Dems in Congress have been using "plain English words" and, guess what, they're making it stick -- just as Ned Lamont did earlier today.

THROW THE BUMS OUT -- ALL OF THEM


Peace.
