Just in case the Democratic leadership doesn't see ....
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 04:11 PM by kentuck
what the Repub strategy is on Social Security privatization. We assume they do but that may be expecting a little much from our side.

The Repubs are in an all-out PR campaign to sell the idea to the American people. They even have ads out promoting it - especially to younger Americans. Now, we can sit back and do nothing and watch the polls slowly climb in the Repubs favor or we can counter them with ads of our own. As of today, some polls are showing approximately 44% in favor of Bush's plan and 47% against and the rest undecided.

But they do not plan on resting until they have the numbers on their side and then they will cram it down your throats. Just in case you didn't know what is happening...

1. Yeah, why don't they take some of that money left over from
the 2004 campaign and USE IT!! I've been saying that we need a CONSTANT CAMPAIGN from now until 2006, and then to 2008 or else we won't get anywhere....

2. E-mail this
to Rahm: he obviously doesn't get it. And I have very little hope for the others.

4. They could book big-name DEMS on TV interviews every night for free.
Who is stopping them from sending Hillary, Obama, Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Harry Reid from going on live TV every night?

Are interviewers of any network likely to turn these big names down? I doubt it.
