This is, more or less, what we're up against:

[TheKentuckian]

91. It is way easier to whine about voter apathy than actually do anything to earn votes.

They especially don't want to talk about how their "Centrist" ways are failing in their asserted purpose of drawing independents, they just keep doubling down in phony pursuit of a "middle" they have passed over and now are in Reagan territory in a struggling country, push austerity, saber rattling, and privatization.

Add that to being all mealy mouthed about what the bloody TeaPubliKlans are up to and playing the lame "bipartisan" angle and the case is willfully weak and muddy.

TeaPubliKlans tell the electorate that we are evil, godless, lazy, hate America, are purposefully destroying all opportunity, wish to Institute mind control, are going to force them into gay marriage, put them before death panels, that we are helping (insert boogieman here) destroy America, and anything else they can hurl at us while Democrats tell anyone that will listen that the TeaPubliKlans are right about a lot of things but their is a few little honest disagreements that we are willing to compromise on.

What messages do you think people are getting on average? Who is going to be more driven, the voter told life and death are at stake or the one sold seemingly on more professional management of the same general policy bearings?

What are we a low self esteem teen that has to have everyone like us? Think how often that desperate sort turns out to be even less popular than they would be if they weren't trying to be?
