Howard Dean highly disappointed me with his statement about Senator Warren.

42. I just don't see a lot of that myself

or that the anti-wall street rhetoric is more harmful than embracing it or what is confusing the Republicans. The Republicans + Rush Limbaugh is an effective marketing pipeline, Fox News is a big one -- it is incredible how many people prefer it & reliably watch it. The party with the 80%+ support from the oil & gas industry & any big money industry is able to create fiction or constantly dispute the science of global warming, it is a huge theme that regular people don't ask themselves why so much attention is focused on it. Instead they think it is a debunked conspiracy theory pushed by dumb liberals but don't ask themselves why it benefits the liberals to have you believe this. No they just think dumb liberals still pushing something already settled as BS.

On so many other issues they market it as beneficial to them, tax cuts means the rich will hire them. Tax increases are marketed as you'll be out of a job. Take those 2 out, they don't think it means they are being taxed (though they do focus on the $250,000 line a lot "Joe the Plumber".

Wedge issues, they love the wedge issues because it keeps the focus away from their bad policies which harms them directly but liberal economic policies poll really well -- minimum wage increase won the midterms.

Also, there is a lot focused on food stamps, safety nets but I actually quite a few Republicans collecting food stamps or whatever government assistance program. I swear on everything I overheard a woman in line complain about "ObamaCare" and that she wasn't going to give "all her information to the government" IN THE FOOD STAMP LINE but the irony went over both of their heads.

Oh yeah, guns. Democrats are actually hurt more as the anti-gun party than they are by "tax increases on the rich"
