It is just God damn amazing how Democrats refuse to

[Auggie]

10. Most people know it's bullshit ...

those who don't would never vote for Dems anyhow ... some wouldn't bother to vote at all.

In advertising (my profession) it rare for a brand to respond to another brand's claim, no matter how outlandish (at least publicly -- if it's slanderous they'd answer through the courts, for example).

Instead we work on developing better strategies and ways to deliver those strategies. My gripe is that Dems' messages are usually either too muddled, disjointed or weak to cut through that bullshit you mention.
