the easy GOP ads don't care about such things ericson00 Feb 2016 #14

right and the GOP ads will just treat Hillary with the respect she deserves, got it n/t yodermon Feb 2016 #15

elections are won/lost on policy attacks ericson00 Feb 2016 #16

Raising taxes worked great for President Mondale Gothmog Feb 2016 #36

False equivalency. Mondale never promised to lower costs. And raising taxes did work for Obama. merrily Feb 2016 #60

Denial is not just a river in Africa Gothmog Feb 2016 #62

Nope. Glad you got that. It isn't only facile, false centrist memes about past elections, either. merrily Feb 2016 #64

Why single payer died in Vermont Gothmog Feb 2016 #67

Again, a different point entirely than the one you tried to make in Reply 36. You're flailing. merrily Feb 2016 #70

We're not running against a popular incumbent, among other things. thesquanderer Feb 2016 #44

Raise your taxes a little, lower your costs a lot. Obama did it. It's not rocket science. merrily Feb 2016 #51

Mondale lost because he had the charisma of month-old lutefisk Ken Burch Feb 2016 #56

I did a lot of research on this because I was so tired of the center right memes. merrily Feb 2016 #61
