1. Thanks for the link. Better than good stuff. Glad someone is saying this outloud. Where are

the rest of the dems? Where are their voices?

"Just a minute David, now let me take you on on that."

Kerry holds his position.

[grumgrum]

8. So Kerry is the Wealthiest in all of Congress, right?

Bravo for willing to give up his tax cuts for the sake of the country.

9. Why does the Site Order the Clips order and play in reverse?

Anyone notice the site stacks the clips in a LIFO order but then auto plays from the top-down...you'd think it would play from bottom-up so it is in order..how odd.

10. Use AdBlock Plus (Firefox) to remove the ads.

And just watch the clips uninterrupted.

11. ProSense, the other day you posted an awesome Alan Grayson video on taxes. Now another one by Kerry,

also on the tax issue, which IMO is the one issue that has killed us time and time again because Democrats, with the exception of ones like Grayson and Kerry, just do not take enough time explaining it in simple enough terms for the average American to understand that Democrats are not raising taxes on THEM unless they are filthy rich....and why taxes are necessary for the country to survive.

I think you should start a "tax education" video scrapbook, featuring those two videos as the first two pages, and show it to as many voters in the country who are willing to take the time to look at it.

I also wonder if Grayson's and Kerry's efforts on the tax issue are FINALLY an indication that Democrats are going to dumb down the tax message so it sinks in to even the most naive Republican and Independent voters out there. Good job!

12. Great idea

You should do it, especially since you have an idea about the effectiveness of such an endeavor. Go for it.

13. I already sent the Grayson video to a lot of people and

will do the same with this one. Hopefully, our talking heads will eventually ALL be simplifying the message about taxes so it sinks in to the masses of thickheaded voters.

BTW, something everyone here should be doing is taking the time in the physical world to explain to at least one Independent acquaintance a week, or even any conservative, ugh, who you know, just what the real message is about taxes because too many of them are getting their info from Rush or Fox. It's not all that easy trying to get the message across to them at first, but if you keep harping away at them, some of them actually start changing their tune. I figure that the best thing each of us can do is educate someone, especially those who are sitting on the fence.

14. This is an excellent idea - it would be good if if were placed in the Research

Forum or somewhere where all of us could easily find it. If that is a bad fit, do we have a Democratic facts and talking points forum? It would be great to have a place where we could find good resources on contentious issues.

It would be great if you took the best things others posted to create this for the tax issue as a prototype for what we could have on many issues.

15. Here's a good video of Senator Casey speaking out:

16. As always Senator Kerry is a

clear voice in the face of republic absurdity.

He's a great asset who is underused as a spokesperson and surrogate.

There should be Dems all over every media outlet exposing their duplicity.

17. It was so refreshing to finally see SOMEONE defending Obama! He did a GREAT job both setting

the record straight against the RW talking points AND against David Gregory's false claims about Obama.
