How can we get Blue Collar, White Males to reject the Cheap Labor Party??
Advertisements [?]
Other than the abolition of the electronic vote rigging (and, of course, somehow avoiding a nuclear war within the remaining year and a half of the Bush Reign of Terror)- isn't this our most important issue?

We certainly can't appeal to them with many of the usual liberal standard bearers (the Barbra Steisands, Jane Fondas, the Clintons). Don't we need more exposure for the more blue collar, good ole boy type liberals like Willie Nelson? Bruce Springsteen is another tremendous asset. I think that some of the blue collar support that Cheap Labor gets is really based more on a REJECTION of the intellectualism of many liberals (such as the brainy Woody Allen types), more than it is for any real fondness for the party of the country clubs. Unfortunately, a lot of blue collar Cheap Labor supporters seem to really distrust anyone who reads a lot (a major problem).

So, it seems to me, as long as we tell them they can still keep their guns and have great, affordable health care for their whole families to boot...as long as we can recruit...I don't know, perhaps a race car driver - to explain how badly the Cheap Labor Party has been using them Big-Time-taking them for fools - tax cuts for only the super wealthy, INCREASING their tax burden and eliminating their services (not to mention, wiping out their Social Security), and how a bunch of Chickenshit ChickenHawks (real men do NOT let other men do their fighting for them) are abusing the American military - unfairly forcing them to fight and die, in an endless war strictly for the benefit of big oil and defense contractor tycoons!!

How do best can we reach them? We HAVE to find a way. Any thoughts?
