Economic Appeal: isn't keeping your house better than keeping your gun?

[bobweaver]

Can't the low-income and/or working-class voters who went for Bush be convinced somehow that the Democrats are the ones who are fighting for them economically? Is making your house payment more important to them than whether someone 3000 miles away had an abortion? Isn't having food on your table - that you paid for free and clear, not on credit - of greater importance than whether or not the 2 men next door got married? Doesn't the bottom line mean anything to these people? Or are they going to wait until they lose their house and are starving in the freezing cold before they make the connection to their situation and the Republican policies? Which is really more important, keeping title to your house or having a gun in your house? What good is a gun to defend yourself and your property if you HAVE NO PROPERTY to defend?
