Every Issue is Going Our Way
1. The War in Iraq is facing heightened violence and continued chaos. The 1000th US death, and increasing casualties point to the President's failed policies.

2. Medicare increase of 17%, which is the largest increase in the 40 years since the program's inception.

3. Personal questions concerning the President's avoidance of service,illegal drug use, and much more, including the lies and cover ups.

4. The continued poor economy, the out of control deficit, and health care losses.

5. Leaks in the Pentagon, CIA, and Justice Department which should bring scandals to the front which will have key administration officials as targets.


If we can't use these issues to our advantage to defeat the worst President in our Nation's History, we don't deserve to win.

2. But how stupid are people?
The situation certainly seems right for the tables to turn, and we must point out these problems in our campaigns, but there are a lot of stupid people out there. Furthermore, the administration has been playing with everyone's heads. We all have trouble keeping the facts straight. So we need to point out where the Bush administration went wrong, and we also need to put forth the truth, vividly and diligently.

3. Here's one fool-proof argument
We're in a mess, and a vast majority would agree. Once you establish that fact............

Hit them with this, and with passion.

The Republicans control the Senate, the House, every committee of oversight in the Congress, the Presidency, every Department of Government including FBI, CIA, Justice, Defense, the Pentagon, Labor, every f**king one. Every ambassador to every country, every trade agreement, and the ratification process. The Supreme Court, and the appointments of every federal judge in the system.

If this country is f**ked up, who do you figure is to blame?

Wait, like Adli Stevenson during the Cuban Missile Crisis at the UN, for an answer, then repeat, WHO THE F**K IS TO BLAME!!!!

5. Thank You
I think that we have to keep it much more simple.

The people we're trying to convince won't listen for more than a minute (literally), so we, as advocates, must make our point simply and concisely.

6. ok this bothers me a bit
perhaps you could clarify if I am not understanding you correctly.Your first point seems to actually be gleeful that our troops are dying. Your other points 2 and 5 seem a bit wrong too. I would change them to people are realizing the war is going bad, the econmy sucks ect ect I know you really don't mean that you are glad these things are happening since you are a democrat but, the wording bothers me. Please take this in the spirit it was intended and not as an attack. Thanks.
