All Dems need to refine simplify our message
We need two or three criticisms of Bush and to say them collectively over and over. The public doesn't understand more than that. Each criticism needs to be summarized in a small phrase. How about:

1). Mislead us into war.
2). Lost jobs.

Say them over and over like a drone. The GOP are experts at this, sort of comes naturally.

2. As stupid as it is,
The public only responds to 3-second soundbites. Just look at "flip-flopper" and how people took that and attached it to Kerry.

Kerry needs to do something similar. Find a word/phrase and attach it to Bush. "Liar," for example.

4. "Religious Right. Religious Right. Religious Right."
"Supreme Court appointments" and "possible draft" are also powerful.
