Dems focus on populist messages : That their ideas will help or protect them or OTHERS and it wont hurt anyone, anyone that matters anyway.
‘ We can create jobs helping people and pay for it by making the rich (not you) pay their fair share, money they shouldnt have anyway and don't need’
The other message :’Republicans just obstruct progress and oppose the will of the people because they hate the President’ (or some other bad soundiing reason).
And they reframe the issues : tax fairness, gun safety, marriage equality
BTW : Talking about 'freedom' is NEW to the GOP, deathbed conversion late 2008. They never talked about 'freedom' under GWB. Under GWB the GOP theme much repeated here by some and talk radio was 'We (gubment) are keeping you safe so shut-up and do as you are told'
The shoe is on the other foot.
Indeed. It always disturbed me how some would use the "submit to authority" command (in the bible) to justify absolute/unconstrained acceptance & compliance -- as the TN Constitution puts it: That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind -- without at all considering the fact that not every command from an authority-figure is a legitimate authority-carrying command: indeed how could a regulator of the FDA have any authority over your purchasing of reloading equipment? Or the city-counsel's ordnance of a town in another state be binding on your county?
To be perfectly honest, the only thing the GOP does is aid the enemy.
They are serial betrayers. If a person has a knife in their back, there is a R on the handle.
To Hell with them.
