Lately there seems to be talk on the media about "uncontrolled government spending." The 'RATS' other talking points aren't working, so they're trying to anger those conservatives upset by expansion of government programs.
Perhaps the RNC could make an effort to explain why compromise is often needed in politics (so you can win a battle on your way to win the war). It might also help to put the deficit and spending in real/today's dollars perspective.
I would also like to see some commercials touting the successes in our War on Terror. The mainstream media certainly isn't covering that stuff.
I also believe we need more "never forget" messages out there. These could include more mention of our "civil defense/Homeland Security" successes, too.
Last, but not least, I would love to know how many who served in Viet Nam and weren't carried out on stretchers got to return home after only 3 or 4 months of service.
