Unfortunately...I just heard Mort Kondrake and Fred Barnes on Beltway Boys...pretty much AGREE with Hillary about her comment re: the House is like a plantation...
SOOOOOOO...that certainly doesn't help...especially when Barnes went on to indicate that the "lobbying scandal" is all about the Republicans...he never ONCE mentioned that democrats were on the Abramoff list...dang!
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."?
Generally speaking, union members do not strive for opportunity. Rather, they strive to protect what they have. That's an important distinction in marketing. Union members are not the target market for self-help or business opportunities. They are a target market for things like insurance and home security. Sell them a product or service that helps them protect what they already have. Whatever you do, don't tell them you are going to take something away from they.
Go Hillary!!!
Barnes is singing McCain's song. Making the scandal into something it is not. I doubt many Americans are surprised or turned off by the thought of lobbyists paying congress critters.
