I have always been pretty much a one or two issue candidate . Those being abortion and gay rights. However in this current political climate I can see where now more than 1992 it really is the “economy studied” that the greatest majority of the people are concerned about. I have no doubts about Haley’s social views,and he is still one if the greatest political minds of the era,
And? Depending on the district, then give 60% or 70% of your message to the economy...but don't ignore the social issues...
BTW, I find the fantasy land on these threads pretty amazing sometimes...for example, FReepers talk as if one little ole legislator talkin' 'bout the huge, steep economy is then going to waltz into office & presto-chango...the economy's back...
Talk, talk, talk, about something so massive...and we think a handful of newly elected Republican office-holders will turn the mighty Titanic enough to keep navigating around every iceberg @ the breakneck speed we keep operating under.
Amazing.
Listen. I don't mean to completely downgrade talkin "the talk." But, unfortunately, there's not a lot of substantive ideas injected into "the talk." The solutions haven't usually been corporately thought out. And what's worse, few engage like statesmen anymore. IOW, really persuasive statesmen.
Let's face it: The Republicans should be elected to keep the Dems from driving the country faster into the ground than it's already moving. Having said that, I don't expect Republicans to "turn things around" -- just slow down the decay & deterioration & erosion.
Frankly our country is in such a horrific moral state that we're bankrupt there. That being the case, only God; plus mass repentance, daily widespread prayer, and trust in God to act can turn this ship around.
"Economy talk" isn't the gleaming new showroom showcase it's being plugged to be on this thread.
