I expect the Dems to run the “Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps and Pell Grants” line heavily, especially in swing states, important Senate races, and in congressional districts that we took in 2010 (or are otherwise seen as vulnerable by the Dems). In fact, the Democratic National Congressional Committee and the DSCC are already running using this.
Yep, its 1995-1996 all over again. I thought that voters this time around might be a little wiser than to buy the "Mean ole' republicans want to Kill Granny and Starve Little Timmy". If there is any positives from the election, we have discovered that the democrats in 2012 are just going to run the same old 90's playbook. The bad news is, it still seems, at least in this election, to have worked. The good news is this is NOT 1995-1996, we are in much worse financial shape and this time around we have Fox News, the Internet and the Tea Parties to spread our message. Republicans need to formulate a response quickly and hammer it from now to election day.
Until Republicans wise up and go for the real pork no one will listen.
