The ‘pendulum’ isn’t going to swing so far the next time around. With the dims’s lock on Hispanics growing stronger and stronger thanks to President Santy Klaus, it will be far more difficult to get the votes we need to thrash the opposition.
2016 is by no means a shoe-in just because ‘it’s our turn’. Such thinking is delusional.
Yes, afraid this is so. That is precisely why the Dems want to increase the Hispanic population.
What surprises me is being the Hispanics are largely Catholic, why are they voting Dem at all? The church could have a helping hand in this if they were to seriously sway their own members toward the conservative values they believe in, such as marriage between a man and a woman, no abortion, homosexuality is a sin against God.
We need to get the Reagan Democrats to come to the understanding that they as working people are the ones who are carrying the burden on their shoulders. Also, when people are educated about the effect that the debt will have on their children, they will come around. But first they must be educated in terms that Joe Average can understand. Republicans tend to use wonkish or accountant type language. They need to bring it home to the working people in a way that they can understand. For instance, what does 16 trillion actually mean? You use numbers like that and it makes people’s eyes glaze over, but you tell them that every man woman and child in this country own 40 thousand dollars to the federal government and they will get it.
Another thing is to drive home the point that the Democrats are always begging for more money year after year. When are they going to stop? It is true that the Democrats are slick talkers who could sell ice to the Eskimos, but when you tell people enough is enough, they can get it. We have to use simple speach that Joe Average can understand.
We need a clear simple message-—enough is enough.
