Nonsense, the Dems win with name=calling all the time, they accuse Republicans of starving children and old people, hating women and blacks, poisoning the water and air, killing U.S. Soldiers for oil, killing Iraqi children for oil, warmongering, being uneducated and stupid, bible thumpers, anti-science, bigots, homophobes......
I could go on.
Yes, the DIMS use all those names, but they’re falling on deaf ears this time around. Most folks don’t give a hoot about names, they care about jobs. As long as we stay focused on that and don’t get side-tracked we’ll be alright. This time around WE get to frame the debate.
