These arguments would win us the House this fall...

[Ken Burch]

...will our party's leaders have the guts to use them?

1)"The 'Pugs want to repeal healthcare and leave nothing in its place"

2)"The 'Pugs want tax cuts for the rich and wage cuts for YOU"

3)"The 'Pugs want to make it even easier for the 1% to move jobs and wealth out of this country"

4)"The 'Pugs want our troops to stay in Afghanistan and GO BACK TO IRAQ"

5)"The 'Pugs want WAR WITH IRAN...even if that means World War III"

Those five themes would hit the Boehnerhaus where it lives...and mobilize our entire base to get to the polls. As to "the center"...at this point, there IS no "center". 2010 proved that "the center" doesn't exist.

1. I think 2014 will turn on ...

purely economic issues. But it wouldn't hurt to mix in the "Iran/WWIII" issue ... but that might upset the Israeli lobby.

2. AIPAC has kind of shot its wad pushing to stop Obama's Iran policy, though.

My point on the foreign policy stuff is that people aren't going to vote for a party that wants to drag us back into wars the country is already out of or on the way out of.
