20. Ref. Clarks Stump speech...
"WE ARE THE MORE CONSCIENTIOUS PARTY (using the word literally). How can we get this across to the country?
I think the word you're looking for is "hypocrite." May be too strong a word to be used too often. If we can keep bringing up examples of them saying one thing and doing another (and there are PLENTY), that will work."

While this would be fun to see their faces, if you're honest with yourself you will see this from 'every' group. All you would do is trade names of people that do this and each person would go away thinkging 'I showed them' and nothing will change.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't think that 'republicans' are any different than we are in what they want, they just see a different way to go about it. (I'm basing this on the ones that I know....you may have a different experience). These are honest policy differences, it doesn't make them all evil.

Wouldn't it serve us better if we were able to explain our side without resorting to name calling and pointing out individuals that failed to measure up? We may actually be able to convince someone to see things from our perspective, but once the name game is played you've closed the door on opportunity.
